Doors and windows at rear involve step up to the garage door level, not impossible but not ideal for removals.

However I suppose a door can be accommodated into the temporary wall in front of the garage doors.

I think Nibbo's best solution would be to fix a 'temporary' (ie. it could be removed for future occupants) a temporary stud wall in place covering one of the garage doors. You could then insulate this and stop some of the drafts in the winter. :wink:

I can't imagine you'd be happy lugging tonnes of sawn timber through the house, which is why I think regular access through one of those doors is still very important. Also, if he wants to add any more machinery (as if there was actually something he hasn't already got!! ).

um not sure i'm understanding you there , are you placing new wall on exterior or interior of garage doors :?:

 

[devonwoody]

Silly me, I couldnt open the double garage door could I if there is a wall in the way.

hi devonwoody

hee hee oops, never mind we all make um 8) front wall of garage with either two single doors or a double door, the block work either side, is there enough room to place a single 30" or 33" door and frame :?: .hc

 

[devonwoody]

No.

hi devonwoody

well that only leaves either the rear entrance , or a new entrance to one of the side wall relatively close to the front wall mainly for ease of entry/exit of things like possible bulk/long timber sizes being delivered , or delivery of new machinery , and of course exit of old machinery plus you need to be able manoeuvre easily without straining your self and possible injury . good luck. hc

ps just a thought if you can place a new entrance on side wall ,will you still need rear entrance possibly more floor internal space there:?:

 

[devonwoody]

Perhaps I ought to purchase my new bandsaw first, thats the only change that might occur before Kingdom come.

John at your age you should be more selfish, remove the doors block the hole and install a suitable door for your needs (I think Shultzy did a door and a half). If your workshop is unusable in the winter think of the loss in tissue box production :lol: And get that bloody roof insulated too!

Would some sort of curtain on the inside of a garage door have any effect at all on keeping the heat in?

some heat retention, and sound deadening properties to be had I would have thought.
but I find they are only good for lightweight shelves. :lol:

Whats the saying....hat, coat, door
