Some further work on the inside today.

 

Looks like you have a system figured out.
You're motoring right along there, Bill.

Progress is good!

 

It'll be a shame to cover up all of that handiwork. It is so neat and orderly.

 

Or repetitive and monotonous, depending on your perspective.

The 1/4" plywood I see is only 3 ply and seems pretty frail for a garage wall.
I would probably want to use Multiply underlayment, or even jump to 3/8"

With five plys I think it is much stronger and more stable.

 

Good points Jim, I haven't decided completely yet on the bay wall side. The walls won't be completed until the electrical is cleared.

 

Do the walls have to be covered with a fire proof or fire resistant material?? Might have to be according to code. I saw one where metal siding was put 3' up from the floor (welding sparks).

 

The only walls that will conceivably be flammable, other than the front, are the walls along the office and wood shop. The far side wall is steel and the welder will probably be on that side.

 

Before our present from Canada arrived, I got the last two uprights finished and ran the stringer the rest of the way down the side. We have one more so so day Saturday than back to sub freezing for about a week (it's currently 26° here)

 

I'm glad you realized it isn't coming from Okiehoma. We've been having unseasonably warm weather so you are getting ours. But, we go into the deep freeze on Sat night.

 

Gary, I know this isn't from you this time. Yesterday the high was around 50°, currently it is 16°. Tomorrow is supposed to be mid 40s, then back to below freezing for a week or more.

 

Finished what I had started Thursday since Saturday is supposed to be the last tolerable day for the next week or so. Wired in the first of the wall outlets in the first bay and put labels on most of the active breakers in the panel. I also stapled the wires to the framing as required.

 

Really starting to look like you are on the home stretch.

 

Awesome looking shop

 

Thank you, it was what I really wanted to build as far as being able to really do things.

 

I need to do some updates, I have been adding some wiring and switches for the lights, I have been turning the shop lights on and off with the breakers. Now I have 12 switches, 6 inside the office and 6 in the shop.
