So I got inspired by the garage build post by "ceo and a bunch of numbers" and figured I would post my own experiences rebuilding my garage. Maybe it will inspire others here. I will post this a bit at a time since I doubt I will get it all up in one shot. The garage is not done yet, but I'll try to bring you up to speed.
Also, if anyone has or knows someone with a steel, insulated 10 or 11 foot windowless garage door that is 7ft high I'm trying to find one free or cheap to replace the door I have on the garage.
My wife and I bought our house not too long ago and it came with a lovely little detached two car garage. The only minor problem was that the roof had been hacked to hell on the sides, the front was caving out, the door on the side was rotted and falling off, the window on the side with the door was missing and had been replaced with a piece of Styrofoam and the other window fell out whenever you opened it. But hey, it was a garage.... it was also a garage full of crap from the previous owner... so I moved our 68 ElCamino SS into the garage, put all my junk into it from moving and proceeded to dream about the day that the garage would be worth using.... Took me about a year to actually get to it.
When I started the garage looked something like this (I don't have the actual original photos as I lost them) but think of the fallen down bastard child of these pictures:
