garage wall

we decided to install pegboard instead of gyp board. it will be easy and faster. for ceiling we rented drywall lift. 

after whole weekend of work we finally finished ceiling, south and west wall. we still need to install shelves next weekend. we hope garage will be done next weekend.

garage insulation

we decided to start new project. we would like to finish and insulate our unfinished garage. we must do it by individual walls because we don't have space where to store all things.

we started with west wall and we used R13 insulation

and after a couple of hours one wall is insulated

insulation done

enclosure finishing

from now on, i am going to quite improvise. i am going for glossy white finish. i could have it professionally done at any body shop but the price is quite outrageous and this is diy project anyways. i did some research online to see how people are tacking this kind of project. i could rent spray gun and attempt to do it same way as it would be done in body shop. this however would still cost too much for renting equipment and material itself. so, i am going to use what is relatively cheap and readily available.

step 1:
i purchased BIN, shellac based wood primer, at Home Depot. it is supposed to seal porosity and have good cover ability. i did two coats today.

followed with speckling and sanding with 220 grit, than another round of 2 coats of primer and speckling.
after everything sanded smooth i did 2 coats of krylon white gloss.

than i wet sanded with 1500 grit. circular, horizontal, vertical, diagonal.  lots of elbow grease used.

finally i waxed and buffed the surface to the shine i am happy with.
