I store my tractors (and my vehicles) in a detached 35x50x15 ft concrete block garage.
I have more than enough heat to cook you on a cold winters day, but with natural gas even, it still costs me between 125-175/month to heat this beast.
I've got a new 250k btu gas heater (80% efficiency). ceiling is insulated with probably R-25 total. nothing on the walls right now insulation wise.
First and foremost- I do not want to add studs to the walls and frame them out.
Now I'm thinking foam insulation board glued to the block. Now I can easily do the upper half of the ceiling, but the bottom half has all the utilities run on it, so it would be much harder to do. I'm figuring I can easily do the top half all the way around in a Saturday. Then I can slowly work on insulating the lower half where I can as time allows. I may have to leave certain sections empty as there would be too many utilities.
So, if before winter I can only get the top half of the garage done, will I still see benefits? Or I am wasting my time if I leave the bottom open for now?
