They weren'y in the best shape either, they had years of neglect.




Thanks, for the kind words guys. I'm trying to make visible progress every time I go out there and work. I hung some OSB on the ceiling last night. It was only three sheets but it's a start when you're doing it yourself.
I have to get some wood cut this week, so it might slow down the refurb a little bit, but I need the heat for the winter.

Build looks great! Really like what you did with the house so I can definitely see the potential with the garage!

Good Job. Love the house and the wrap around porch!

Ok, I admit, I have been slacking on the garage lately. I was busy last week trying to get some "heat" cut for the winter. My parents have about 17 acres of woods and I clean up all the standing dead/decent dead on the ground.
The big row is a double row, a small row beside the garage and another stack between the poles that needs split yet.


I did get the aluminum brake and wrapped the garage doors, also nailed on the weatherstrip around the doors.


I have started the ceiling, hanging OSB. It's pretty labor intensive when you do it your self. I screw a few blocks to the adjoing sheet or wall, lift up the sheet, drive in one nail , get off the ladder, (hoping the sheet doesn't fall) and stick a T bar or dead man under the sheet. Then I climb back up the ladder and bang away with the framing nailer.

Today, I'm going to try to finish the ceiling for the most part. I took off half a day so I have to got to work this evening. All the OSB left to hang are partial sheets, which will make it easier.

I finished up the OSB on the ceiling on Friday. I had one sheet that wanted to kick my butt. Luckily, I won out and nailed it. lol.

Here's the other side finished.


Here's looking through the center beam. You can see the dead man leaning against the other wall.



Saturday morning I went out and rolled the first coat of paint on the ceiling.

I'll go back out tommorrow and do a second coat. I've been using Kilz oil based and man does that stuff stink. When I through another coat on it, that'll all that gets done out there. I'm going have to get a decent fire going and open the vent in the eave to vent out the stink.
another view.

That's good, I was wondering.

[klogan121]

What thickness osb you use? I am thinking about going the drywall
Or osb route for my ceiling. The walls are osb on mine.

[NUTTSGT]

I used 7/16 on the walls and ceilings. The ceiling joists are 24" oc.

[klogan121]

How tall are your ceilings? And once you get a fire going in the woodstove, how long before it's comfortable in there? Sorry for all the questions!!

Lookin good man. How was the coverage w 2 coats? Just wondered bc I'm getting ready to do my garage addition.

Not at all. I have been enjoying your project and tune in to read the updates when ever I get a notification.

To be honest I wish I was in a position to do something like that but I only have a 2 car garage and I am not really sure what to do with it just yet.

[scootr14]

No sir, enjoying watching your build. I'm busy now with my own 40x60 metal building. But watching you redo yours, is a heck of alot more fun.

By the way, Kilz makes an indoor primer that doesn't stink half as bad as the oil based primer, and works just as well.

[isuace]

I absolutely cannot believe you were hanging 7/16" OSB on the ceiling that high by yourself

The ceilings are now 11" since I lowered them. They used to be 14' and slope down towards the back and were about 11'9". Well, actually the interior roof line still is.

I generally take the Bode out in the morning and start a fire. I come back inside, surf the net while eating breakfast, then take a shower. By the time I am out there it's nice enought to work. Generally it doesn't get much colder than 48-50* during the winter. I have a fire going 2 out of 3 days, as it fits my work schedule, 24 hours on/48 hours off. The concrete floor acts like one big heat sink, gotta get the heat in the 'crete.

I saw the latex based stuff but I was going over a dark gray that is already oil based. I figured the oil based would cover better. I believe it was also a few bucks cheaper for the 5 gallon bucket too.

Coverage has be fine with two coats and that was going over the dark gray. I'm planning slapping the 2nd coat on the ceiling tommorrow.
