Looks nice, where did you buy the wall wood? How did you finish it? I'm looking to do something similar

Very interested in these!

Another thing I've done is really scour facebook marketplace for deals on tool boxes, cabinets, etc. I was able to snag a few toolboxes, a shop fridge, cabinets, rolling cabinets, and a bunch of hand tools for a good price. I also got a really great bar and stools for cheap that I'll put a...

During the spring I also picked up a playset from costco, which took a pretty long time to put together doing it solo. Probably about 15 hours or so. Hopefully the kids get some use out of it. I also went ahead and started moving a few things in from storage, including my Kobalt tool...

Thanks!

Another project was installing a new roto-molded hot tub I got earlier in the winter. Its an aquarest AR600 with upgraded heater and pump. The rotomolded tubs caught my attention with their durable construction, no wood to rot, and cost. This one was slightly more than 2k delivered and has all...

So this brought me to about March 2020 and then covid hit. While I had 3 months off from work due to the mandated closure of my business, I didn't exactly want to be dropping a lot of funds into the garage. I did have a few other projects that needed to be done though. The house has an...

Here's some of the photos from the 2x4 wall framing. I placed sill plate foam beneath the bottom PT 2x4 and then toe screwed that into the the main posts spaced 8ft on center. then I ran studs up 24" on center. I opted to not secure the walls to the floor so it can float as needed.

Next step after moving in was to figure out a plan for insulation. I read probably hundreds of threads and thought I had settled on a plan. I was going to put 1.5 inch xps foam board between the horizontal 2x4"s of the walls and then stud out the walls and finish with fiberglass batts. This was...

First time garage owner and first time poster. A lot of the works has already taken place but I am going to try and update this thread as I continue. Background info: December 2019 we move into what we hope will be our home for a long time. Its a ranch home on a little over 2 acres, but the...

I would have spray foamed it but I was worried about rust issues, which I read about on the boards.

I've read and read and read about this topic and can't seem to find a definitive answer. I am in the process of insulating my 30x40 polebarn in Pennsylvania. My original plan was to put 1.5 inch XPS foam in between the girts against the metal, sealed at all seams with greatstuff foam, and then...
