Stopped by the house today - and there were a series of contractors there performing the painting of the interior. But anyways, as I stated before, almost every contractor that works on my new house, sees the garage, and first they say/ask when I meet them is... "so... I hear you're into cars..." or "so... what are you putting in there?!?!?!". Today it was "I heard you detail cars". I'm like yep yep... I do. He said he loved the idea of the vertical wall lights for detailing and he wished he did the same.
I guess I know I'm doing something right

And then you told them you're gonna park a Prius in there and they all died laughing.
Why did you leave out the best part of the story?

Not to hijack the thread but for about 10 years, my uncle's garage consisted of a Toyota Prius, a BMW 740iL and a Ferrari 360 Modena. Today, it's a Subaru Outback, Volvo V40 and the Ferrari.

Gabe, the part I left out was when I DID tell them about the Prius, they were like... oh WOW. I can understand why you need this garage then. Those cars are SO cool.
p.s. my wife told me to say type that - she loves her Prius

That's awesome Burton!! The excitement must be building. (no pun intended.)
Car looks dynamite bro. I meant to ask you, what rear spoiler are you sporting there?

Today at the house, they are installing our granite countertops!!! I joked with my wife - should we have gotten some for the garage, as my work bench top?

Yes,...you definitely need granite tops for the garage as well.

Looking good! And Marilyn is looking my-tee-fine there too!
Stay with the GT500 spoiler, it looks fantastic on her.
But hey watch out for those miscellaneous nails laying around out there. Hope your contractor has a very good cleanup guy. Hate to injure a paw...
Very nice Burton, love seeing your updates. I am sure move-in day can't get here quick enough.

One thing that I WOULD like to put in some day, is an AC. I should have done that from the get go. Then I'm covered for hot AND cold weather

Thanks for the props, Shane. Appreciate it.

Get one of those A/C units that are mobile with the wheels. Problem solved.

I do know that I can still put in a wall mount unit... they'll just have to cut through the wall, siding, etc. then build a support up top and around the sides and bottom. Still, I wonder if a wall unit can support 1300 sq ft.

I have 1,000sq ft and tried it and it was a big failure
A mini split system would be best

Just do it, it will be 'extra' awesome then, I'm very envious and following your progress with great interest.

I'm also not even sure of the capacity of a wall mount unit. Can those handle the 1300 sq ft?
This will be a working thread - like a mod thread, but instead of the car being "modded", the garage will be modded.
lol

A mini split puts the condenser outside like a traditional central AC unit. And there is a wall unit that doesn't vent to outside. It's remote controllable and can cool a room or large room. They are higher efficient than a window unit, like 24 SEER usually. They are pricier though. Usually about $2,400 around here but they have higher tonnage too.

I have the icynene foam insulation in my garage. It's about 1000-1100 sq ft with 9' ceiling on two stalls and 16' on the lift stall. Insulated garage doors of course and I run a 1/2 ton wall unit and it works great even in south Texas heat. I do have it previews for a mini split though but have never felt the need for it other than it's a cleaner install than a window unit. After 6 years I am on my second window unit.

Add to the $2400 the cost of the install too, plus material (siding, wood, etc.). I'm looking at probably $3500.
