Hey guys, question for you all.
I have a brick garage that I'd like to turn into a workshop. I need to insulate it to make it comfortable with Indiana's crazy seasons. What do you guys thing about the idea of my mounting a 2x4 as header, footer and middle, directly to the bricks. Then putting in a sheet of 1 1/2" foam insulation, covered by 7/16" plywood. I'm thinking that this will be a good insulation, but I'm hesitant to drill the walls at the same time. Would it be worth it to just build a stick frame inside the brick walls and insulate that instead, and mount the frames to the ceiling joists and floor?
Thanks Guys,
Deek
