jusjeepn 59 #2 Posted December 19, 2008 Nice work Perry! That should help with heating this winter and the amount of light in your shop as well. Speaking of heat, nice Earth stove and exchanger! Like to find one of those exchanger's some day! Drywall looks good!! Pat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj4kicks 154 #3 Posted December 19, 2008 Looks good Perry, especially considering the obstacles. One question though... You did hang the drywall ACROSS the rafters, right? Believe it or not, drywall does have a "grain". For those that don't believe me, google it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,599 #13 Posted December 19, 2008 One question though... You did hang the drywall ACROSS the rafters, right? Believe it or not, drywall does have a "grain". For those that don't believe me, google it. I don't want to sound :imstupid: (I come by it naturally), but when hanging drywall or laying down plywood or osb, isn't a good practice to hang or lay it across the rafters or joists for strength purposes. :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #14 Posted December 20, 2008 I won't know where I'm at when I come visit you in a week or so, but I'm sure it will be warm, and ya did you stand on the mustang??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butch 194 #15 Posted December 20, 2008 T-Mo yes you would lay it length ways across the ceiling joists which you refer to as the rafters. But by the pics he posted I can't see or tell which way his rafters/ceiling joists run. If that were my garage door lets say in the picture, then the drywall would be running the wrong way. But that's because of where my roof is pitched. But if his garage roof pitches opposite from mine, or at 90 degrees I should say then his drywall is running the correct way. Have I confused ya enough? :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,136 #16 Posted December 21, 2008 Looks good Perry. You must have Mack Truck springs under that single axle trailer ! I bet that load of sheet rock was real heavy. Just loading and unloading the trailer would be a workout for me. Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bitten 134 #17 Posted December 21, 2008 Perry Looks great. Now that you have the practice do you want to do mine? I will make sure that there is nothing in the way and will be as much help as I can be. I would love to do my garage some day and have a nice warm place to do some work on those cold ass days when its just to cold for working in the none heated shop. P.J.
