Going to quickly recap and bring this build up to speed with lots of pics. I'll let the pics speak for themselves :thumbsup:
Setup:
It’s an attached and staggered 3 ½ car garage. I had the double door side of the garage built extra wide and the single door side was built a bit wider with a 9’ wide door. There are no rooms above the garage as it’s a ranch style bungalow. The shared walls with the house are 2x6 studs and are fully insulated and vapoured accordingly. The exterior walls of the garage are 2x4 studs and the ceilings are 10 ½ feet high. The garage was fully dry walled by the builder but there's no insulation on the exterior walls or in the ceiling. The garage doors themselves are insulated Wayne Dalton 8300’s. This was my initial plan which I've been working on and knocking out slowly.
Plan:
1) Fully insulate walls and ceiling
2) Add a ceiling mount natural gas heater
3) Extend garage rails on single garage door for high lift conversion
4) Add jackshaft lift to single garage door
5) Add dedicated hydro outlets and more lighting/outlets elsewhere
6) Install a 4 Post hoist
7) Install a Pro Jack on hoist
8) Upgrade compressor
9) Install ceiling mount air hose reel
10) Add a central vacuum outlet in centre of garage
11) Install cabinets/workbench
12) Install diamond plating in work areas
13) Repaint and add trim to entire garage
14) Add alarm to garage man door
15) Haven’t decided on floor
