Then, I finished the wall framing the other day so I started installing my lower wall panels. Finally starting to look like a real garage!!:rocker::rocker:

Made some great progress in the past month. Finally got the spray foam done!! Long story, but I ended up getting 2" of CC instead of OC foam. Not quite the quality I was hoping for, but I got a good deal on the job.

Thanks! Quite the experience...At first I was scared to have one, but it's been great so far. I put the foam inside the building, up against the skirtboards. Then I took the Crete-heat panels and butted them up against the vertical insulation. You'll want some backfill against the vertical...

Never heard of the product "Hydrofoam" you mentioned, but I used a similar product on my floor before I poured...made installing the pex super easy. It's called Crete-heat. Basically, it's 2 1/2" EPS foam with a vapor barrier on top. These sheets were 2'x4' sheets and interlocked together. I had...

I've had more mk2 GTI's than I can remember...still have 2 big bumper 16v's...I just can't resist the quad round headlights on the 91-92. Nice grab on the CNC machine too!!

Thumbs up to the mk2 GTI in the garage....my favorite body style in those cars.

I had this discussion with a buddy of mine who does insulation. He suggested green fiber. Yeah, you get more coverage per bag from the attic cat, but when we totaled it up, it was still cheaper to go with the cellulose and buy more bags and still get almost the same R-value/inch...it worked...

I did a bunch of research on this as well...I wanted to spray foam, but worried about spraying right on the metal in case I ever wanted to remove panels ( I also heard it may prematurely rust the panels, but can't confirm that). Either way, I opted out. Fiberglass Batts was an option, but at the...

Brownbagg, Definitely not a Hunter lift from any pictures I've found...the back of the post frame has a section that is built out further. Closest I found was a Weaver AFH-90. But the lift arm carriers look different. JSK, No arm restraints...

It has 2 cylinders. One is just hiding in the photos...there is a floor tray. No overhead beam. Short story is the original owner bought it new back in the 80's. He sold it to a neighbor who rebuilt the cylinders and used it for about a year before he was moving. What do you mean by arm...

I know it will work. I've seen it in action last year before I bought it...Rams were rebuilt, so that's a plus. Still would be nice to know who made it...it's really solid! I had a mini-ex teetering on it's bucket trying to move the posts! I've moved a newer Challenger lift, and it was nowhere...

Bringing this back from the dead...hoping someone new sees this and can help me identify it. Any ideas...anyone?

Loopcad helps get you started with the layout. It's really not that daunting of a task. Once you get a system, it zooms right along. Bottom line, you've spent a considerable amount on the building already I'd assume, because I built the same size. The extra money to add it, isn't going to make...

Some pictures for details

Finally finished the first stage of insulation...my wife and I just had a baby, so getting some quality garage time has been limited. I had to do a lot of work at 2hr clips. It's done tho. Next step will be 2" of spray foam to seal the cracks and bind everything together. On a side note, I have...

Yeah, that's for sure Unruh! I thought my house was a money pit. This garage is gonna send me to the poor house

Few updates on the garage...it's been slow going lately. Funds are low, but I found a deal on some factory seconds of insulated concrete forms. There was so much of it, I figured I'd use it for wall insulation. 2 1/2" EPS foam. It interlocks with each other so it's pretty sturdy once it's together.

I have 2 radiant zones in my house with the same staple up aluminum plates that Randy posted...I only did it this way because the house at a 28x25 addition that was covered in tile. I have reflective foil covering the pex, but haven't had $$ to cover that with batts. I'm using an outdoor reset...
