lilscorpion - Where do you buy your plastic material? (The Starboard and HDPE) Thanks!

Thanks for the info everyone! I ended up going with the Behr stuff that the gal at Home Depot recommended. I got the top 2/3rds done, two coats Friday night and hoping to get the bottom 1/3 done today. Having troubles with my laser level, so we'll see how much gets accomplished.

Getting ready to pick up paint and get paint started in my shop. I sheeted it with 1/2" OSB, finished side is the smooth side of the OSB. I have two coats of Kilz Oil-Based Primer applied. Looking at paint options... My Dad did similar in his shop. He used an oil-based Gloss White Barn...

Just bringing this back to the top...I lost the thread and couldn't find it.

Thanks for the info... I already have a bunch of 8d nails bought, but if the 6d made more sense, they're unopened boxes, so I could exchange them. I'll probably stick with the 8d route...

I guess I'm just asking am I better off using 8d nails that punch thru my 2x4 blocking or 6d nails that don't punch thru? Will a smaller nail that is full embedded in the blocking hold more than on that goes all the way thru? Probably over thinking it and doesn't matter either way...

So I'm hoping to start sheeting the interior walls of my shop with 1/2" OSB soon. It's a 32x64 pole barn building, I have a divider wall, so I have a 32x32 shop and the other side is cold storage. My divider wall is a 2x6 stud wall and I have that wall all ready sheeted. The other three walls...

It's been a while since I first posted my question. I have not had time to do anymore electrical work that requires conduit. But I'm sure I'll be a back to reference this post when I get back to it. Thanks again for all the comments and suggestions. mod600

This the trim they used in my shop... I've got steel on the ceiling and am sheeting the walls with OSB. http://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/pole-barn-post-frame-materials/post-frame-building-trims/12-colored-steel-j-trim-with-frieze-large/p-2031460-c-5720.htm

That doesn't answer my question...I don't have the Robertson bits either...

I'm looking at the Milwaukee ECX screwdrivers. They have a #1 and a #2. I'm assuming the #1 is smaller and probably sized for the screws on outlets and switches and a #2 is larger, and size for the screws on breakers and screws in a service panel. Am I right in my assumption? I have not seen...

Which model do you use? 30700 30701 30711 30712

JakeKohl, What did you use for spacing width and lengthwise of your threaded rod?

I ended up buying new doors...the old one will be turned into bench tops at some point..

Got the heater all mounted. It worked pretty much as planned. Got it vented, wired, gas line plumbed and thermostat hooked up. Fired it up and she lit right up. I was very surprised at how quiet it runs. No rattling or vibration at all...hardly knew it was running.
