[Greenbuilding] Rehhabing a Garage

[Lynelle Hamilton]

Hi All,

I've a 24x32 foot garage that I hope to rehabilitate. Structure is 
sound, concrete floor and 2x4 construction.  Roof leaks a bit and will 
be replaced with steel, as will the soffit and fascia. As well, the 
insulation is older fibreglass, ceiling and walls and has been wet so 
will also be replaced with Roxul (walls) and loose fill (looking for 
recommendations). I'll reuse the panelling that is currently on it, 
after rewiring.Windows will also be replaced, as will both garage doors. 
I hope to use it as a workshop and possibly living space when I add/reno 
the house.

The exterior is the issue.  It's, gently speaking, crappy board and 
batten....looks like the board could even be plywood. Some batten is 
already off and supports the plywood notion.

My questions: What to do about a drainage plane and insulation on the 
exterior.  My thought is Roxul rigid, then engineered wood of some sort 
(I am on the water), but wanted to pick the brains of the experts here 
first.

What say ye all?

Many thanks!

Lynelle
