Done, done, and done. The entire garage is insulated and drywalled. When we were building the house I asked the builder how much to fully insulate and finish the garage, he said $1200... That's extremely cheap in these parts so I didn't hesitate to sign off on that.

My only regret is not asking for a slightly higher ceiling in the garage. I need to get a structural engineer out to figure out what I need to do to gain a bit of hight in the middle bay, so I can park a car under the 4 post lift.

Umm... You have a 4 post lift??... WTH!!! JEBUS that's nice. If I were to get a 4 post, I would get the one on wheels where you could roll you whole car around.

I don't have it yet, it's next on the list. I need to get the ceiling figured out first. I'm hoping next summer.

I'm looking at one of these,

Four Post Lifts - DirectLift.ca: Residential Automotive Lifts, Motorcycle Lifts and ATV Lifts

Comes with the wheels, ramps, and drip trays. Optional are the hydraulic jacks, which are a must.
