Howdy all!
I have an attached 2-car garage that shares 1.5 walls with my house. Due to the large quantity of attached surface area, I think it's worth insulating the garage to keep it a few degrees warmer. The exterior walls are drywalled, but there is no insulation in them, nor in the ceiling (which is also drywall). I have easy access to the ceiling from the attic, and the walls I would either poke holes in and blow in insulation, or tear out to add fiberglass. I don't really want to do that, though.
The garage door (16 foot) is insulated as well.
Worth it? Pros, cons? What about a vapor barrier on the exterior walls and ceiling? Also, the garage attic and house attic share the same airspace...there is no wall in the attic separating them. Should something be done about this?
Thanks
