Bruce,

I've never heard or seen 2 x 6" stud walls before, from what you note regarding the bungalow its common practice in Canada.

Re Mike Holmes goes I can understand that but regardless of the budget there is a right way and a wrong way to do "stuff." I have
seen some high dollar renos that were done wrong. The one that comes to mind is a house that was infested with termites and one of
the main walls were built on dirt - no foundation.

The Mike's Garage is a business any you can't compare it to Murray's home! ;-)

Jay Leno is a MULTI MILLIONARE and can afford whatever he wants; however, a lot of the cars he has are investments that will
appreciate over time so his "hobby" is a business kinda - sorta too.

Regards,
Rob M.

Yes they are 2x6, and my bungalow home was the same when it was built.. 2x4 on inner walls. More insulation in the outer walls I'm
guessing...its -15 here right now.

A lot of my builder clients are not big Mike Holmes fans. He takes a botched up skinny budget reno and redoes it with unlimited
budget.

Maybe I'll get lucky and Mike will come finish my garage for me...
"This is no good.. it all has to come down!"

And he will build me something a bit more suitable.. like this guy's garage....

(you have to go through a few pages so see what it becomes... he must have deep pockets like Jay Leno)
