Yeah, I actually do have a section on one side with a 4x10 sheet of plywood up there and have some boxes stored. I've been thinking of doing the rest but will probably wait out the lumber price hike that's going on right now. The garage is 25x35

I've been thinking about lining my ceiling with something like this,
Reflectix BP24010 Series Foil Insulation

I have seen where people use the full sheet foam, but that gets expensive quick.
I spent a bunch on doing that to my garage door.
It made a huge difference in the winter.

But luckily my house is new enough they drywalled the garage for fire code.
and they used some thick stuff!

My garage walls are drywalled, so I'd have to probably drill a hole at the top between each stud and blow-in insulation. My garage doors are solid wood.

The siding on it is pretty thick, plus has that black fiber stuff under it that's pretty thick also, so at least an inch thick total for both. I don't get that much temp transfer through the walls. I think I'd get the most benefit with doing something with the ceiling, but current OSB/plywood prices would make that a $800-$1000 project.

It was a stroke of luck for me. We were having a lot of stuff shipped in on large skids. Each one with a sheet of 7/16 OSB stapled down. They peeled right up so I took some home every time it showed up. Had to pull staples out but my boy was 4 and loved to help. I put the sheets on saw bucks and pounded the staples back. He sat under and pulled them out with a pliers. Did my 24 by 30 shop for free with Free nails in my free framing nailer. I closed the soffit ends with cardboard stapled on. Shop heats easier and stays cooler.

First drive in a long time for the denali due to picking up a new tow rig and the passenger caliper locks up solid at about 60.

Smoked the rotor and pads after changing them only 1000 miles ago which sucks.


New tow set up for the trailer and dirt bike, trailering the dirt bike and beating up the denali last summer on fire roads needed to stop.

Yeah that shit is like $75 a sheet here right now. You can buy 3/4” cabinet grade plywood for the same price. Stupid resin shortage.

E250? How are you liking it? I should've bought one instead of a Chevy Express!

Friiiiick.
Casually driving down the road on my way to rotate tires and other upgrades/maintenance... Catch this damn container seal straight through the tire.
The hole is way too large to be patched. So now instead of getting another 15 or 20,000 miles out of these tires, one of them is trash and I just spent 1,350 bucks on four new ones. Hopefully they arrive soon since my spare is about 2" shorter than what I have on it now.

On the bright side, I suppose I have three spare tires that match the size once the new ones get mounted.

That sux. I had a large hole in one of my tires, yrs ago, I used 2 plugs in the hole and it was fine. Maybe try that? And some tire slime for good measure? Just an idea....
