heres a few of my shots

Nice looking garage! How do you like the metal walls? Is there a difference in the noise level with the metal? I just built a 30x54 pole building and am not sure on how to finish the inside of it. Is it expensive to do compared to drywall(doing it myself)? What did you use for lighting?

Thanks for the info! It's greatly appreciated!

Do not use drywall if the inside of the building is going to be constantly going above and below freezing (dewpoint) drywall is not an outdoor product it will eventually go punky and bubble and look like h ell....use plywood or chipboard. D

They do make an exterior grade drywall (used in the commercial industries).

But i would go with plywood or chipboard also, you can hang stuff anywere.

Ususally by code when you have a shared wall with the house a fire rated drywall must be used on that wall.

I like the metal walls, I haven't noticed any noise increase. Its easier to keep clean than drywall, I can wipe or hose it down if something gets on the walls. We purchased the metal ourselves and it was more expensive than drywall or plywood but I think it looks better. It was a little harder to handle just because of the size of the sheets but it wasn't to bad. What are you going to do for heat? We went with heat in the floor and so far its working great

You have to pardon the construction pics, but we will be moving in June and the house is still full of wreckage from building. Concrete is not poured yet. Parade of Homes model.

Garage #1 (24'6 X 42)



Garage #2 (24'6 X 42) Directly under #1 with spancrete panels.







Concrete Bunker/Gun Room (225 square feet) Only accessible by moving secret false wall yet to be constructed. Where you see the Dow Thermax logo is only temporary. Access is inside my utility room. Water heater/furnace/ammo for the zombie apocalypse.
