Thanks for the kind words! I was so nervous starting but It was very easy process

I have an OT question about your shop. I just moved into a place with a 38x40 shop and the "insulation" is just some thin foam with a "mylar" type backing between the metal and the wood, with an open ceiling. Weird design. My truck and tools are rusting as they sit in the shop over the damp Washington State winter. How is your shop with the moisture? I see in the pic of your truck you've got some regular fibergals insulation and a plywood ceiling.

It was a total downer this winter when it was "raining" in the shop due to condensation. My wife and I are pretty bummed about it, because the shop was one of the selling points on the property for us.

Hey that's a local hot rod shop about a mile from my house, Im in and out nearly daily there and have never noticed any moisture at all. I know the roof is well insulated. They do keep it heated day and night reasonably hope this helps!

Gary,

I had the same problem in Michigan. I put up 3/8 dry wall. It is almost like a moisture sponge. I also had a little gas heater overhead but the drywall is what took care of 90% of my moisture.

Sorry to hack the thread.
