Any plans for insulating/drywall?
Cheers!

...perhaps. To be honest, I like the "woody" look, as it looks more like a barn (which there are MANY of around here). At the same time, who can deny the value of insulation?

I like the looks of the very finished looking garages I see in books (epoxied floors, special lighting, etc.), but don't mind mine at all.

A compromise might be to build a large barn with half of it looking like the "fantasy" garages I mentioned above, and the other half still very utilitarian.

I guess (with regard to my current garage), a deciding factor might be if we ended up using some of the upstairs (half?) for another, non-automotive purpose (exercise room, workshop for my clock repairs, etc.). In that case finishing at least part of the upstairs would be likely. The walls up there are currently T-111 barn board.

I would also like a woodworking shop, so another building may be in my future. Who knows?! I'm going to be here for a long time!

In the pic the floor looks halfway decent it isn't really), but when I got it there was at least 1" of caked on grease and dirt on the floor. There are oil stains even 20-30 feet up the walls. I've been cleaning it for nearly two years and it still has a long way to go.

I am jealous!
