PCD: Last year's version
^ sounds like a lot of fun. my 2 car garage is attacked to the house with one kid's bed room on top of it. the garage was insulated at the roof but no drywall. i worked for about a month to insulate and drywall. got a friend to help me hang the drywall, then i finished it with tape, mud, sand, paint and trim molding. it's worthy it, my garage doesn't get below 50* in the winter. i put a small electric heater out there a couple hours before i go out to work on the car and it's comfortable.
Nice! Now all three of us will have upgraded that ish... Kenny, where you at, fool!?!?
You should be running 265's anyways.
265 StarSpecs are a whopping $313 on closeout. 
Not me, son. Don't get it twisted.
Wish I had known you were insulating that bish. I have multiple rolls of R13 in my basement left over from my home renovation that I would have given you. Like spare tires sitting around, all they do is take up space. I would have been glad to get rid of them.

265 StarSpecs are a whopping $313 on closeout. I've been working on domination of my garage for the last month or so and its almost finished. Reached a milestone today and finally got the sub panel energized!! I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, only a few small things left to do. Some of you have seen it before and know its nothing special, just a standard 2 car detached garage with about 300sf. It was dusty, uninsulated and had only 1 outlet for the WHOLE garage shared with one single light and it was knob and tube coming from the house! Working on cars was always a PITA. It was HOT in the summer and COLD in the winter. All that is now a thing of the past. My goal was to insulate, add wall & ceiling panels, real electric and heat/AC.
Over the summer I had an insulated 2 bay door & opener installed, that was the first step. Since that time I've done errthing myself over the last few weeks with the exception of the doors and windows I did in the fall and actually terminating the wiring in the panel, my buddy Nick did that today. Installed 4 new windows & new man door. Framed walls & ceiling for insulation, r13 on walls and double faced R19 on ceilings, installed soffit vents and gable vents, spray foamed every joist bay so its sealed, installed wood paneling on walls, dug a 1' trench (about 40') from the house to the garage and laid 1.5" conduit, taking up the pavers in the process, ran all new electric from house to new sub panel in garage (220v 60 amp service w/8 110 outlets; 3 20amp & 3 15amp & 2 30amp). installed 12 - t8 32watt shop lights, purcahsed 4000w 220v electric heater that I will install this coming weekend, 220v outlet for welder (still have to purchase welder). All in all its been a pretty big project but I can't wait for winter to hit now that I have a nice warm place to work on my cars. Compared to what I was working with before this is going to seem like professional shop with all the lights, available power and comfort I have now. I still need to do some organizing of all my tools and what not and a couple little things here and there and also I'm going to do the siding in the spring and maybe coat the floor too if I can get it clean enough.

^ sounds like a lot of fun. my 2 car garage is attacked to the house with one kid's bed room on top of it. the garage was insulated at the roof but no drywall. i worked for about a month to insulate and drywall. got a friend to help me hang the drywall, then i finished it with tape, mud, sand, paint and trim molding. it's worthy it, my garage doesn't get below 50* in the winter. i put a small electric heater out there a couple hours before i go out to work on the car and it's comfortable.
God help me, I hate doing that type of work, though I always find myself at a friend's house helping with that. There's just something about home renovation that doesn't motivate me. However there are also a few things in my garage I want to do. More lights and sealing the floor are top two. Going to happen this spring.
I'll reseal your garage floor when you come to LVGP on a Monday night. BOOM!
