I have a 30X30 Metal building that I finished the inside out with painted sheets of plywood. I'm thinking about finishing out the remaining top section of wall and ceiling. Can some of you give me some suggestions of what to use that would be fairly easy to install and look good? Someone told me...

I did some more looking last night and found where alot of the air/moisture in coming in shop. The rollup door has a rubber seal at top that goes all the way across so when the door is closed it seals. Well after looking the seal is perfect against door about 2 foot out on each side and then has...

Thanks for everyone's input!!! It's funny how some suggest more venting and others suggest no venting at all. LOL!! Please don't take that the wrong way because I don't know and certainly am asking for suggestions. The only place I seem to have noticeable air input is around rollup door...

Nobody else has any suggestions?

I need ideas to help lower the humidity in my shop building. It's a 30X30 metal building on a concrete slab located in south Alabama. The building is insulated very well on all sides and top. It has one walk-in door on side and a big rollup door on end. It's located in my back yard and used to...

Still a work in progress.:thumbup:

Hey guys, I got it figured out and working. The new ethernet run to shop came up on side of my house with no access to ethernet network inside. Lucky me the home builder ran cat5 to access box on outside of house for local land line phone service which I don't have. Well just so happened when...

Here's a few pics of what's been going on with new shop build. It's been really cold for south Alabama so things haven't been going super fast on build. Us southern guys aren't used to being in 20 degree weather. LOL!! :lol:

Here's a few of slab after the pour. It turned out really good.

Thanks for everyone's advise. I installed 2 2" conduits. One for power and another for cable, alarm and any other misc wiring needed. I also installed 1 3/4" pipe for water access. I decided not to install the plumbing for toilet being I would have to go under drive and around to front of house...

I'm building a new 30X30X10 metal garage behind my house within the next 60 days. It will have one 16x8 rollup door and one standard walk thru type door on side. My plans are to put stub up conduits in slab for electrical, cable TV and water. I had no plans for bathroom but my best friend...
