Garage Finished

[Scott Pearson]

Here is the new garage. Its not as big or as nice as my old one but its still nice and roomy.

Still need to insulate the walls and get the heat hooked up. All electric is done.

Nice looking garage, didn't see a beer fridge though.

 

[Scott Pearson]

I have one...just didnt want to load the garage up to much until I finished the inside

Garage looks great, what size is it?

Looks great Scott, love the ceiling. And that's quite an exhaust fan, repurposed from somewhere?

Nice shop, looks like plenty of room.

What are the measurements?

 

[Scott Pearson]

Thanks! Its a 30x40 and the exhaust fan I was going to use if i did any paint work. Had it laying around so I just installed it in the back wall.

What kind of insulation are you going to use? Aren't you afraid of the metal building sweating and causing the isulation to get wet and mold? This is my problem with the metal building I just built. I am afraid of using insulation. Although, I am not going to keep it heated 24 hours a day all winter. Are you going to keep yours heated all day long all winter? Thanks...............jwillis

How much for the yellow boat?

Is the ceiling steel?

 

[Scott Pearson]

When I insulate the walls I will put up an air barrier first like Attic Insulation Baffles . You know the type you use in attics or garages so the air can flow between the plywood and insulation. When I heat the garage I will keep it at say 55 during the winter. I will be dead and gone before the steel rots away....

I used R-30 in the ceiling before I put the steel up.

Yellow Boat...That is one of 12 Donzi Bench Seat Hornets left. There is over 100K in the restoration. I'm sure it can be bought for the right amount of money

Nice looking shop! I love the deep overhang over the doors.

what is the spacing on your trusses? what type and brand of steel is the ceiling made of?
garage looks great.

A tidy place Scott. Can we see some more interior photos please ?

Thanks for posting pics, that is one nice garage.

A great place to keep that classic boat of yours, neat.

Nice looking garage. Looks like mine without the ceiling, lights, fan, electrical...and boats. What kind of steel did you use on the ceiling and did you lay insulation right on top of it. Are you going to drywall?

 

[Scott Pearson]

The ceiling is the same steel used on the exterior except white. The trusses are 4' on center. I added 2x6's inbetween the trusses so I could staple the insulation to the trusses. I used R-30.

As far as the walls I will be using plywood I think. Not sure as of yet but I figured I would seal it and paint it white. I think it will hold up nice and look fine. Any thoughts?

I also need to finish painting the window frames on the outside. I want them brown like I did the door.

Awesome shop, but your (and ours) garage is "NEVER FINISHED."
