Why Finish the Garage?
I mean, seriously, why? I can understand if you live somewhere that has really cold winters, you spend a lot of time out there, and want to insulate the walls, but this is North Carolina. And not only did they finish the garage walls on our new house, they painted them, making it virtually impossible to locate the studs without buying a stud finder.
My house in Washington has a finished garage, but it's not painted, meaning you can see the drywall nails and find the studs.
All I want to do is put up some hooks to hold my ladders, hang my bike, extension cords, etc. It shouldn't be this tough.
Oh, and finishing also means you can't use the rafters for storage like you can with unfinished, open rafters. Given the amount of stuff most of us have out in the garage, we need all the storage space we can get.
