Smile Garage Insulation from main attic
I cannot find the thread concerning this from a month or do ago. I have a lantana. Basically, is it worth the trouble to put up a fake 'wall' between the garage attic and the main home attic to keep heat from exchanging?

I am considering using foil sided 1/2 thick insulating blankets as an easily removable wall between the garage attic and the main home,. The main home has a ton of blown in insulation.

So, if I put up a fake wall there, and also staple the foil insulation onto the roof rafter to deflect heat outwards and keep cooler inside, will I accomplish anything? I have a brand new roof and I'd hate to kill it early because of heat as well.

All, I really want to do is keep the garage and the area over the garage cooler so that I don't destroy anything stored up there.

The other option is a split in the garage, but that means building permit, etc, etc...

Ideas?
