I'm so excited. The garage looks great and the insulation should make a big difference in the living room and kitchen. Only bad thing is the garage door opener will open but not close with the control - may have to pay to get it fixed - my contractor is my neighbor. He also put new filter stuff in the swamp cooler so I'm set to start summer.
I also got 2 days of overtime which translated to $450 dollars which will go towards tiling the bedroom and bathroom.
And so far I can take one pack of insulation back to Home Depot for a refund.
I saved $800 last year in utilities from insulating the attic. I put that money toward the garage project. So far I've spent $170 on insulation, $560 on drywall work and $300 on the installation of the insulation and the work on the swamp cooler - So really my out of pocket expense so far is $230.
And the dogs only ran away 6 times while they were doing the work. The little stinkers.
My Garage is insulated and has drywall!!!

Its because the house was old and had absolutely no insulation and because i live in the desert and in June, July, August and September we get from 110 to 125 degrees heat. A/C is very important to daily survival for me.
Take care.
