Just about have all the slat walls put up And it passed the weight test

The bulk of the drywall is now up, all that remains is some small spaces above the garage door. But more importantly I got some cabinets hung. It's nice to finally see some of the finished product starting to take shape. The main base cabinet/work bench used to be a kitchen island or...

Today was a pretty Productive day as I got up a whole wall of Sheet rock. Just have the small sections on either side of the garage door, one piece on the back wall and that'll be it for drywall. don't know how much work well get done this weekend with family coming to visit, but back at...

It's always nice when my car starts on days like today

I started hanging sheet rock on the walls today. As you can see, I went with the 4x10 sheets and am hanging them vertically so I'll have fewer seams to tape and mud. I bought the sheets this morning and of course it has to be the coldest day of the year (-4 air temp, windchill must have...

Things are slowly starting to take shape as I got a couple slat walls up today drywall on the walls will be going up starting tomorrow. I finished insulating the ceiling last weekend and I've noticed a difference in the temp in there. It's been pretty chilly here this week and I'm...

The ceiling is finally done. Took 5 days of working here and there, just myself and a lift. Now it's on to laying poly in the attic space and then putting in the insulation. I figure that'll take me a while as well. I'll also be hanging drywall on the walls fairly soon, possibly this weekend.

Uh oh. Well there is attic space up there and I was going to put in loose fill insulation. Should I put down poly between that and the ceiling?

I managed to get about half the ceiling drywalled this weekend I've learned that hanging it isn't so tough or time consuming, is the measuring, making cuts for outlets and lights and moving stuff out of the way on the floor that takes up most of the time. More reason to get rid more junk I guess

The fun part has begun...hanging drywall on the ceiling! This is actually my first experience hanging drywall, so if you see that I've done anything wrong please feel free to let me know, I won't be offended...or will I? I only had enough time to get this much hung today, 2 kids under the age...

Slat wall panels in Minneapolis http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/fuo/4874039431.html Not sure if there are any left, but when I picked up what I needed there were several pieces left of various sizes. He just wants to get rid of them, so they're very cheap!

Purchased some of the drywall today for the ceiling Also have the drywall lift rented, so my weekend plans are set!

I did come across your thread last week and thought all the slat walls were great, nice work.

I plan to add shelving on the slat wall. I'll be installing that floor-to-ceiling and was thinking of having shelving near the top like in your picture. I believe the slat wall panels are made of MDF. They've got some weight to them.
