As much as I was trying to avoid removing the door due to being temporary...I keep leaning towards just doing it. If I do, I will probably add a window. Seems like less of a headache as far as it being sealed properly and not worrying about moisture or mold. May be more of a hassle when...
If i did take the door off and frame in the opening, would I need to pour concrete first or just use a pt base plate with some tapcons? Here's a few pics of the opening without door. Thanks everyone for the help so far.
Ok thanks, I will put some reflective foil insulation in the windows, can foam around the door to seal and pick up some rock wool. If I put the 1 1/2" foam board back then I will lose the gap between the wall and door. Should I maybe try 1" board instead or just leave it out completely and keep...

I am converting part of my garage to a bedroom and was
building a wall in front of the garage door. I started with
a wood door, not well sealed. put a new door bottom
