Re: help with garage to studio conversion ...

great info, and thanks.
my girlfriend is a landscape gardener and she's going to use the
studio as a place to work on her designs when she's not doing it at the
office.
as to heat, i'm not sure yet. i'm thinking propane but am open to
suggestions, if you've got any.
it's not really temporary so i would like to do a pretty good job
with it, given my limited skills. i own the garage, am not worrying
about sound, and would like a pretty good level of comfort.
can i really cover the walls with something like visqueen or
cardboard? there is one interior wall that i'd like to cover with
something better but the two that'll get the insulation from the
unoccupied side, i don't care how they look as long as they're not too
easily punctured.
i am thinking of using fiberglas batts for the ceiling, just laying
them right on top of the attic floor.
as to vents -- along the back wall, where it meets the ceiling, it's
all open there but for the studs or joists of whatever you call em. is
that a soffit? anyway, the opens run from one side to the other. are
you saying i shouldn't block em up? won't the wind come rushing in and
the heat go rushing out?
thanks again!
