Currently insulating and finishing my garage also. Probably going with drywall for the walls and ceiling due to cost though. Love your channel! Especially the renderings that transition to images.
Looking good! I was going to suggest those wafer lights. I have used a bunch of them around the house. The wife and I really like them. So easy to retrofit in. Cut the hole for the light and you now have a big hole to work through to fish the new cable.
Very nice finish on the ceiling. I have found that using OSB for wall panels is particularly nice even if you later drywall for the same reason you did-you can attach things easier and don't always need to find a stud or joist. Thank you for sharing your build on this nice shop. Have a good week ahead.
Thank you for the quick bit about the frustrations of working in a cluttered area. Your videos make you seem like a well-oiled machine with a nice organized and well thought out process. Now, I know you're just one of us! Haha. Truly loving this shop refit project, please keep them coming!
Very nice work and explanation.. Depending on how long the building has been standing and if you ever had winding weather the structure could have been twisted out of square. You would need to run a cable or two with screw ties to pull it back into square.
FYI, the BB stores have LED strips that will work with ballasted flouro fixtures for like $10/tube or less. You can also get those 4' fixtures with LED's for $20 from Costco. Nice work, I might try using the OSB instead of drywall for my workshop also.
@@doubledarefan Shortly after I installed mine, one of the box stores had 2x 4" LED tubes for $10. That probably won't happen again in the near future though. Buy one and check the K color installed, sometimes the Daylight are just too blue.
Very nice. I hope kitty wasn't trapped in the workshop for too long! I have a very large room above my garage that has 6" deep floor joists on 18" I'd really love to convert this into a lab space with pull down stairs to get in there from the garage. The floor is not insulated and It would seem that the way to make the space work would be to nail 8" or 10" boards to the existing floor joists and lay down OSB over that after first putting insulation into the gap. It sucks that building materials are through the roof though!
Another good thing about using the OSB is you don't have to search for joists if you need to hang something heavy from the ceiling. Just look for the screws holding up the OSB. Anyway, it's looking great.
I used plywood on my shop walls up to 8 feet then drywall above that an on the ceiling when I lived on Thetis island. I cannot cope with the offgassing of OSB. And Plywood actually holds screws a lot better than OSB.
Can you offer a fellow aspiring woodworker some advice? I'm currently building a 12' by 16' gambrel style workshop. I finally just finished shingling the roof. My question relates to insulation.. I want to eventually insulate and finish the inside of my structure, but I'm worried about condensation and mold forming inside. I'm sitting on top of a wood-framed floor with 3/4" Advantech floor sheathing. My wall and roof sheathing is composed of 5/8" Zip System sheathing. I installed two large gable vents, each on opposite sides of the building about six to eight inches from the roof ridge. How can I be sure that my space is vented properly for insulation?
Surprised you didn't get LED lights that are all in one and have a power plug attached, makes it very easy to replace as there's no wiring needed (apart from the initial socket installation), just drop the light out and unplug it.

Hey Kent, this is off-topic, however found this interesting dry concrete vid and thought you might want to try this if you ever revisit your aircrete experiments ua-cam.com/video/UTroH9MX5pw/v-deo.html Doesn't address the aircrete/weight issue, but sure is interesting as no mixing is needed and curious what the strength might be.
Great job! A cozy and well lit shop is essential for every man.
It sure is! Thanks!
Great work and explanation as always, my friend. Not to mention the wicked editing skill. So cool.
👍 In the past, we have used exterior siding on our walls to avoid having to do drywall.
I just don't like doing drywall myself either.
We plan to do our own drywall in the house we are building now, so we'll see how it goes. 😅🏡

Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words here.
Looks good.thanks for sharing. I love you style and honesty. I love your content and your graphics are second to none.

OSB over drywall? I like it! Too bad on the round LEDs, but at least you can use them elsewhere! Nice job!
The original LED's were still like new so I was able to box them up and exchange them for the slimmer ones.
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. I'm sure filming while you're doing all this doesn't make it easier :)
Really coming along good.
Thanks! Been a ton of work, but rewarding for sure.

Thanks! I'll look into that. Kent
@@MANaboutTOOLS Maybe keep the flouro fixtures (you have already bought and installed them), and swap in LED tubes as the flouro tubes burn out.

I had hoped to use plywood but at the time it was much more expensive than the OSB.

Osb mold inhibitor , my not be rite away but it forms mold , good luck" 👍 😉
Thanks for the tip!
When should you trust any tester? When it tells you the circuit is live.
In your area do you have to cover the OSB with something non-flammable like Gypsum board?
Probably. But for my small shop (that will be full of wood and wood dust anyway) I'm not going to do it.
Is that OSB fire rated? Fire rated or not, what's the price difference between OSB and drywall?
I don't think it's fire rated. I'm pretty sure drywall is cheaper.
Any reason why you didn't use LED tubes rather than fluorescent?
The fluorescent tubes were much cheaper at the time.
Surprised you didn't get LED lights that are all in one and have a power plug attached, makes it very easy to replace as there's no wiring needed (apart from the initial socket installation), just drop the light out and unplug it.
That would have been a good option. Maybe I needed to do more research into LED's.
I'm surprised that you didn't use LED 4' lights, they are reasonable cost.
I was looking for more light output. But, I'm sure the 4" ones would have been just fine.
is their a reason why you lined the walls with plastic?
Yes, look into "vapor barriers"
Don,t you have led tubes in the USA ?
Yes, but can be much more expensive.

how thick was your osb?
7/16"

Why OSB vs Plywood?
At the time it was cheaper.
Never seen plastic on the ceiling, Looks like it will be issues
Vapor barrier
@@MANaboutTOOLS I lived in Iowa and we did it only on the walls. As the house needs to breathe
that is not a roll up door, it is an overhead garage door.
yes
