I recently added a wall to my garage to create an office for running this blog. 

It’s perfect. I can stream the video footage right to my PC, but my computer and other sensitive equipment is kept safely away from the dust and the grime. 

During the building project I was struck by how many options there were. Did I want regular sheetrock, or fire-rated sheetrock? Did I really need a fire-rated door since there was already a fire-rated door between my new office and the laundry area? 

I love these projects because it gives me a reason to call my buddies and talk through the different solutions. 

Sometimes they even come over to lend a hand. 

And then I blog about the entire process, here. 

This is where I keep articles that addresses these questions.
