For a garage you can get away with no sanding, if you want no "holidays" is 25 minutes per room to much work for you?

.

25 watts at the lowest speed likely 170 cfm, not much. Your far better off with a window AC.

True but If you want your taping job to look good it requires a very quick sanding basically to catch small high spots. Between coats an average room takes about 25 minutes of sanding between coats (wall and ceiling). Yes the "professionals" do not sand between coat but the results show it.

In order.....Vidmar cabinets, Mini split for HVAC, storage shelves, 20 ft container for all the stuff which should not be in my garage.

Good reminder Fitter30 to watch which chemicals to use on coil fins. Was not referring to use Lysol Tub and Tile @ foam on the fins, just the plastic filters.. According to the SDS it does not contain citric acid but there are safer PH neutral chemicals to use on aluminum fins.. Looked it up...

Did not pay to the machine shop pictures, sorry... Temporarily you could blow fiberglass insulation up in the ceiling, so what if it gets wet as long as you get to the leaks in a reasonable time, water will travel through fiberglass, not adding much weight, when wet it will dry out in a few...

Unlikely you could not suspend a ceiling with a high R value insulation or the building would not be standing today due to it's first heavy snow decades ago. Please take a couple pictures of the interior of roof and post. Drop ceiling with insulation are very light compared to a normal ceiling...

As to dust.... Without wood working it takes 5 minutes to clean the filters on my Fujitsu mini splits, remove filters, spray with Lysol tub and tile cleaner foam, rinse, reinstall. Once every year or two, clean the internal coils with PH safe coil cleaner, roughly 10-15 minutes. With a great...

Not during 1 am to 8 am in the morning, spring or fall , unless you want gallons of water condensing on everything, except in a couple very dry states .

What is damaged ?, if only the fins, it is considered cosmetic, also fins can be straightened with a coil comb. Another point with multiple mini splits, assuming they are the same make, it would pay to pickup spare parts from auction or Ebay. Further down the rode Ebay or FB will have cheap...

Un-insulated? do you have a nuke reactor or do you enjoy burning money? Insulate the ceiling at least, then think about mini splits. Single zone mini splits are very efficient compared to multi zone units. aside from providing redundancy. Have garage which is 1/3 of yours, fully insulated...

As to smoke smell........finish off with a thorough spray of 5% vinegar, it must be wet completely or the smell remains.

Citric acid is a mild acid, especially for copper, work slower than stronger acids but is much safer on metals or use the available lime scale removers at the big box stores, be care of any which use strong acids such as hydrochloride acid. I would heat up any solution you use,. warm but not...

As to the wall vapor barrier, most important is stopping the air from moving around within/around the insulation as best as you can, sealing the outside wall with sealant, and if covered on the inside, seal any opening as in electric boxes, plumbing pipe etc. If you will have ceiling consider...
