Detached garage

[Tim Hicks (Texas)]

I see detached garages with no drywall all the time. I see some older homes with attached garages with no drywall. It is not required unless it is a local building code.

You probably DON'T SEE weeks at a time where the temps don't get over 20 degrees or below zero at night.

Here, they're either insulated with drywall or insulated with OSB on the walls. Otherwise, they're about as useful as a large meat locker.

However, code doesn't require finished interior walls except for attached garages on the walls adjacent to living areas, fire code thing. I'd be inclined to make a negative adjustment for an unfinished garage vs. a finished.

Does my detached garage need drywall installed if I want to sell my dwelling. Garage is 35 feet from my house. Please advise

The question defies logic.

What does your local municipal building codes say?

What planet is this?

What he said

My garage has drywall but I don't think there is any insulation behind the wall.

I know this because my toes freeze at night when I pass out smoking a cigar and drinking too much whiskey, even if the space heater is on.

I bought the insulated garage door which sort of helped. Keeping the scuttle cover open to let the smoke out probably does not help.

Interesting factoid; Birkenstock sandals lower piece sole is no longer comprised of that high end rubber like it used to be.

I know this because one day I fell asleep with my sandal facing the space heater and when I woke up the sole had shrunk to literally half the size while the shoe was still on my foot.

This summer we battled mices and they were breeding faster than we could catch them. A hundred thousand glue boxes later, finally conquered the mice.

Turns out laying them flat without forming a box is the winning play. Then you can lay dozens of them in mouse traffic areas and despite their mini mammal olympian capabilities, they still land on the boards somewhere. The fun part is making little mouse sandwiches out of the board while they squeak a lot, and tossing them in the trash.

I thought it was funny when one day my border collie was covered in glue boards. Wife and kids, not so much.
