I'm looking to create a room in my garage to protect my wife's paintings and art from the sawdust generated while I work. Since this space won't be used all the time, I'm thinking about not installing insulation and just putting up drywall on the outside. Any tips or advice on this approach?

To protect those paintings, proper insulation is definitely key. It helps minimize temperature swings that could damage the artwork over time. Even if she usually moves them indoors, having a well insulated room might be a smart choice for preserving them long-term!
If you're going to build a room, you might want to consider insulating it. It really makes a difference in regulating temperature and keeps things more comfortable—especially in the summer. Plus, if you ever want to add HVAC later, it could help save on those energy bills. Your wife's art would thank you for it!
That's true! I often end up adding more to my projects too, which definitely makes them take longer. ?

I see what you mean—thanks for the heads-up on that!
