Spring is here! And with the end of the long, cold winter comes the excitement to finally reclaim the areas of your home that have simply been left alone in exchange for a warm spot near the fireplace.
With spring comes the annual ritual of spring cleaning. When it’s time to start this activity, you are going to want to make sure that you are not ignoring your garage.

Here are a few tips to make sure that will never happen to you!

He then added insulation to the rooms’ walls and ceiling in order for the garage to be up to code.
