I am looking for some guidance on a garage issue that I have.
The back story is that I have acquired a house that was built in
1978-79 in Alberta, Canada. The house was finished and then the garage was added to the house. I am now rewiring, insulating and adding cabinets to the garage. As I was looking over the garage to frame up the wall that is against the house I realized that in fact I have a 3 walled garage. On the fourth wall against the house the garage is butted up to the house. So I have a stucco wall inside my garage. The roof line and the two walls that butt the house are properly tied in and there are no leaks. My issue is when I frame up the fourth wall (have to run power) should I insulate and if I did what would I do about the vapor barrier ? If I do not have to insulate then I would go with 2 X 4 framing but if I do insulate then I would go with a 2 X 6 frame. I guess my third option would be to run electrical conduit and mount the plugs on the stucco wallAny ideas would be helpful. Just remember that I need to insulate so that I can use the garage for a wood shop.
