12/15/2020 Here are the finished shots of: Shop air install, drywall (27") and OSB (4x8 full sheets) I only did 27" of drywall on the walls to leave me with a uncut full sheet of OSB 1/2 on the walls. This will allow me to mount more things without searching for studs and I just feel it will be...

Shop Air. I spent some time trying to figure out what air system to go with in the shop. I looked at PVC (cheapest) and I decided not to. This was mainly due to the controversy of a burst pipe due to heat. Right or wrong I chose against it. Then I looked into steel pipe (most used) this was a...
