Harrier, very nice work on your shop. It is a tremendous amount of work, but persistence pays off.
I have been working on building my Barn/Shop since 2019. My problem is that I am building it on property I have owned for almost 30 years, but it is about 1500 miles from where I live. I only have about a month and a half every summer to work on it, on site. I built the entire steel structure at my home, and shipped it up to my property. I am sure my neighbors like me. I will post a thread on it. It is keeping me from working on my F-100. Too many projects in retirement.

Your shop is looking great Joe. The spray foam looks like the best solution for sealing around everything so there is no drafts.
I was wondering about the direction you are attaching the ceiling tin to the 2x4s, will you have a sag issue between them? This winter I want to get tin on my ceiling as well.
Keep up the good work

Having a shop 1500 miles away makes it difficult to work! And building at home and shipping seems like a huge endeavor
I don't think I will have sagging problems, but we will see over time.
