Here's the garage door. You'll note the top of the wall not finished... damn supra in the way! LOL







Stuff was like 150.00 shipped. Pretty easy to do also. Got it from texasgarages.com. Mostly used to keep heat out in the summer, but works both ways. Nice sound dampner too.

Looks nice!



Honestly, how hard is it to drywall? I've tiled and painted and all that stuff, but I've never drywalled anything, it always looked like a huge PITA to me.

Actually, it's fairly easy. This was my first time and I think it turned out pretty well. The actual 'finishing' is a little time consuming if you want it to look good painted. Takes a little practice to get the mud in the seems perfect, but it was fun learning. And of course, drinking the beer.

I've helped friends hang drywall. You can cover a lot of wall and ceiling pretty quickly. The finishing is something of an art, but any schlub can do it with a little time.



The garage looks nice. I need to find the time to get to work on mine.

Thanks for the kind comments fellas!



Hopefully in the very near future, I'll be doing black/white checkers on the floor in VCT tile. It's .58 a square foot at Home Depot!
