Alright, got some more done today. Started hanging the walls. It's 1/2 sanded plywood. Should look real nice once I get paint on the wall. I also got a surprise for the divider wall. I will post once it's done :)

Alright, here's a few teaser pics. So why would I need a black wall? Haha, well, the divider wall will soon have some of the 200 square foot of vintage BARN tin I just picked up! I use the black paint so that any holes the tin may have, won't show raw wood through :thumbup:

Alright, now my vision is coming together. I'm doing my ceiling with T11 siding and I'm staining oak. I grossly underestimated how much stain these panels **** up! It's taking damn near a can of stain each panel and I got 15 panels haha. Oh well, should look killer when done . :)

Getting the ceilings in. Gotta give credit to my wife for making the suggestion on a wood type ceiling. :) I started searching google and found People’s pictures of T11 siding on the ceiling. I really like the look.

This looks nice. Looking forward to seeing how it comes out.
I've been doing a lot of research on what I want to have built/build and I never really took much look at prefab like this. Looks like I should take a harder look at it as an option.

Thanks! Yeah, prefab fit my budget and also my time frame. I pretty much needed something immediately so that was another factor in my decision. :thumbup:

Alright! Now it’s coming together. I got my bench in and wanted a vintage feel so I chose to do a 2 tone stain, dark tops and lighter frame.

Been working on “under bench” storage. Got these on casters so I can slide in and out. Works great for all my plates!

Colt, way to take advantage of dead space, very clever. :thumbup: Looks like you can fit a ton of plates down there. Nice space you are making for yourself.

Thanks! It’s been fun so far. I can’t wait to get the front part finished with all my signs, oil cans, and license plates :)
