Hello been getting a lot of great ideas from this forum. I bought my first house and it has a new detached 2 1/2 stall garage (23 x 24 I think) It was perfect because beside the actual structure it was bare (no insulation or sheathing) and just two light fixtures, pretty much a bare slate. I have been insulating my garage like a frantic squirrel before winter comes.
I used 7/16" osb sheathing on the front wall and about 8 feet back, to keep cost down for now. i will eventually osb the rest and a long time down the road I will put up drywall. I also spayed the osb white with a industrial paint sprayer, which let me spray that **** on thick
For lighting I put two huge lights up in the rafters, which keeps it pretty bright, Still have plans for more lighting but this is pretty good for the moment
I also built some overhead storage to hold plastic tubs to keep them out of the way. I made a wheel rack as well.
The previous owners had replaced the countertop in the kitchen and was kind enough to leave it in the garage, so I made a wall mounted workbech. And next to it is a rolling workbench for metal work and banging on stuff.
Little bit about me, Im 24 years old and have been working on my cars outside, or in storage garages my whole life, I finally have a place now where I can work on my things comfortably and it is an amazing feeling. Everything that I own I pay for myself. This is just the begining and not anywhere near completion yet.
Thanks for looking
