That turned out real nice! I was planning on caulking my joints between boards too. Ive had about an equal amount of people tell me to use oil as I have waterbased primer. What brand did you go with?

Hi all, Im finally getting around to finnishing my 2 car garage. It has osb walls and one drywalled wall and the ceiling is drywall. I know oil paint and primer is probably better for OSB but is there a primer and paint that will work well with both drywall and OSB ? Im planning on semi gloss...

I'm not a pro painter by any means so I appreciate your advice any everyone else's. Looks like I need to decide between BM and SW. I saw some Dutch Boy trim paint but I'm not going to even mess with it.

Thanks everyone. These are the type of responses I was looking for. $90 dollar range is more than I want to spend. I'll have to look for sales. I've used the glidden diamond paint for a bedroom before and was actually impressed on the usability and coverage for a cheaper paint. All the trim is...

Thanks for the responses. Seems like I am overthinking it. The simpson strong tie should do the trick.

Hi all, First time poster, been lurking for a while. Been really browsing this forum alot because the house I bought a year ago came with an unfinnished attached garage, so I have been looking at ways to insulate/finnish/organize it. Anyways, I have a nice 12x20 shed that I recently resided...
