Shingle roof... while building the garage I was remodeling the house so I had to make scarfices. So hopefully I get many years use out of this roof and when its time to be replaced I will do metal. As for summer, im hoping that keeping the doors closed and no windows will keep it cool. Ive got some tower fans that I used in my old garage that kept it cool in the summer, i will see how well they do in this space. if they work well then maybe ill buy a couple of those big ass fans to help cool it. If that doesn't work then I will explore doing some AC.
Its not a competition, im just sharing
See above post LOL
Between me and my friends, we've been using the lift or wash bay almost everyday since ive moved in.
I owned a stripclub which is now a bar.... long story but the city changed the zoning laws to try and shut me down. I feel i should be grandfathered in because when i opened i followed all the current laws, I operated without breaking laws, and I always worked closely with law enforcement. So now im suing the city, i hope we win because I miss the stripclub it was fun. I also have a small power sports business... and I do indoor bathroom ads. If youre form Billings have you seen the bathroom ads above the urinals from Off The Wall? We partnered up with them and share Williston and Bismarck and soon Dickenson.
Shop uses traditional pad insulation, spray foam was out of the question. But recently its been -20 and up too -50 with 40 mph winds and the garage is warm and cozy. When you open the door you get a blast of arctic air but it recovers pretty quickly.
I think im going to do the loft in a grey wood laminate, something a little different and should tie into the garage floor well. The plans for the loft are a small "kitchen" area with a fridge and microwave.... I have a poker table already up there (not setup yet), I will probably set it up tomorrow actually. And put some couches and a TV up there as well. The lounge/loft was an after thought and something I plan on working on over the next year... i may have some "ugly" furinature for now going up there but eventually it will be replaced with nicer stuff as the years go on. Upstairs will be function over form at first. I also use the upstairs to store light items.
Thanks
