I got the floor laid down over the holidays. It's turned out pretty well :) We're moving into the house over the next week, got it finished just in time to fill it. Next on the agenda will be organization, cabinets, shelving and decor (the fun bit).

Got to do a little more over the holidays. I managed to get the walls primed and painted. Primed with 2x coats of oil based kilz and painted with one coat of latex. I made a start with the flooring, its going to take a while to get the floor finished. I've had to break apart every tile just...

Yeah, guess I'll have to. It's a pain but I guess it'll get rid of it eventually...

Got the walls finished up, now time for painting. Oh and unfortunately heavy trash didnt take away the old wall board so I'm still stuck with it :( Any ideas how to get rid?

Thanks. It was nice to finally get rid of it, heavy trash are picking it up today, hopefully...

Thank you :) Hoping to finish the walls this weekend

haha yes! Got it in one

The only problem I have there is the panel is already full. I'd need to switch out the panel which is on the to-do list but just not in the budget right now. I could always run conduit and position the 220 externally. I'm planning on using deck screws to put up the OSB so I was thinking I could...

Cool, thanks man. No idea what website I found it on lol

The metal would definitely be my first choice, however, drywall is readily available and I'm not sure where to purchase the metal from. I found one website but have zero experience with them.

So in my haste to get things ready for the garage when I ordered the insulation I assumed that my studs were 16" centers. When I came to put up the insulation I found out that my studs are actually all over the place. Most common spacing is 18.5" centers. I decided to go ahead with the...
