Boxes are set out 1/2 inch for drywall

The building continues or will once I figure out how best to use this two inch foam board. I picked up a bunch from a warehouse job I visited. I think I have enough to do the entire interior with one layer. I may have a chance to get even more. So my question is how to use this stuff. Some...

Thanks that is good to know

Interesting choice for insulation. I don’t know what R value 2” of spray foam gives but I am assuming it is as much as 6 inches of fiberglass? Was it similar in price? I am sure it was easier that is something to think over. I had not thought about supporting shelves. I did think it would...

Both. North central Pa

Spray foam sounds like an ideal option but I have found the cost for it seems to be about two or three times as expensive as fiberglass insulation. So you insulated up against the roof? How thick is your insulation

I have access to asphalt millings and some at no cost. I have a contractor that owns me some work so he will spread and compact. I have had several loads dropped since they are milling the streets in our neigborhood. Some looks better than others and some are just the street sweepings. It...

So did you put house wrap of some kind under the metal or did you work it in between the posts and horizontal supports. I can see doing this will flashing tape. Probably take a dozen rolls but I can see how you could get an air tight seal. Just wondering how to deal with wanting to us space...

So I have a new pole building up and I am wondering how to build out the interior walls. I have something like 6x8 post every 8 feet with roof trusses every 4 feet. Horizontal perlings every 4 feet up to the 11 foot ceiling. The metal is screwed to the outside of the perlings. I was going to...

Good food for thought. I like the idea of the cage lights for a building like this. They do cast the style light that many exteriors have. They do a nice job of shining light down on the walkway in front of the building with out flooding the entire area. I could see doing four across the...

That is a good point since that is the next step. I am really just looking for lights around or above the garage doors at the moment. I am going to need lights for under the car port area next to the house. I did not want to do the same overhead lights that are in the garage since just as you...

Maybe I can post a photo or two from my phone. While everything else has gotten easier, getting photos from my phone to my computer is an absolute pain in the ***. It used to be very sinple.

So I found these lights on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081CXNVKS/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Sorry if that is not the best way to post a link. Basically they are 7w 3 inch gimbal lights that have a 30 degree beam angle. They suggest spacing of 3.25 ft apart but that does not take into account...

Well this answers the question on what is the best way to get some lights over or around the outside of my garage doors. I have used the wafer lights in the house and after reading all the monkey business guys are going through to get gooseneck lights mounted on the outside of their pole barns...
