Hi guys,
So I did an introduction page but know whether I could post my progress in there or not. So I started a new thread.
The garage is a 24x24 with one overhead door and one man door. The previous owner of the house had it built in June of 06. She was an older lady and only used it for her car. Nothing was in the garage when we moved in. It was a blank slate. The concrete has a couple minor cracks. And the bottom plate needs to be caulked to make a tight seal. (we have a handful of crickets that I share the space with)
After looking at alot of builds on here, I knew mine wouldn't compare to most of them. I don't have the time or the money to make it wonderful. But I want it to be a comfortable place to be. With motocross in the spring and summer. I'm in the garage alot working on the bike. And do my rebuilds in the winter so I want some type of climate control.
So I was going to make a trip to menards to get some supplies and asked my dad if he needed anything since it's kind of a far drive. He drops off a list and his credit card and said he would pay for some of my insulation. Awesome! Well his list was pretty big and I have a short bed crew cab truck. So it was a tight squeeze. 20 sheets of drywall, 6 Batts of r13, 8 rolls of r19 23w, and a box of baffles.
I want to keep my attic open, I know I will sacrifice heat loss but I have well over 1000 decoys I store up there. So I need the access to get bags of 10-20 decoys down. So I got the baffles like you would put in a cathedral style ceiling.
This will be slow and pretty simplistic, but I would like a place to keep track and get opinions and ideas from others.
Here's what I have done so far, pardon the mess.
That's my helper bear, she doesn't help much. Usually just lays in front of the fan.
