    Ok, so what insulation would you guys use on a brick exterior/wood framed garage?

    I plan on drywalling the garage eventually. If I get a wild hair, I might do it sooner rather than later.

    Also, my garage is built more like a shed and the rafter system is more like a bracing system for the walls during building. I think there are like 2 beams that are 2x6s maybe a little bigger but not much. No attic but I do have room to the peak of my garage. The house was built in 1954.

    Insulate it the same as you would your house. After insulating, I sheeted my walls with pegboard instead of drywall. I can hang stuff anywhere, and all over the inside of the garage. Floor space is your #1 concern. Everything that goes in the garage needs a home up and off the floor. I looped the entire garage with shelving that is high enough that I can work underneath it. Make good use of your attic space. If you wont need an item for 6months or better, then that's a great place to put it. I have an 80 gallon upright compressor that I have hanging from the rafters. Pulled it up with a good block and tackle.

    I know very little about R values.

    I will most likely do drywall on the 2 walls (the other side is brick)

    Do you have a pic of your compressor setup?
