We just finished the loft room. I'll post some pics this weekend. I've got to start working on my cars before the weather breaks:) The garage has been alot of work, but well worth it Stay warm Dave of Dave's Garage:beer:

Actually they are the inside freezer panels like on the inside of a walk in cooler. They are 4' wide by 8' and 10' long 1/4" plate on the outside and inside and 3 3/4" of compressed insulation R38 value. They are heavy and hard to work with, but when all is said and done it was well worth it...

That's all the cars we have for now. I can't afford anymore, although we are always looking. Went way, way, way over budget. Dave

It started as a pole barn and I went way deep. The freezer panels are heavy, but the 4" panel gives you the same R value as a 12" wall. I have a contact that does freezer panel work. These panels are used and some are beat up. ( you fill the holes and dents with caulk and sand ) I hung them...

Believe it or not... the inside walls are walk-in freezer panels. They are 4" thick 1/4" steel plate inside and out and 3 1/2" of compessed fibreglass They have an R38 rating I used 2 part epoxy paint and it was a lot of painting 3,150' of wall area but's it hard as a rock and covers great...

The Loft room is almost done We've been working on the stairs to the loft ( Manly Man Room ) for the past couple of weeks on and off as time permits. I'm not a carpenter so it has been design and build as you go and 100 trips to Home Deep Stroke. I'll post some pics tomorrow Dave:beer:

The unit is set for 120* I have the room set at 68* So far, so good. The gas bill first month around $80 - $100 We'll see what the next month brings As far as the sheet metal...you can go to a local lumber yard and they can order what you want. I think Home Deep Stoke even sells it Let me...

Yes I have it layed out for a 2 post lift. I haven't deceided which one yet We're building a loft area next to where the lift is going. We start that this week When thats complete we'll install a lift Dave:beer:

Nice looking unit:) Enjoy it.......... It's amazing what a little bit of money will do Dave of Dave's Garage:beer:

Thanks for all of the nice remarks I used a Rannai Heater....180,000 BTU...90% efficent It's tankless and it works great. It heats fast and it is quiet and it's small It's running me around $80 to $100 a month so far in Syracuse on natural gas. As far as the sheetmetal.... if you get a...

Thanks Guys My wife calls it my vacation home since I can't afford one anymore. It's going to be a storage and small repair garage. We are going to start building a 24 x 24 loft area soon. We have jack trusses over the loft area and next to the loft area will be a 2 post jack system with a...

I finally have some pics of my garage I started back in April. It is 40' X 65' with Radiant heat. It is still a work in progress, but I wanted to post some pics Dave from Syracuse http://www.flickr.com/photos/41419363@N00/

I just finished my garage 40 X 65, 15' high. I used hardi board horizontal on the bottom and 4 X 10 sheets on the top over USB board. One thing about the 4 X 10 is that they are heavy and hard to work, but they look great and are very durable. Good Luck Dave
