Ksullivan, Thanks ...The contractor brought up the actual amount of time I would be spending in the the the garage / work shop as well.(Which would not be for long extended periods of times.)

I forgot to add, I am located in the middle part of Georgia.....

I am building a 20x20 metal building with one garage door and a traditional door, that is going to finished out on the inside with 2x4’s and either 7/16 OSB or either 11/32 plywood, that will then be painted. When the building was built, the contractor put roof insulation, but did not add any to...

That's exactly what I am looking at doing....except my building in not built like yours. So, I am going to wedge the frame between the metal uprights and attach it to the metal. when you say 7/16 bolts, are you talking about a self tapping bolt, or you mean the type you use a nut with? Also...

I am not sure how to attach the 2x4s between the metal frame, so they will be strong enough to support cabinets....That's what I need input on.

I am in the process of finishing out the interior of my garage that is a metal building. I've ran into a problem and not sure what to do...since it's metal building, I only have the structual metal framing that the outside metal is attached to. The structual metal is spaced roughly a little over...

Thank you everyone for your advice and help. If all goes well, tomorrow I will have the floor completed, before moving onto the next item which is electrical.

Yesterday, while I was preparing to etch my floor, I accidently spilled some of the mutric acid directly on the floor while pouring it into the water. The result was an instant yellowish bubbling on spot about 6 inches in diameter. I poured water on it and scrubbed trying to weaken the...

I have thought about just going with the wet look, but I am not sure how dark it will be after the stain is applied.

Does anyone know if there is a acid stain for "natural" concrete that will have the appearance of a light brown or tan color once applied.

Was there any thing "specific" you had to do to the floor? So far, I have washed & scrubbed the floor in a mutric acid wash and then pressure washed it.

I have my shop up and entering the 30 day mark on the concrete. I was going with an epoxy (Either Quik-Crete or Rust-o-leum) but was told the epoxy will not hold up due to the concrete having a smooth finish. So am looking possibly staining and going with a EliteCrete sealer....This is going to...

Thanks, I look forward to the pictures.

Could you please post pictures of the inside....I actually already have the insulated radiant barrier in the roof.

I like the spray foam, I never considered that route...How much was it ?(If you don't mind me asking.) I was thinking about going with the foam insulation board that Lowes sales.... I had thought about going with the lumber or wood stud in between the braces for support. But I'm not really sure...
