I painted one OSB wall with cheap latex. Put it on thick. I had so many bubbles it drove me nuts. The rest of the shop will get a oil based primer. I really dont want to paint it twice. The first time is a huge enough pain.

It should be ok but I would get a good air line dryer for where it comes into the heated shop. I imagine coming from cold to warm it would have some pretty impressive amounts of condensation. And possibly some oil in the compressor that doesnt get to thick in the cold.

I had an issue with my door not opening or closing well. I called a door guy. $75 and I have both my hands because I didnt touch the spring. Those things are super dangerous!!!

Just do a search on this for for MaxJax. There a quite a few threads about it. Also you can get them from Costco for cheaper I think.

Jack, do you ever work in there? That place is always immaculate! Love the hidden hose. I might steal that.

Well the boxes are about 5 feet of where the garage wall will be but there is no way around them. I like the angle idea but it kinda eats up a lot of floor space. I was thinking of the far right side too but i was hoping to make that the wifes parking area. I know this isnt the best way to...
