Thanks for replies. Do they make any insulation panels that have a white clean look on the back side? I'd rather not have the reflective foam on the top.

So I'd like to use insulation panels for my garage doors but I am having trouble finding some that fit my door. My panels on the door are 48"x24". It looks like most are 20 inches tall that I can find. Does anyone know where I can get panels that are 24 inches tall? Thanks

So, I'm going insulate doors and it looks like my only option is try out a mini-split in the garage. Since above the garage is not built out yet, what type of insulation should I put on the garage ceiling? Do I need to address that for now or should I worry about that once I start building that...

Thanks for the quick reply. It looks like this will create a high-gloss finish, correct? Do you have any pics of what it would look like? Also, will it be slippery at all? Is using a sealer my only option for my needs? Sorry for the abundance of questions, just trying to make sure I understand...

OK, so I've decided to insulate my garage doors. I need to figure out my next steps and I appreciate any other insight 1) Would insulating the ceiling help alot? The area above the garage that is framed out gets hot as hell. Also, would that affect anything once I go to build out the playroom...

I've been reading up on installing some garage door insulation and I like the clean look of the panels. I found a 8 piece kit at Home Depot that seems to be fairly nice and easy to install. Has anyone ever used this kit before and what was your experience with it? Did it help with the heat? If...

Thanks for this. Should I notice a big difference from doing this? Also, are there some instructions on how to do it and what type of foam I should use?

So it sounds like I should start with doing the garage doors....baby steps. Will I notice a big difference? What should I use that looks the best and how do I go about doing it? Also, what about changing the torque settings? How do I measure and change those on the motor?

I'd like to get some suggestions on what to do with my garage flooring. We live in a new house (about 1 year old) and I have a 3-car garage (about 700sq ft). I have been researching this topic for a while but I wanted to get some input from you guys since you seem to know way more about this...

I'm a newbie to this whole garage cooling topic but I've been reading up on a few threads about it. I'd like to get some opinions from you guys to see what I can do to get my garage cooler than it is now. I live outside New Orleans so it gets pretty hot and humid during the summer. We live in a...

This is pretty much what I was looking for. I may try this out, but have a few "rookie" questions if you don't mind: 1) What did you use to attach the pegboard to the uprights? 2) With the shelf, what kind of wood did you use and how did you attach it? 3) In the attached picture, you can see I...

I've attached the pic of my workbench area. I want to hang a pegboard on the wall behind my workbench, but nothing too large (maybe 4x4 feet). Also, I want to add some sort of lighting and a power strip to the bench. There's an outlet on the wall where the pegboard would go so I was thinking...

Wow. Thanks for everyone's responses! Firecracker, if I put casters on there, do they slip at all if the brakes are on? I may like that idea. Also, how do I determine what size plywood I can put as a shelf below? Also, can you tell me how to install it? Remember, I'm a beginner. Also, where is...

I'm not overly handy but I'm in the middle of constructing a workbench so forgive me for my lack of correct terms or wordage. Attached is a picture of my workbench. I'm putting 3/4 plywood (not OSB) as the top surface. Before I do that, I wanted to get some insight/ideas from you guys on how I...

Would rather not use invisible fence or chain link. Want it to look decent.
