Default Garage wall finish?

I don't get it, if I have everything sealed up by chaulking, where is the
problem here???

Please explain.

I've wondered this as well. I want to do it cause I would like to be able
to wash the car in there in the winter. I also thought about using the
drywall that is used in bathrooms, then tape it up really well. Then
paint with good quality semigloss paint. Then line the bottom half of the
wall with thin Pexiglass to resist "most" of the water, sealing the joints
with clear waterproof chaulking.

That should be a good protection against rot.

Anyone see anything wrong with that setup?


Yes. You are inviting moisture problems. How about hosing the car in the
driveway on a sunny day, or at the carwash? Garage is heated so that the
water doesn't freeze? Nothing in the garage that would be bothered by
damp? Probably will stay damp or wet all winter.
