JACK M Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Love it when a plan comes together. Funny how it starts to look smaller than it started out. Especially when you start with the benches and shelves and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear will be used for exercise equipment, work area, etc. the original garage is set up as a shop with tools, workbench, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Bigger is always better but I think you did the right thing making the widths the same between the new and the old. If it was wider you eye would catch the different and sense something was wrong but not know what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsmoke Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Nice garage, and so quickly assembled. Interesting framing detail for window, normally the jack studs supporting the lintel are continuous to the floor, thereby eliminating issues of shrinkage as wood seldom shrinks in length. Having the window sill plate as shown bisect the jack stud creates a spot where shrinkage over time may allow jack stud to drop slightly (multiple spikes into main stud will minimize). Not a big deal in a garage, but in a house this method would be a structural no-no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headers and window sills the same size and jack studs the same size as the rough opening . I have been framing for 45 years and do not frame that way but have seen it many times .

Mike "Hubbie" Stearns Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Drywall in a garage that’s attached to the house is ok, but not a working garage. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Shaw Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Painted drywall really brightens the interior and holds insulation in place. It is more fire resistant too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wainscoting, and crown moulding in my garage! A smooth painted wall will make it a bit brighter and easier to hang tools, a workbench etc. Even if you put up osb and paint it. Although at this point drywall is much cheaper. A bit of insulation may even help to keep it cooler, especially if you insulate the ceiling. Not sure how prevalent pole barns are in your area but a product called panel liner would be good for the ceiling. Its white, and easy to install. It is run off the same machine as the barn siding but a thinner gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary_Ash Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Here in New England, insulated walls make it easier to heat the garage, but for fire safety, the insulation can't be left exposed. I hung 1/2-inch OSB using screws. It does make it easy to hang things on the wall. A couple of times when I wanted to change or add wiring, I've been able to unscrew the OSB to get inside the wall. It is recommended to use a fire-retardant paint on the OSB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Dobbin Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Nice looking little storage garage, with small cars, you'll get 4 in there. VW's, Metropolitans. Sprites, Croleys, Etc. Little cars will make the garage feel gigantic. Nice work, enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
