Outside of Chicago
I am putting in a furnace that will heat it in the winter.
The ceiling will be insulated and drywall also.

I have been tearing out the old paneling and insulation from my garage
(built in the 1940's)
This is a red brick with 1/2 tongue and grove and 2x4 framing.
This is a detached type - no living space.
I was planning on typical vapor barrier type insulation.
Should I also plan on plastic or anything else before I hang drywall?
Or just staple the insulation between the studs?

also, where are you located?


Proposed use & frequency thereof? Year 'round use?


Does the garage have a ceiling or does one look up and see the
underside of the roof?

i would finish framing and have it sprayed with expanding foam R6 or
R7 per inch, seals cracks etc.

will this be a living space or still a garage? if living upgrade
wiring while walls are open


This is just a garage, not living space.
