    1 1/2in slope over what I'm guessing is 20 ft garage? I personally wouldn't worry about it, why do you need it perfectly level?

    I'm curious how was the blow in stuff? I always worried wires and such in the wall might stop it from filling up the cavity below, is it fine enough to not be an issue?

    Looks good so far. Any plans for a sink or hose? I know it's a huge time saver in my room. Keep the updates coming.

    That's also a great idea!! A sink/hose would be great for water changes, misting, etc... That's something to consider for my reptile room when I renovate. The plumber will already be here anyway

    Re: Converting the garage

    No not yet for a sink. The plumbing isn't easy to get to for installing one. Eventually we will

    1.5" makes a huge difference in dealing with freedom breeder and ars racks. I refuse to make things half assed considering how much I've spent already. What's a few hundred extra to fix the floor up right lol! Plus I don't want any waste of space or to hate my room because it's not perfectly as useable as it could be.

    The blown in was fine for our walls. Only had a few spots with wires but we checked down low and it did fill the cavity fully. There are no fire blocks in our walls so didn't have to worry about that. Took a bit to figure out how to get the insulation to go down and not back hence the Jerry rigged tub on the end of the hose. But it worked lol!

    We'll post more pictures in two weeks once I get the floor in

    Didn't think a slope less than a degree would matter. But if it does, heck yeah make it right. It doesn't matter how big your room is you always end up wanting more room it seems, so make sure you can take advantage of every square inch you can. Tub looked like a good idea, I'll have to keep that in mind in case I do a retro fit like that. Nice work.

    I wish installing a sink would be easy. But that's a massive project and we just can't get to it right now. Maybe one day.

    A sink is definitely nice around those animals, to water, to clean, etc.

    What you could do is this..If you have a water hose connection nearby you could run a a long hose along the floor or ceiling and install it to a nice, deep utility sink. I have done that at the horse barn. The hose is nicely tucked along the wall and ceiling and out of the way. If you don't need a super long one, you can even get white colored hoses.

    Just an idea you can play around with. You wouldn't have hot water, but you don't actually need that.

    Re: Converting the garage

    We put a high-arch "bar" faucet on the bathroom sink, then put the necessary adapters on it for a garden hose quick-disconnect. We also got a 50 ft. Coil hose that came with a bracket/rack, so it hangs neatly beside the sink. Final piece is a good trigger spray nozzle. Cost was low, no actual plumbing skills needed.

    Re: Converting the garage

    Thank you. After we used it the first time we asked ourselves why we didn't think of it sooner - we have a similar setup in another bathroom for aquarium water changes.
