I am still in the planning stages for my 24x32x12 garage. Just a hobbyists garage to store my toys and work on them. Eventually will have a 2 post, and much later will store a motorhome. I am looking to have scissor trusses to maximize interior height, as exterior height is frowned upon (need a variance as it is). I’m looking at builders to do the basics, but then I’ll do some of the finish work. So builder will do foundation, structure, doors/windows, electrical panel, and ceiling/ceiling insulation. Later on I will run electrical in the walls, insulate the walls, and sheath the walls. I am considering OSB for the entire interior, all screwed in. This allows me to drop sheets if I need to get in the walls for anything. I’d probably paint it all too for light reflection, but I’m not looking for it to look like the inside of a house, it’s a garage after all. I figure I’d run all the electrical in the walls, and mount a series of high mounted outlets off a switch for lighting, maybe 1 or 2 banks. And then I can just hang lights from the ceiling OSB and run the cords to the high outlets on the walls. Not high tech but gets the job done.
So for those that have done OSB interiors, how do you like them? Are there things you wish you would have done differently? Anything sound too far off with my plan?
