I live in Houston and would like to install a mini split system A/C in the garage so I can work on my motorcycle in August and not die of heat stroke. Just had the contractors install a new breaker box in the house so they could run a 220V line to garage for the A/C. It is a 20X22, 2 car garage with no insulation and no ceiling installed. Just bare. I have no soffits and no ridge vent. I would like to leave the rafters open for storage space (no ceiling).
I have searched this forum for a solution to insulate it with no luck. At first it seemed like spray foam would be the way to go but the cheapest bid I got was 1600 but most were around 2 grand and I cannot afford that.
I do not want to compromise on the ceiling. I like the openness feel of the exposed rafters and storage.
What can I do that will look nice, work, and not cost me thousands of dollars?
