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. :gay:
That's the thing...every time I figure out a solution, it gets killed. So I stopped trying.

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.
Same here with Google. Just sucks.

Tapatalk still works.

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.

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.

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.

if it is dried in, I say go for it just gap it off the floor like drywall

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.

Sorry, no brogramming phenom here, I simply gave the best solution I could without overloading the forum server.
I do not accept your answer. This is equivalent to a substandard XL that doesn't include a pivot table or a graph. Zero credits.

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.

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.

that sounds like a moisture barrier to me, you should be good to go.

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 studs

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 perfect

MDF is heavy, but I considered it briefly. Same for plywood, which is pricey.

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 :doe:

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 :wrong: 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? :iono:

Thanks you bastards at the E.P.A.

:notbad: idea but you might have to plumb in a drain line in the garage floor.

If I ever get a chance to build a garagemahal - I'm putting a floor drain and a wash bay inside.
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.

The floor drain in my dads garage is awesome. You can’t even tell it’s there under the race deck. :megusta:

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 :doe: along with the welding gear, machining tools, surface plate, and scales. :fullretard:

Where are you going to wash your car when there’s a drought and you are banned from washing them? :notsure:

My dad has a sandblast cabinet and parts washer. 5/7 for sure.

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