dude insulate. I did mine and here in michigan I can get my garage up to 50ish when it is below zero outside. Looks good.

oh, i'm plannin' on it alright.... just have'nt gotten around to it yet,... been putting all the excess money in to the truck ....or my latest toy,a new 80 gallon air compressor and sandblast cabinet!luckily i work in a machine shop and i can get the filter,regulator and oiler for the steel lines for free.....btw, i got a pole barn style of garage which has the posts on 8ft centers.how did you insulate your garage? i been thinking of going w/ 4'x8' foam board ,2" thick.....anybody got any suggestions?

My dad did his (2400 sq ft) actually framed it and used reg 16" w insulation paper backed then rocked and textured it.... little bit more time and money but well worth it... otherwise check into a spray foam style

i'm helping my girlfriend's father finish up a 40x40 shop right now. And he's using this aluminum stuff, 14.5 r-value and doesn't need to be covered or anything, works as it's own vapor barrier, and it's fire rated, then we're throwing up plywood to cover up the bottom 8' of each wall, and leaving the insulation exposed the rest of the way to the roof (about another 7 feet). And like it so far, but the heater hasn't been hooked up, and haven't seen it through the first cold spell, will have to get back to you on that one.


here's the stuff... http://www.insulation4less.com/

[BUXMAN66]

thanks guys for the compliments! it sure has been a lot of work as many of you know.....

[SURFER1316]

should hold up good, it's stapled to the boards that support the metal walls, I actually put up a few sections of it this weekend, and it's easy to install easy to cut, seems pretty quality stuff, but I'll make sure i update you as soon as the heater/ac is hooked up

[BUXMAN66]
