almost done with garage ceiling

[pointer80]

I have been installing a ceiling in my barn and it is coming along nicely. I have a little over a row to go and it's done

My neck was hurting it's all better now though

Looking good pointer, I'll bet your neck is hurting too.

lakeroadster, What photo editor did you use? I cannot figure out why when I use my iphone to take pics and put them on my computer they flip them upside down or sideways? They are right side up on my computer? I have been using a panel lift and a set of scaffolding. yes it does get to your neck after awhile.

I just use Microsoft Picture Manager to re-orient the photo's.

So are you planning to prime and paint, or just leave the OSB as is?

Pointer80; Every computer device I own is an Apple product, every photo I've posted here has had the same problem. Even if I save the photo rotated to compensate for what this site will do it still turns out fubar. I don't have issues on other sites so it's something here, not on our end.

I guess that depends on your point of view. To me it sounds like an Apple issue if others with Microsoft products here don't have the issue.

my phone will rotate some pictures 180 (iphone) windows computer.

Then others it won't, if you rotate them on the computer then post them sometimes they flip back...

I gave up and just post them.

yes I plan on painting bright white and trimming everything in Yamaha blue. Also fluorescent light fixtures mounted right to the ceiling and "hard wired" in. Eventually I will then convert to LED. a few at a time as money permits.

I will have to check other sites and see. I would like to figure it out

Great ceiling.

About the pics; When I first got my iPhone I was having the same problem. As it turned out, I was holding the phone wrong to take pictures. Just because the image in the display is upright the picture taken was upside-down. Yes it looks right on the camera roll and it will save on your computer with no issues, but it was still taken upside down. As soon as you cross to a platform that doesn't speak apple it reverts to the wrong way it was taken.

For portrait orientation the home button must be at the bottom. For landscape orientation the home button must be on the right. Hope this helps.

You're going to paint it after you've installed it? Why didn't you paint it before you installed it?

I used OSB on the walls of my race shop. Two coats of oil based primer, two coats of white interior latex. Turned out great.

Maybe he will just spray it, I know I would.

The reason I did not paint it first is because I did not want to keep the barn heated for the time it would take a couple of coats to cure(it's winter in northern Michigan right now), Also with winter being here I did not have a lot of room inside to lay them out to paint them out of the weather. I plan on spraying the ceiling come spring.

Sounds like a solid plan given the challenges you're facing!

I painted my 4x8 OSB four pieces at a time, that is all the room I had in the shop.
