350 feet...$1000 for wire alone! good thing i put it in myself...

 

[autoclassicnut]

Now for the inside... I framed it in with 2x6's and insulated then sheetrocked the endwalls, Here's pics of the side walls, I'm using OSB on them...

here's a link to my other post... They are great! i might mount one overhead set for my workbench when that comes about...www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15772&page=5

Couple questions....what will you use for ceiling insulation? How difficult was the erecting process? I've heard some owners say they are a PITA to build... your thoughts?

Personally I kinda like these buildings.... great for just a shed without endwalls or fairly EZ to finish the ends with your choice of doors.

Hey Kroozer! you'd have to check out my first posts...www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15772 Pretty much tells all of the fun I had putting this up. I am still planning the overhead insulation...

 

[autoclassicnut]

Here's what it looks like now...I want to put a black stripe or 2 down the middle next. I know it's not perfect, but this will be a weekend car/truck building shop.

 

[hypnotoad]

Keep those updates coming. Looking great.

Here's how the first sidewall turned out...

I have assisted in building two of these types of buildings and we glued foil covered blanket insulation directly to the building on the areas that are above your walls. The "strips" were wide enough to land on the "ribs" and then we taped the joints with foil tape. We used polyureathane construction adhesive. Just a suggestion.

any concerns with using osb....over sheetrock... for the fire resistance?

 

[autoclassicnut]

I am going to weld in the shop, and the area I designate will have OSB with sheets of 20 gauge steel over it. ( I picked up some from a guy that was going to scrap it, about 12 sheets of 4 x 8 and I nabbed it quickly , free for the hauling). They were used and removed from a building, they have a few holes in the corners,but I will make it work. I ended up buying him a few cool ones when i saw him downtown the next weekend. (it was the least i could do).
