Yeah, I looked up mini garage as a joke, and thats what came back. My garage is so messed up, thats what it feel like.

Heres the real deal. Mess and all.

Kind of what I was thinking but I'd like the two to be a part of the same room. You know... Living room and garage all in one.

That looks to be enough room to work on your stang if you move all the stuff and car.

Had 1 quote, over 5k for the shop.

14' interior walls and the ceiling, ugh... I am not ready to spend 5k+ at this point.

thatd be cool, youd need a hefty beam to offset the load the wall carries, maybe open 3/4 for load carry support....

I thought about that... Here's what came to me:

A large, bare metal, cast beam would look right at home there.

Actually I think the sexiest beams are GLB's (glulam beams) where you take a bunch of 2x8's (or another size) and stick them together and then you stain them. PSL (Parallam beams) are nice too. These beams are less expensive than steel and are plenty strong enough for residential contruction 9 times outta ten.

Go to the Lowes or Home Depot on occasion and grab a bale of faced R-13 or whatever and staple it up. It isn't hard and takes 0 time.

It's the ceiling where he's losing all his heat. Out where @GroverDill and I live it's very cold during the winters. Freezing temps and snow from around Nov to March. I'd just pay somebody to insulate the ceiling and sheet rock it and tape it and then you can do the walls yourself over time. At about $15 per 40' roll of R-19 faced pink insulation you could piece it together over time.

What makes your ceiling hard to do is they'll have to get a lift in there to get the job done.

The quote wasnt just for stapled up insulation on the walls. its 2x6 on 24" plus 10' span for the trusses. I am not up for this task, I will farm it out just not right now.
