Sorry, I'm in Virginia. I was planning on going to R30 for the ceiling.

Hello there, I've been "renovating" my 24'x25' garage lately to turn it into a more studio type garage as I film videos in my garage. I've put up my lights, plumed all of the wiring and plugs, and have started putting up insulation along the walls. I've gotten to a point where I'm unsure of...

I believe there are 12 trusses and it's 24 feet deep, so that's one truss every 24" and they're a 2x4 truss with two "v" beams in the middle. Is there a formula out there to see how much weight that supports? Perhaps I could used recycled press board (like what is on the roof) and use that to...

sorry the pictures are dark, there's no lights in the garage that are hooked up yet. (i don't trust the previous owners wiring job).

wiring in a 240 volt plug wouldn't be that big of a deal, just more work for me. but since there's no insulation or drywall it wouldn't be too hard. It has a breaker box installed with 100amps coming from the house's 200amp breaker. Looks like it was properly installed with an underground...

Okay, thank you for the responses, I'll get a picture of it when I get home from work today. I don't believe it has soffits but i could be wrong. Location is central virginia. It can get up to 105 degrees and down to -10 degrees at the extremes, and it runs between 90 degrees and 20 degrees on...

Anyone?

What would be the safest option for him? Electric heaters?

Wow, that's pretty nice! What's your ceiling height? I have a garage that looks about the same height and I didn't think I could fit a lift in it..

not enough for a 32x32 garage... $600 would probably cover just over the amount of the insulation.

I just bought a house because of the garage. It's a 24x24.5 detached garage. It has one large door in the front (maybe 18 feet wide?), and one side door, and two windows. It is not insulated. It gets quite hot in there, like a greenhouse. So I was going to put a gable vent in the roof (or wall...

RaceDeck Flooring would cost $1975 to cover 520 sq feet. That's more expensive than laying down actual epoxy..

well i believe it was sealed when i built the place. I called up a local place that does epoxy flooring and he said it would be $2300 for epoxy flooring because he'd have to remove the sealing. OR it would be $700 for just re-sealing the floor. So I said meh, I'll just stain the floor with my...

I will be testing the concrete for moisture tonight for 24hrs. If there is minimal moisture, I will buy two of the $75 Valspar epoxy flooring from Lowes and install it.

Yes, but I can't always predict when leaks like the rear differential. That's the point, the landlord agreed to epoxy on the floors. She just didn't want to pay for it.. How much does it cost to lay the clear coat/ concrete sealer?

well i wouldn't mind paying the $75 for the one at lowes, but the $300 for the epoxy-coat one might be a little much for me to invest in a rental? would the $75 one be that bad?

what is the difference between your epoxy-coat, and the valspar kit that I can get at lowes? Do i need special shoes to walk on top of the epoxy as I'm laying it down? squegee, brush, etc.? My car is technically a 1 car garage, but it is about 520 sq feet, which package would be better?

because all of those options are over $600 for my dimensions, and epoxy would cost me under $300 if I do it myself. When you say acid "etching" do you mean that I would use the "cleaner" that comes in the kit and scrub the floors with it?

http://www.lowes.com/pd_373321-21374-HK-0800_0__ how bout this? how hard is it for a novice to do this?

probably would prefer a black color because that would hide things better.. a black gloss would be AWESOME. I could end up staying longer than a year, that's just what my lease is for.. Problem is that i may not be able to clean up spills right away. (for example, I have a car in my garage now...
