No, I didn’t paint over the vapor retarder. Just the wood joist. I live in a townhouse where the homes are attached. For this particular wall, which does not have any water intrusion issues, I cut and stapled sheets of Tyvek between the joists. For the areas that do experience water...

No, after extensive research, I found that the only way to truly prevent water intrusion would be to remove the siding and install a proper vapor barrier. In areas where I noticed water coming through, I removed the torn waxed paper that originally lined the house. It was badly damaged and...

Another update. Ended up installing swisstrax flooring in slate grey. Kinda bummed because the slate grey really darkened the garage. Should have tried their pearl grey instead. but overall, pretty satisfied with the garage now. Doesn't feel as grimy as before.

Hi everyone, I recently saw a photo of a painted open stud garage and I'd like to achieve a similar look with mine. Before starting, I wanted to get some advice to make sure my plan makes sense. 1) Some of the wood studs are very textured and splintered. Would it make sense to skim a thin...
