Nice clean slate to work with. I started to drool over the gun safe until I realized it was a room safe, lol. Would love to see interior pics? Nice track stang. Will be watching for updates on this as once my garage/man cave is ready, I'll be working on my flood salvage Shelby GT project car...

Ceiling steel is now complete:

I went with forced air furnace. Found a brand new 85k unit at repocast for ~$400. Generic no frills unit (perfect for garage/man cave). Lucked out on ductwork via a killer craigslist add (along with insulation, lights, and some electrical components). Only had to buy the plenums. For Air, I...

schwa184, I too had Tyvek wrap put on before steel panels too keep air infiltration down. While it may be a mute point on your build due to how you solved the soffit baffle, have a look at durovent. for ~$1 per, this was a quick and easy solution that I used. Here's a pic of my setup used...

Next up is the installation of 2-5' unistruts (a pair of 8' 2x4's laid on top of truss bottom cords was used to attach the 1/2' threaded rods). These are in place for my Fall activities of deer hunting. One unistrut is for an electric hoist and the other will have some eye bolts installed to...

Repeat of other walls (insulation, vapor barrier, OSB, and paint)

Then onto the West and final wall for insulation and OSB install. It was time to stop procrastinating the electrical termination in the panel!

More updates: It was time to add more cement with an 8 foot addition to the front apron and a sidewalk on North side of building to connect entry door with apron:

And then North Wall: Just finished applying first coat of paint today.

Then it was time for trial of Bay lighting:

Up next, time for insulation, vapor barrier, and OSB on upper portion of South Wall. Then apply Kilz and paint.

Next it was time to finish the room. Insulation, vapor barrier, then plywood. Once plywood was up, 3 coats of kilz was applied, followed by 3 coats of paint.
