Just another update on garage build progress.

Hi,

Today I managed to start insulating the roof.

Foil room, lol.






It's going to be warm!

Going to get one of those rubber seal things before it's finished.

Yer, have spent a bit! Worth it though, you would not beleave how cold it was two winters ago when my Celica GT four was off the road. So this winter it should be spot on!

I will get the car started soon. Lol.

What he said ^^^


Last winter I insulated my garage and sealed all the gaps. I ended up with a marginally warmer garage with 5 times the damp and condensation. Make sure you have a decent movement of air through the garage.

Morning all,

How do you mean vent it?

There will be a cavity in the roof space, will this be ok? There is not a cavity in the Walls, the battens are directly on the Walls and then the polystyrene and foil.

I have sealed the ends up really well, do you suggest I have a vent into the roof space? Suggestions on how would be appreciated. I don't want a sweaty garage......

Rob
