Then the wife and I sheathed the reatining wall insulation/framing....we used 1/2 inch fir plywood and used wood filler on the **** joints to make it look like a continuous sheet....for some reason I don't have many good pics of the filler in place and sanded....got busy and forgot I guess....

Here she is after 4 coats of finishing mud and sanded out....

Next was the dreaded drywall...can you tell I don't like it:confused: I've tried my hand at it several times and to be honest I'm not that bad at it, but for this build we hired the job out....100% of it, the only time I touched the board was to help unload the truck! We really wanted a pro job...

Thanks for kind words...you're right, it is critical if one wants to work in the garage in the winter...helps with the summer heat too.

I agree 100%, this ***** is playing both ends to the middle...use the home inspection to drop the price then get warranty to boot.....tell him to take a flying f&ck at a rolling donut!!!

Hey John, the thread you are looking for is "the shop fan"....Ryans.. Good idea you have there!

I've never seen that much stuff in a garage, he's got one of everything! I keep thinking that he better hope he never has to move:willy_nil

Sorry the pics are out order, but sometimes I get ahead of myself and don't have the pics I need to show the progress...and have to go back to others to illustrate....anyway I'm sure you get the idea...

Hey Dee Soto...welcome! Send us out a pic of your project-ride...nice to see another Calgary guy here! :beer:

Then 2 16'X8' doors, one with a liftmaster jackshaft opener and rising rails (2/12 interior pitch) for the vaulted side and a standard 8' install with a whisper drive for the other side.... That's all for tonight guys.... :beer:

Then it was the R40 ceiling treatment and R20 for the walls...

Next, we had to figure a way to insulate the retaining wall with minimal loss to square footage , so 2X2 frame and the Pink Panther it was...no to mention a few cans of spray foam to help seal any remaining gaps...take a look ...

Crongrats on the new place! You`ll enjoy working on the garage knowing that it`s now yours and will benefit you in the long run... Nice banner....from a fellow MOPAR nut..:thumbup:

Exactly what I was thinking! Large aircraft hangar doors work in this fashion only motorized and stack together neatly on one end when fully open...
