New / old work space 30x40 pole barn.

Wafer board can be painted too, if desired, to brighten up the place.

Thanks guys we plan to paint the osb to boost the lighting , seal up the board and aid in future clean up. I wanted to cover the seams with 1x2 to cover the seams and to have something to hold the air lines and conduit out off the wall. My wife thinks I'm making more work for my self.

I like that 1x2 idea, I may do that once my building is up. Gonna use the OSB for sure.

Just a small update we blew another fifty bags of insulation this morning and then I started on some lighting.
Once the walls are lighter it will really pop.
My back is about shot not as fit as I used to be....

Not much to report getting ready for the furnace installation. I am more than ready to be done so I can tear into a fun project.

I like the metal ceiling, its light and can hold a ton of insulation. If I build a shop in my back yard it will get the same thing. Paint the floor while you are at it. Lowes has a barn paint that is cheap and works good for a shop. I used it on my last barn/shed. It really helps with the light. Tim

My shop used to just have the poly over the insulation on the outside walls. After this discussion, I'm thinking I just might use OSB and paint to finish the new shop off. As mentioned, you can hang anything anywhere.

I put a coat of primer on the wall behind the furnace area. Some of the chips lifted I may have put it on too thick ? Boy does the white brighten up the space. Walking to the house last night my night vision was shot.

The OSB board is practical but probably even more so if you put a fire retardant paint on it, near the furnace I would add a layer of drywall, city fire codes probably required that an 18 inches of clearance. Shop looks good
