Finally! Garage tear down and build

[03ozwhip]

Electrical rough in is done, setup the lights to see if they work in series, everything is good. Also, GARAGE DOORS!! I'm terrible at taking pics, but this is it. 13 total 4' lights. I may add more, but its pretty nice.

Thanks man. Still deciding what to do with walls. I am going to do a peg board wall for sure.

Obviously do what you think is best, but IMO I *hate* pegboard, the pegs are always falling out and while pegs can hold lots of stuff, they don't hold very well.

I ended up throwing out our pegboard in favor of 3/4" plywood painted white and have never looked back. If I were building the shop from scratch I'd run an 8 foot wall of plywood the entire perimeter so you can mount anything to the wall, anywhere, anytime.

If I could do my last garage again I would also run painted plywood.

Plywood is probably the way I'm going g to go, but that peg board im going to try it out on the one wall, see if it's actually good for organizing.

Slat wall beats peg board.

I have a shit ton of peg board I got for nothing, so I might as well use it.

Sorry man, Beyond has spoken. You're not allowed peg boards. I don't make rules, I just follow them.

"So it was posted, so it shall (not) be done"
- @rage2 probably.

accurate.

[03ozwhip]

I havent taken many pics but the electrical inspection has passed and insulation has commenced.

The whole garage is actually done other than the ceiling I need more but it's well underway.

[03ozwhip]

As of today the insulation is fully done. I decided on ⅜ OSB so Thursday I'm going to start that and I'll throw up some progress pics.

Hopefully early next week I should be installing my new 4 post.

Nice. Are you painting all the OSB white? Would help brighten up the garage I think.

Two coats of primer is a good investment there. Spray it.

Bright garage interior FTW!

[03ozwhip]

Had to close up any gaps with tuck tape and spray foam for any air leaks then I Started the OSB.


Posted this in the other thread, but got this 6 piece storage set for the back wall.

Why’d you double up on the studs there?

I didn't do it. They're 2x6 and it is over engineered lol by the time I realized it was happening, I let it happen.
