    My restored New England garage WITH HEAT!

    I ran out of sheet rock by the time I got to the main garage, so I went to Lowes and bought the bead board that looks a lot like wainscotting.

    Hanging the insulation sucked, but the real **** job was hanging the sheetrock. NO, I didnt rent a machine either....I really did this the hard way...all 5/8" board too...

Someone had ordered the wrong size (or didnt know how to read a ruler). I took a look at them and knew that me and my trusty "sawzall" could get...

    My restored New England garage WITH HEAT!

    A while ago I joined this board when I was starting my garage project. I never posted as I went, but I took some pics during the process. I started off with a very old and falling down garage years ago (9 years ago) when I first bought my house. My plan was to level it and put up a new garage...
