74flconv...good job....well heres the wrap up...not finished but at least the insulation part is done... this will take a couple of nights to sort through everything....the total was 80' of insulated 2x4 drywalled walls. cost was about $9 per running foot for everything wood, drywall, insulation, glue nails, shelving brackets ....including delivery and tax....

Nice job, I will say though one more day to slap some white paint on those walls and you would be surprised how much brighter the whole place would be!

Great job.

Default Great job!

Hey Bob, Nice job on the garage.
I think I've seen your VETT around town. Looked great from a distance. If you see a white 76 waving at you with a bald guy behind the wheel, that's me. Would love a close up look under the hood if you have time. I'm in the process of new carpets and some interior pieces right now should be done in a couple of weeks.Then I hope to start a few projects under the hood. See you on the road.

LOL Notice I said paint, not tape, its a garage! When doing my garage I debated for quite some time whether or not I want to put the time and effort into tape, compound, sand, coumpound, sand, wash, and paint, or just paint.

I chose the latter, helps keep the wife out!
