LMAO.... It is my very close uncle's garage. 10 mins from my house. I have been his sidekick for 40+ years. I helped him build it about 4 yrs ago. It is 40x60. 12 ft side walls with cathedral ceiling. Center ceiling height is 20 ft.

Here is the place we built it thru. Best thing about it, no word in the ground like pole barns. http://dandisystems.com/

In the winter, we can wear shorts and t-shirt and be warm. I insulated the heck of it. In summer, it is AC.

He is an old drag racer and helped me on this build. Notice the custom overhead crane attached to the front of the lift? lol

How did u insulate it? Closed cell spray foam? I’ve heard that’s dispose to be really efficient, but I’m just repeating hear-say.

Your truck is really coming along nicely. You got to be getting excited as the work progresses

Closed cell is probably the best, but expensive. I used 3 inch foam board cut to size in walls and ceiling. Then I followed up with normal batting insulation on top of the foam board.

Ceiling thickness is 10-14 inches of insulation and walls are 6 inches of insulation.

Funny you say that. The corner room there is a bath and sink, no shower. Since these pics, a desk with chair, refrigerator, and wifi has been installed. next is big screen tv to accomodate the surround sound. lol
