Greetings, salutations, bon jour, guten tag, hola, ohayo!

Stumbled across this forum in my quest to renovate a.. wait for it.. garage. I do believe that this might be the right place to pick up tips, strategies, ask questions, and eventually, brag about results.

My former abode was small, and had a commensurately small attached garage. The garage was insulated and decently finished, and while it had insufficient electrical service, I was able to mangle woodcraft and smoke cigars out there in some modicum of comfort year-round.

We recently bought a larger house, with a spacious, detached garage, with its own 80 amp subpanel complete with a 220v breaker. However.. it is cold as the Dikkens (Dikkens with 2 'k's, the well-known Dutch author), being brick on the outside, and bare boards and 2x4 framing on the inside.

So... my quest for the spring of 2015, will be to transform the space into a year-round retreat where I, and friends and neighbors, may mangle woodcraft and smoke cigars.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I'll thank you in advance for any help, correction, and well-deserved abuse that I may receive here.

Welcome aboard from another noob. I will tell you if you haven't figred it out yet that having your garage/shop the way you want it is kind of a moving target. But it is fun to keep aiming for it.

SJB: you are in the right place and happy to have you if you like working with tools and smoking cigars. post up a few pictures of your garage if you want to add a bit of color to your thread hear and some of us might know a thread or two for you to read or ask questions on for help.

welcome

@prd2hnt, I'm located in central Lincoln.

@rburke, Yeah, I'm one of "those sort" in many respects.

@drivesitfar, I'll take some pictures of the dismal cavern as a "before" entry, just waiting for the temperature to be above single digits..

@the rest of the gang, thanks for the welcomes!
