The house I just rented has a covered and walled carport as a "garage". I have permission to insulate/sheetrock/wire it to be usable as a winter motorcycle repair facility for my neglected children.

Soil cement looks like a neat idea, but too labor and time intensive for this rental place. For all the work, I'd chip in a few more bucks to just get a real slab. I'll likely leave the car on the ea

Ever hear of polypavement? Check out their site: www.polypavement.com. Go to the "application methods" page and you will see different ways to do this, some without much labor. I have never used this

I'd suggest you put down a vapor barrior. Some really heavy poly with a bit of fine gravel on top to hold it down. Phil Ethier West Side Saint Paul Minnesota USA 1962 Triumph TR4 CT2846L 1979 Caterha

By permeable pavers do you mean those waffle like things with grass growing through them? Most of the ones I see are just dead grass holders. Plan to park there every day? Grass doesn't really like t

That's one variety, but mostly I mean pavers that have a gap designed into the interlock, so water can drain through them. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.

I used these for my driveway and I like them because it makes it possible to park on a lawn. To keep them looking good you need to take good care of the grass. What ruins the look is to leave a car p

There's also a system using hard plastic gratings with about a 2" x 2" spacing, where the vertical slats are rather thin. With these, a smaller percentage of the grass-growing area is covered by the

Fiberglass gratings are used as catwalks and as floor grids to keep feet off of wet floors in chemical plants, etc. Those gratings look as you describe, and are wonderful for stabilizing grass areas

Well, they seem convinced that putting a slab down in the spring is the way to go. So now that the moisture issue will be mostly taken care of, I need to come up with a way to insulate the ceiling. I

What's on the other side of the wall? Could you vent through there? Perhaps I'm naove, but I don't see how unfaced fiberglass batting is going to trap moisture. I'd probably install it anyway, and t
