Thanks guys, the rubber mats are looking very appealing provided I'm not going to stain the cement underneath from contained moisture somehow. Does anyone know of any coin pattern sheets for $200 or less in the 7'4x17'ish size or is it just the ribbed stuff at that price? I like the idea of not...

Thanks, was thinking of doing that too. Did you have any issues with moisture being trapped under the carpet and causing any issues? Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Re: My (New) Neighbors Probably Hate Me...But That's Okay - My “Dream” Garage Build Awesome build! I too am over in Plymouth and like mentioned this trend is also extremely popular here. Gotta admit, I hope to do the same thing some day once I can afford it. Areas like these really have a lot...

That's a pretty good idea, didn't think of that. Thanks!

I will be moving into a rental condo soon where I have 1 generous space in a 3 car garage. The cement is currently very nice and I would like to keep it that way while still being able to do legitimate work to my car/bike. My landlord knows how I plan to use my garage space and didn't bat an...

Beautiful work! Not sure if you already said, but what paint and application method are you using on those blue bench tools? It looks beautiful and I have a few tools that need restoration as well. Does it seem pretty durable? Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Beautiful build, quite jealous. Any further plans for the garage portion?

Thanks guys, this is very helpful. I wasn't familiar with what is done in other areas of the country because I've lived in the Metro-Detroit area my entire life, and they are predominantly in basements here or in a closet if there is no basement.

Unfortunately I am not able to insulate the room that it's in. It's a 12'x24'x12' space with the exterior walls and roof being steel and only steel I-beams as support. Any insulation method would be very expensive both because of the size of the room as well as the fact there is no easy way to...

I'm not too worried about that. It's basically a 5th bay to the shop that is walled off and completely unfinished and uninsulated. I plan to put up a simple half-wall in an attempt to reduce any airborne debris from making it to the furnace. It's really no worse out there in that sense than it...

Sorry, might not have been clear. This isn't at a residence, it's just a residential furnace I will be using to heat my 24'x48' shop/garage. Thanks for the responses.

Getting ready to install an older residential furnace into my garage for heat. Previously I had planned to mount it inside of the garage, however I do have an uninsulated attachment to the garage where this could easily go and be out of the way entirely. Is there any issue with the furnace...

Yeah, I don't expect the floor to be warm itself, just would like the air as warm as possible down low to combat the fact that the floor is cold. Radiant heater is unfortunately not an option due to the layout/structure of the ceiling combined with all the overhead doors and the lift/shelves. I...

Thanks for the responses. I'm in the Detroit, MI area. Garage has 4 overhead doors across the whole shop plus a lift and ceiling-height industrial shelves so ceiling fan is unfortunately not really an option. The building just has a tin roof with steel I beams so no attic either. That said, the...

Have a 75k BTU Rheem furnace from an apartment that I got for pretty cheap. Will be using it to heat a 48'x24'x12' poorly insulated detached garage. I plan to run ducting of some sort from one end of the garage to the other to have somewhat even heat. I also plan to mount it horizontally near...
