Thanks for the advice on the days rental. I'm slow, so probably a month's rental for me! Some of this falls under the things I learned. Like, my ribs aren't going to line up with the side walls, I've made my peace with that. But you're right about the ceilings, that would bother me to have...

I was using a drywall lift to get the panels in place and the scaffold to stand on and screw em in. Without the drywall lift, how did you hold the panels in place after loading on the scissor lift? Kneel?

I'm working on finishing the inside of my 48x32 11' ceiling barn. I could write up a long list of all the things I've done wrong... However, I've made good progress. The walls are done. So that just leaves the ceiling. I'm installing purlins every 4' between my trusses (to prevent sag). My...

I've seen this or similar recommendations a lot. Why do people recommend multiple heads/multiple smaller units vs one big one/single output. Is it mainly for better distribution of the air?

Hello! I'm working on finishing my barn and am trying to determine climate control now. It's a 48x32 barn with 11' ceilings in MN. It's pro rib exterior, R30 batt insulation, vapor barrier, and more pro rib on the sides. Installed by me (and I'm far from a pro). The ceiling will be pro rib...

Do you have a picture of your drywall ceiling? If I'm understanding correctly. You're thinking connect the vertical and diagonal track supports directly to the side of the purlin through holes cut in the metal?

I'm working on finishing the inside of my barn. I'm about to get started on the ceiling, using metal pro rib (the same stuff as on the walls in the picture), and noticed my garage door tracks were hung a little weird. They are mounted to a 2x6 laying on TOP of the bottom chord of the trusses...

Do you mean like a wood spacer that's the size of the rib heights?

Back with another question... What are suggestions on how to mount heavier items against metal pro rib? For example, a TV or built on 2x4 shelving. I was originally thinking of just some wood spacers on the girts and tie into that, but saw some threads on unistrut. Im not familiar with how to...

Did you read the thread? Others posted in here as well, world doesn't revolve around you. I took the advice of the people that mentioned in the flat. Those were the helpful people.

I've got the answers I needed. I'll move the outlets to the flats. The keyboard warriors out there can enjoy looking down from their high castles where they think garagejournal of all places is being infiltrated by the participation trophy generation. My goodness.

Constructive criticism could be, "in a perfect world, your electrical would be surface mounted on the metal, given thats not an option, that single sheet of metal is likely scrap, and youll have to either reposition outlets to land in the flat or try to make an expansion work." Constructive...

I mean, I'm not hurt or offended by it. It's just wasting time when I want a helpful answer so I can go back to building. Id argue that if you have time to go on the internet and critique projects without providing a solution, youre the antithesis to the classic working man. That was the advice...

Or, you know, I could just replace it with a different sheet... I'm not looking forward to trying to land between ribs, but seems like I might have to. I'm not looking to become a commercial garage finisher and the barn was already wired up years ago. This isn't a helpful comment. Trying to...

The sarcastic answers here are pretty sad, isn't there something more constructive to offer? Or just move along? I think this is what I will try to do. See if I can move them a few inches to the flats.

Hi all, I'm a total newb, DIY'er here, working on finishing the inside of my barn so I can climate control this thing for the chilly winters and hot summers. Things have been moving along slowly, but steadily. There's a lot of things I guessed at (e.g. how to connect trim pieces). But I'm...
