re: Interior finishing, my dad did all the interior walls of his garages in 5/8" plywood. You can hang pretty much anything anywhere, don't need to worry too much about studs.

Agree. I'd say 1/2" would also do that.

The shop I tore down was all plywood as well, it was actually not bad.

Thanks for that. I challenge you on story of your life haha, it's my story, and one of the most frustrating pieces in building my own home. As it sits, my septic guy is basically MIA, the concrete guy stopped responding to me (even though he did my entire slab before..), HVAC people are slammed and haven't been back for a month (nice guys, so give them a pass, at least they respond to me and answer my questions). The only good contractor in the whole process has been my spray foam guy, but it's because he is a cousin of a guy I know, so I get a bit of preferential treatment. I think I won't have too much trouble with drywallers either, as that company also does drywall...but everything else...good fking luck. Seriously, I don't know how these guys stay in business. I was once told by someone, that to be better than 99% of contractors out there....all you had to do is respond...and I believe this to be 100% true. Fk these people are bad.

You need a better realtor.

Pictures dont do it justice. It's funny, there was a family walking by, young kid asks " what are they building"? Dad says "looks like another house" lol

This is great. Looking forward to the final product.

Btw, for the interior wall finishing, I went with tin panels painted white. They're ~$1.50/sqft. No drywall, just laid over top of the vapor seal with insulation behind that. Just an alternative to drywall. Uncle Weiners sells it.

Uncle Weiners is the jam. Roofed our “lean” at the lake for half what Home Hardware wanted

Can someone fill me in haha. Few threads now where realtors are mentioned that seem to have no relevance to a realtor, and I feel like I missed the memo somewhere.
