BR&D townhouse build

Names Ben

Lurked a while, thought id share a bit.

I grew up spoiled with a big shop area on the family farm. Turning wrenches in parking lots and apartments for the last decade left me longing for a work area again. Years of working finally led me here.

As any normal project starts off I thought I would finish out my garage. Then I found out I could see day light coming through my exterior wall and feel breezes coming in. Discovered it wasn't insulated, my kitchen above it was always cold in that corner so I thought id address it.

The townhouse

19X19.5 ft

Started innocently enough

Insulation and added 120 & 220 while in there

Got some paint on

Garage door insulated

Buddy heater is plenty more than I need

Still have lots of little things to tidy up but its a start for now.

The end goal is a functioning metal fab area that supports my general tinkering from bikes to cars.

Nice job on getting extra space hidden behind the wall.

Looking good, working on ideas for my TH garage : )

What is on the other side of the back wall? Any space you can re-purpose as additional work space?

Nice start! So you didn't do a full tear down of the wall to insulate it? I'm in the same predicament, and trying to get ideas.

Love that under-stair cavity for your air compressor. Great use of a normally wasted space.
