Mine is a work in progress. The shop attachment is insulated and sheet-rocked quite nicely - heated by a wood stove it makes for a MOST excellent Sunday afternoon when the snow falls.

The garage portion not so much. Basically bare studs/joists overhead.

I do have plans for continuation though. I recently removed a "used" hot air furnace from a house in Rye, NH that is being remodelled (aren't they all?) which was bought including oil tank/house full of duct for $150. 6 year old furnace. I think I stole it even though I was about a full day removing the equipment. (sweat-equity?)

But I have yet to insulate the garage.

The nearby farm I worked at for a while had their shop/garage "plywooded" inside on the walls and sheet-rocked on the ceiling. Thus one can attach easier to the walls. For me I don't think this will fly for "occupied" (read insured) dwellings - but as the garage/barn is considered an unattached outbuilding, I think this is considered acceptable?

As I say - a project in waiting...
