My plan to renovate the garage is moving slow but sure. I have only one day a week to devote to it, but it's just as well since I'm buying a little material here and there instead buying it on credit. I've built porches and have done room by room renovations before, but it's been a few years since I've tried a pretty large project and I've gotten a little "sticker shock" at the price of building materials.
Instead of sheet rock that tends to get dinged up over the years, I decided to use 4 x 8 sheets of exterior siding. They are real proud of it at $28.00 + each. :BH But I suppose since I don't have a load of time each week to work on it, it's just as well that I pick up one or two, here and there.
I've also determined that staining the conrete is going to be the way to go. I don't trust the paint that much and it's more expensive. I also believe I would experience "tire lift" down the road. The high quality snap together tiles look great, but they are the absolute most expensive way to go.
At least the furnace room is about done...
