Re: Garage Build

Get some siding on it so we don't have to look at the Tyvek install upside down.....

if thats the worst criticism i get, we're doing alright....

the trusses would have met the old building code. they don't go over. new code requires a larger setback from property line to eaves, so yes, I will cut them back. That why I haven't sheeted that side yet. Maybe cut them back tomorrow.

Re: Garage Build

Framing nearly done. Probably a couple hours work left. Will probably get the framing inspection next week. I ordered siding/insulation/drywall/shingles today. Called one paving company, and they never showed up to do the quote, and called another, and never got a call back. The asphalt is pretty much the last big expense.

Anyone have reccomendations for garage insulation? I have an 3 car attached with 2x4 framing (boo). All the bats that I have seen are R-12/14 but I would like to go higher than that.

I may just break down and go with the R-12 since I want to get my benches in place and slot wall.

Thats probably the way to go. Shove bigger stuff in the roof.

Re: Garage Build

Use Ruxal, you can't go wrong. It is fireproof and mildew proof and is actually a bit easier to install.

Re: Garage Build

yea i have a mix of ruxul and pink panther.. the ruxal is so freaking thick its not funny! but worked awesome and very easy to fit.. the pink panther was cheaper tho.. i only bought the ruxal one day when i couldn't get any pink panther in the size/spec i needed

Yah, that is what I am going to end up doing. I talked to the guys at Totem and they told me that was really my only option.

I looked at the Roxul stuff, but I figure since my house extends above the garage it does not make it worth the extra cost. If the garage catches fire, the rest of the house will too.
