Oh no- I made a huge mistake, I installed all the trim and forgot to drywall.
Just joking, this is actually a commercial warehouse, and the plans call for ½” OSB on the interior walls.
Not only does it make a durable wall surface for a shop- it helps to brace the entire building.
The plans call for one nail every 6” on the edges and every 12” in the field.
We used 2 3/8” long ring shank nails and installed the OSB with the smooth side out.
Next the painters primed all the walls with Sherwin Williams ProBlock Primer.
This oil-based primer did a great job covering up all the ink on the OSB.
They caulked any gaps that were noticeable, and finally rolled two coats of eggshell ProMar 200 in “Repose Gray”.
We like this color because it hides dirt but keeps the space bright.
This OSB will hold up better than drywall and can be used to hang all sorts of tools and cabinets, and it’s great for running electrical conduit and airlines.
We’ve got more to come on this project- we still need to hook-up water and sewer, there’s plumbing and electrical trim out, and concrete aprons to pour- So make sure to like and follow. @hausplans
