Touche......... Putting the PolyIso foam board over all of the framing should help manage any air leaks inside of the building. Just need to decide which product will work the best for my climate.

Gotcha, so which side would I put the facing of the insulation? Is it going to conflict with the PolyIso board over all of the framing and trap moisture in? I have heard negative reviews about a vapor barrier here in Tennessee so, I am thinking that I am going to pass on that.

Holy $50 bucks for a 4' section of that Roxul Comfortbatt......... That will end up running around 10K for the size building that I have. At least that is what Lowes.com has the price listed as. The more I think about it, I may just consider using the standard Owens Corning faced R-19 between...

That is the exact plan for my ceiling as well, however everything is done is stages. The walls are the first issue. So all in all, the best way to tackle this will be to actually put some batts in between the studs and then fix and tape the seams of the GAF PolyIso over all of the framing and...

Gents, so i am at the point whilst waiting for concrete that I need to get cracking on insulation, in order to start sheathing before it gets too cold here in TN. I have been kicking around a few ideas for insulation, I don't need it to hold heat in like my house, however I would like a little...

Any thoughts on sheathing? I had my heart set on rough sawn planks on the walls, but based on the price, I'm thinking more plywood now. I would really like the look of real wood in there but based on the amount I can spend, I'm flexible. I'm not as concerned about lights as I scored 20 4'...

Tack on another grand for that. Had to bring in a traxcavator in order to move earth and compact at the same time.

I am thinking about it. I don't plan on a lift as of now, however I am sure the few bucks that it will take to set the piers will be minimal, so I may go ahead and do it. i would say one of the biggest things that attracts me to spray foam is that it adds strength to the metal. However your...

Gents, it has been a long time coming, but the shell of the building is finally up! I wanted to try and tackle this myself, however with my schedule it has just been too much to handle, so I found a builder in the area who has previously done some spectacular work and went with him. Basically...

I ordered $250 worth of gift cards, but after reading the fine print........it doesn't say anything about getting one for EVERY $50 you spend. I remember a discount on "qualifying purchases" that was given quite a while ago when for every XXXXX amount you spent, I guess I assumed that this was...

Worked for me. Free $50 to use for the holidays unless something doesn't work out correctly.

Man, That looks choice. I am going to get cracking on something similar as soon as I get home. I have been toying with the idea of adding the lean to as you did in the front. How much more did that set you back in terms of price? I can't imagine it was terrible, but just wanted to hear it from...

Yeah, it seems like it. I might have to go a touch smaller on mine, maybe something to the tune of 24' x 32'. Nice to know what you spent, as I would like to have mine look more like a garage versus a barn as well.

Great looking building. I am still going back and forth on a stick built versus pole barn style building. Are you planning on doing any finish work on the inside or just leaving it bare?

Looking good! I am really digging the attic trusses. Great place to store all of the extras! Or the mother in law........

Yeah, I am going to try and keep it between 2/12 or 3/12. I won't go any wider than that. We don't have a great deal of snow here in TN, so shouldn't be an issue. I have considered possibly adding a proper addition to the front of the shed to make the shed longer, and then adding a gable end on...

Gents, I am looking to make some improvements to my shed and add some outdoor storage in the interest of reclaiming my garage from clutter and what not. I currently have a 12' x 16' shed outside that is built on posts on a small grade. The shed flows with the gravel driveway, so it is good to...

Just out of curiosity, what did you use to design your cabinet layout? I am going to turn half of my garage into a shop, and would like to lay things out on paper prior to replacing everything once I finish the walls and add a ceiling.

Thanks for the advice guys. I wish I had the tools to do said things here in Afghanistan, however I have to make do with what I have and being that I am in the middle of no where......... It's not much. I am pretty much limited to what comes in the box and a basic set of gauges. Anywho, I am...
