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.

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.

Tapatalk still works.

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?

Still can't figure out an efficient way to post photos. I feel like such an old.

Sorry, no brogramming phenom here, I simply gave the best solution I could without overloading the forum server.

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

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.

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 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

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.
