I've made some improvements to my garage

These seals, insulated garage door and walls, and plenty of snow on the roof (and 3 oil-filled electric radiators) kept my detached garage above freezing during that week in the Chi when temps were in the -20s.

I'll have to see if I can find some of that stuff. Thanks for the tip.

Installed the pegboard today. Still have to cut some holes for the receptacles and install extenders on the boxes.
Thinking about taking the pegboard down, rewiring receptacles so they are under cabinets above bench, and reinstalling pegboard. But the carpenter doesn't like the idea of taking the pegboard down.

Made a LOT of progress on cleaning up. Found some tools that I hadn't seen in a while.

Got up in the attic and there is zero insulation up there.

Going to look into renting a cellulose blower.
