Especially to a guy, like me, stuck in the middle of a large city with just a two car garage. Man, I'm sure envious. But very happy for YOU. CONGRATS to you on a nearly completed great project..... Bill. Thanks Bill! We moved here this past year and the old house had just a small single. This house had a double, but also some yard space to build on. I'm not getting any younger, so here we are!

Back home, Jen & I started putting it up. She started on the walls and I started on the ceiling. Took most of the day, but it's done. Next is vapour barrier & strapping for the ceiling! Dave PS that's not SNOW, it's dust in the air!!

Be sure you have at least 50 outlets on the inside, perhaps more, but seriously many and don't forget to have one external outlet on each side of the building. You should also consider doing the same for water outlets, perhaps one on each opposite side. Once closed up on the inside it is too late. It is already too late to double the size of the building. I predict you will have all space occupied within 90 days of completion. Ask me how I know?

I'll pick-up my drywall tonight and rent a lift in the morning. Also picked up all of my flourescent light fixtures and lamps! Dave

OP Teamchevy Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: May 2007 Posts: 108 Peterborough, Ontario, Canada	Owww...boy, i guess I didn't realize how many muscles I haven't been using! Bought 26 sheets of drywall last night. Up @ 5:30am, out to the HD Rental for opening @ 7:00am. Rented a drywall lift and went back to the garage. Got everything organized and a light, and went to work. Worked steady all day, with Jen's help. Ate lunch while working, stopped for 15 min for dinner and done by 6:45pm. Back to HD to return the lift, showered, and now watching the hockey game. I'm sure I'll pay for this tomorrow!! Dave
