    NICE! Did you do the foam or hire out? LOL do you need wall covering with that great insulation? We had T & G Aspen before and worked fine, though there is no humidity here...

    hire out. the insulation is great. in the summer it is even quite cooler in that room than the rest of the barn. i am just looking to finish out the walls and have something more solid to hang stuff on.

    I'd install girts and then use "liner" grade tin. I'd be tempted to go with plywood or at least OSB on the bottom 4' or so though, in a workshop type environment.

    I seem to be averaging only one panel per day. Lol. Pre-hung double doors made it on site this past weekend. Solid oak, never installed. Kinda feel bad i need to cut them down a few inches but at least the cutoffs will go into the boiler. Still gotta bring up the single door for the other end of the room.

    Wife took son and credit card to the mall this afternoon so me and the little munchkin were able to get some work done. Still need to cut the bottoms of the double doors.

    I am sure the little munchkin was a great help. Love the guard dog.
