The whole project took a weekend and cost less than $300.00 Measured the before and after temperatures and it was a consistent 15-20 degree drop. So good result based on the time and $$ investment.

So, you basically cut off access to the rest of the attic with the foil, which kept the heat from that part of the attic from coming into the attic space above the garage?
Does that sound right? The 2" insulation on the garage door - is that those 4 x 8 sheets they sell at Lowes/HD ?
