    Galvalume or white metal ceiling?

    I want to do a metal ceiling in my garage. From the pictures I've seen, it looks really good. Only thing I can't decide on is if I want galvalume or white in color. I've heard a few people say the galvalume will eventually show rust spots and gets dull and dirty looking. But I also hear it...

    Hey GJ, I'm a little late on doing a thread but I've been making great progress lately and figured I'd share... It's a 30x40x12 pole barn. My main plan was to have a lift...but as I built I had more ideas, which just adds more money. :lol: First pictures are from last year and earlier this...

    Hey all, I won't get into all the details, but short story, I picked up this lift for a good price due to a buddy moving and needing it gone in a hurry.

    Polyiso Insulation

    I found some reclaimed 1.5" foil faced polyiso insulation for sale. Guy has 40 sheets for $450...looks to be in good shape. Few dings and dents, but looks good. He says it came from an office space he tore down. Assuming it hasn't absorbed any water, is this stuff still good if it's old? And...
