"Glenn" quickly quoth:

I have a 20X20 detached garage with no insulation (paneled inside .. no

I noticed that when I broke the icicle off my nose as I was leaving
there last week, Glenn.

Wust LOL

Garage door seal kits are $18 at bLowes and a handful of cans of spray
foam would seal up those hollow walls tout de suite, sir. Staple some
pink bats on the roof and you're a lot better off than you were, and
once the shop heats up, it'll stay there after that.

A replacement door is going to be my cure for that. The existing door is 30
years old and was rode hard and put away wet before I got to it. I managed
to get it so it goes up and down and got a lot of the sag out of it but it
is toast. An insulated door will help a bunch. As to the walls and
insulation .. first I have to be able to get to the walls The other
spring project is to extend the garage 16 Ft and move all the metal working
stuff into the new insulated part. Then with the old part cleared out some
I will attack the walls with proper insulation and walls. I have access to
cheap plywood so I will probably go with either 3/4 or 1 1/4" plywood for
the walls. Makes hanging things up nice and I won't knock holes in the
walls if I drop a hammer or sumpin. Then I have an A/C unit from a mobile
home that will go in and be ducted to both sides. The heat is harder for me
to endure than the cold .. I can always put on a shirt if it gets cold

That reminds me that I need to drill holes and fill my own shop wall
(singular) with foam. It's 61F out there now while the rest of the
house is 69F. Also, if you staple a strip of poly over the garage door
hinge segments it'll keep that set of long holes plugged. I glued 2"
foam board in the wooden cutouts of my shop door and it helps.
