I’m with you on the helmet, but for a completely different reason. It’s gross.

Interesting that this bike is currently pulling in an easy NP victory, but with nothing but negative comments here.

A gentleman never tells

I probably could have started by cutting the cracks and cut down on one round of wash and clean. I just wanted the cracks to be clean so I could clearly tell how deep and wide I needed to cut. 

They have heat pump units that go both ways.  The space is pretty small, so that might be an option worth pricing out if you’re planning on beefing up the insulation.

“amateur butcher shop", is this code for the shed your redneck buddy dresses deer in or code for the secluded spot your serial killer friend murders the homeless? 

I was a dork and even I find Elon insufferable.

Every one of those things sold represents a wife or girlfriend who tore off the wrapping paper and said “Are you fucking kidding me?”

Gonna need this image a lot in these comments I think.

^ this is why I don’t get the epoxy coating thing. The garage is concrete, which gives you traction. You spill oil? Okay fine...it’s a garage, who cares. You want to fill the garage 3’ up with water or oil or coolant? Again, it’s a garage, why does it matter?  I kid, but I’d rather not worry s out breaking my skull

Owens Corning 703 or 705 would be boss. Rigid 2" sheets.

Unfortunately traditional insulation is way too thick to work in this garage’s “studs”. The steel sheets have studs that are only about 2" deep. I’ll be using insulation board and running reflectix tape between the seams. I’m not sure what I’ll put over that yet. 

When you insulate check out rockwool bats. It's easy to work with and better than the pink stuff. Only a few bucks more.

We have a storage shed and I built a potting bench for her in the back yard. Luckily we get along quite well. 

The most important part- do not let your wife store her junk in the garage! Don’t give an inch on this one. Build another storage shed if you must but that garage must be reserved for your own stuffs!

I imagine I’ll be getting a nice heater installed come October. Those big tube heaters are great. 

fair enough. I don’t think that employer of mine thought about it, and my experience in shops was on non-sealed floors.

The two things that have made my shop usable year-round: An evaporative cooler and radiant gas tube heaters. It’s an 1800 square-foot steel building with 1970's blown-on insulation. In the summer, it was regularly 120 degrees or more inside. The evaporative cooler keeps it about 15 degrees below outside ambient as

It’s getting a repaint here in the near future, I’ll be sure to add gutters at that time. Thanks!

Home inspector here: your #1 priority now is to manage water away from that garage. The slab cracked because it settled. Slow further settling by installing gutters and re-grading, to preserve that floor for as long as you can.
