I deal with imgur, dropbox used to work until a couple years ago they removed the linking to images. All I know is the new "add image to post" link on the forum sucks donkey dick. small thumbnail that opens in another window at a small size that you have to download the original to get a good view? Might as well still be on a C-SLIP internet connection via Windows 3.1 and Trumpet WinSOCK using uudecode to put the images back together like we did in 1992.
I wish google would work for direct linking. All my photos are there...and that's what I used until people started telling me that maybe half of my images are actually appearing. That's when I gave up.

Yeah, but pretty sure once you upload it to Tapa you can't get it back or take it down if needed. Okay for most stuff, but not everything.troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 3:03 pmTapatalk still works.Detroit wrote: That's the thing...every time I figure out a solution, it gets killed.

Yea...but they're already starting to make it more difficult and pushing to a paid plan. Only a matter of time before they go full photobucket.troyguitar wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 3:03 pmTapatalk still works.Detroit wrote: That's the thing...every time I figure out a solution, it gets killed.

OK...so garage talk.
I've decided that I'm going to finish my workshop area this weekend. Insulation is a given (I'll be heating it eventually)...but what do I do on the walls? I'm about 95% set on 7/16" OSB...but I prefer the cleaner look of drywall. OSB is far more durable and functional...also easier to install and remove if need be. Anyone have experience with different wall types?

osb will get destroyed by moisture over time. if your garage is not tyveked and stuff that could be a bad time.Detroit wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 3:16 pm OK...so garage talk.

You could always OSB it then drywall over it later. That's what the wall between my garage and house is setup as and it makes it nice when you want to hang stuff that doesn't need the weight support of a stud, but wouldn't work with just drywall anchors.

Well, the outside walls are OSB...they're wrapped in some sort of wrap (I believe tyvek) with stucco on top. I imagine the inside walls would be ok...but this is why I want to think about it before I do anything.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 4:11 pmosb will get destroyed by moisture over time. if your garage is not tyveked and stuff that could be a bad time.Detroit wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 3:16 pm OK...so garage talk.

Fortunately, the bottom 18" of the walls are block on footings...so moisture along the bottom isn't an issue as long as I gap it like you said.

I thought about this too. OSB is very appealing for the ease of hanging things. I suppose I could get it up and do drywall on top if I don't like the raw OSB.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 4:15 pm You could always OSB it then drywall over it later.

that sounds like a moisture barrier to me, you should be good to go.Detroit wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 8:37 amWell, the outside walls are OSB...they're wrapped in some sort of wrap (I believe tyvek) with stucco on top.

I love MDF, but dat shit is heavy AF. I'd drywall - pleasing to the eye - can still hang fairly heavy things with toggle bolts, and for heavier things find the studsBig Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 8:41 am have you considered mdf? might be cheap er, smooth like drywall, stronger than drywall but not as much as mdf

oh yea. mdf is fucking heavy. I'd probably drywall too. it's also easy to fix, especially in a shop where it doesn't need to be perfect4zilch wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 9:14 amI love MDF, but dat shit is heavy AF.

MDF is heavy, but I considered it briefly. Same for plywood, which is pricey.Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 9:18 amoh yea. mdf is fucking heavy. I'd probably drywall too. it's also easy to fix, especially in a shop where it doesn't need to be perfect
Drywall is most pleasing to the eye...but I find the idea of just driving screws wherever I want in OSB really appealing. True, I could use toggle bolts in drywall

I always kind of wished I could wash my cars in a garage, would consider a wash station on one side or something if my garage was big enough. Straight up tiles or plastic panels on two walls... just another idea

Oh, I love the idea...I just won't run water to the garage because that's a PITA to maintain.

Yeah, I've wanted that too, but also want a drain system for all the water. Talking to an engineer here about 15 years ago it was cost prohibitive due to needing a reclamation tank and needing to have it emptied and disposed of as HAZMAT.
Not sure how's thats different that washing the car in the driveway, I only assume they think I'll be dumping gallons and gallons of oil and gas down the drain if it is in the garage?
Thanks you bastards at the E.P.A.

Most municipalities won't allow it...or force it to go into a storage tank that you dispose of as hazmat like waxer said. Floor drains are explicitly outlawed in my city.[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Dec 19, 2019 1:18 pmIf I ever get a chance to build a garagemahal - I'm putting a floor drain and a wash bay inside.

I feel like I'd rather just live somewhere without winter so there's no need to wash cars indoors. A sandblasting cabinet, parts-washer, and paint booth could all be useful along with the welding gear, machining tools, surface plate, and scales.

If I knew how to weld, I could see the usefulness in welding stuff.
