There is no propane. the apartment will have a heat pump

Plan C - froth pack and spray foam the ceiling in this area then? Guessing Plastic on the apartment side touching the sheetrock is less then idea. I appreciate everyone's response.

The whole ceiling is insulated and both ends will be done as well before I complete the apartment which will have double walls of insulation for noise control from my shop (see small, attached picture). I had originally planned just to put sheetrock onto that. Regarding your "Though I’m not...

For our shop garage door, my wife liked the look of wider trim....so I installed the one side the realized I had no idea how to do a similar look for the top. If I use the same material as the side water will roll right in. Foam would not be enough to stop water. Thoughts? I put a piece...

So insulate, tight or air gapped doesn't matter, and uses low moisture heating. Would a couple of whirlybird style vents or a peak vent on each table tide then to a thermostat make sense? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using The Garage Journal mobile app
