Thank you and I'm super stoked to hear you were able to gather some ideas from stopping by - I, too, have gathered a tremendous amount of ideas, simply by checking on this forum. I have some odds and ends left of drywall that I'll fill in the bigger gaps with and go from there. Finally got the...

Pictures may be deceiving - I actually have about a 3.5" gap in some area. This garage was a mess; to my understanding, it was once a smaller shed, cut down the middle where a section was then added. Finally, it was turned into a dwelling with 2 rooms and an open area where it would be...

Thanks for the suggestion, Miller - I've been mowing this one over but since it adheres to the wall, I'm unsure how it'll do with the spacing under the sheetrock: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFCRKTJH/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I guess, I would have to fill in that 1/2" gap so it had something to...

Decided on a paint, narrowed it down and went with "English Castle" from Clark and Kingston brand from the local ACE hardware store - $40 bucks a gallon (bought 2) but received 25% off one due to a misprint in their ad. 2 coats with about a half gallon left for touch ups: 20221213_172917 by...

It seems I completely forgot to take pics of the mudding process lol it was a PITA and a learning experience. I do feel that I improved as I went along but the west wall really shows my amateur skill level. Initially, I wasn't "wetting" the tape enough so it bubbled. I was under the impression...

The top was a challenge in itself - shorter on one end than the other and so forth. In hindsight, it would have been ideal to start from the middle and work out but being so out of whack, it was bound to be a headache for a noob like myself. Anyhow, brother came over and lent a hand to finish...

Started putting up some drywall yesterday after work - to no surprise, nothing is square, spacing is horrid but it's coming together. Keeping the drywall level as possible and the gaps from top and bottom are evident. I'm sure it could have been done much better, but eager to do the best I can...

Shifting gears into the garage, finally. The majority of the junk was stuffed into the shed - things that had wheels, I rolled out the morning of insulation day: 20221128_074025 by Sergio Zapien, on Flickr Cleared out and ready for insulation: 20221128_074020 by Sergio Zapien, on Flickr...

Mostly insulated but after doing the rafters myself, I decided to get a bid for the garage as I do not want to deal with that headache. In the meantime, I'm trying to get a little organized and added an extra shelf above the tool/workbench-to-be area. More than likely do the same to the opposite...

Things are simply dragging - just not enough hours in a day to properly execute. 2022-11-10_09-06-05 by Sergio Zapien, on Flickr Already filled with clutter...mostly done with insulation with the exception of the doors and the rafter areas. Lights with a few outlets were added...

Got a little more work done on Saturday - still have loads to do but it's coming along. 20220423_180813 by Sergio Zapien, on Flickr Still have to do the doors, trimming and metal roofing. (plus insulate and add a few outlets) 20220423_180833 by Sergio Zapien, on Flickr Gonna have to move...

We've had some absurd weather patterns here in the NW - we got about 4" of snow yesterday which is unheard of into mid-April; meaning I haven't been able to do anything else on the shed as of late. Anyhow, I did finally get the garage wired up a few years back - 6 fixtures total in the middle...

Got a few hours in yesterday afternoon - won't be able to do much till next week but we'll keep at it. 20220406_174816 by Sergio Zapien, on Flickr

Man, I can't believe it's been almost 7 years since I've updated here...tons has happened but unfortunately, most of it outside the garage. I hope to change that in the coming months and one of the 1st things I HAVE to do to make that a reality, was begin a storage shed build. Decided on a...

1st and foremost - excellent work thus far! Follow up; this may be a silly question, however; any reason why you wouldn't insulate along the rafters? I'm debating if this is a good route as I like the exposed look once painted blk but still leaving room/idea of utilizing the spacer for holiday...

Started doing some wrk a few hours after work and got some things done :o My brother lent me his spare yet BRAND NEW DeWalt Miter Saw and I started on the shelves (not done yet) along with putting up the rest of the post with the exception of one post which will allow me to finish the rest of...

I sent you a PM! :thumbup:

Awesome! Nice touch!

That's awesome! Hard works pays off!

Time for a minor update--haven't been able to do much, like usual; too much to do and not enough time or energy to tackle all of it. Anyhow, finished off the fence by the garage: And I also got the front one up--had my cousin come help me all day lol: With the side of the house...
