Nice!
One of these days I'd like to finish priming and painting the 2-car attached garage. It's sheetrocked and taped.
The 3-car detached I can't even imagine insulating and sheetrocking, although it would make it easier to heat in the winter! I hardly ever work out there when it's really cold, but if it is, and I need to, I run a fan-forced kerosene heater. Makes it bearable.

I am about to start a 24x24 addition to mine to set my dyno in, think I am gonna use those ICF(insulated concrete forms) since they have really good noise insulation values. Just waiting for the M'fing snow to leave so I can finish excavating and lay out the concrete work...
I hate drywalling and taping, worst job ever...I think I will cheat and just use masking tape on the joints and paint over it.
I need more lights, you simply can't have enough light in a garage if you intend to work in it.
Here its common to put plywood on the walls for the first couple of feet, paint it and silicone it to the floor so if you need to hose it out the wall doesn't get ruined, drywall and water just makes mold..

nice thing about plywood is that you can mount anything to it anywhere
when doing lighting or any improvement project check your local power company rebate programs, I got a really nice rebate for using energy efficient lighting.
