What OSB (Oriented Strand Board) Looks Like |
The amount of money my client is investing in this project does not take into account the amount of thought he is putting into it. This will be an intriguing project. The conversion into a mechanical shop for vintage vehicles necessitates accuracy.

Starting the ceiling |
Before the OBS boards were installed, just the framing
You can see the finished garage construction in the following video. This video will showcase the garage's size and the completed framing. Today's installation of the OBS will provide us with a clearer vision of its appearance before we begin painting. This will allow us to make more informed decisions.
Once all the boards are in their respective positions, we will begin painting. The first step is to prime the entire garage using BEAUTITONE PRIMER SOLUTIONS Interior/Exterior Acrylic Latex Block It Primer Sealer. For me to be able to cover all of the walls and ceiling, I will require seven gallons of this primer. I am going to wait twenty-four hours for it to dry before moving on to the next stage of the painting process.

This is the primer I will use for the best primer coverage with OBS |
As you can see, the process of completing the OSB boards is currently underway. We have completed the walls, and the construction of the ceiling is nearly complete. Getting the entire garage primed is the next step that we will take. Once we prime everything, we will proceed to a more intricate painting task. To finish the ceiling, we plan to use a flat, white late ceiling paint. There will be three distinct colour combinations on the walls. Once we have measured six feet from the ceiling, we will paint it white eggshell. Next, we will apply a light blue colour to the next four feet, followed by a twelve-inch strip that will span the entire garage. Paint made from eggshell latex will be used to paint the final stage that is located beneath the strip in a dark blue colour once more.

How it looks at the moment: walls are all completed, and part of the ceiling is done |
After we have begun the process of painting, I will update this post with additional pictures and additional information regarding how we carry out the process. I will use a laser to create precise lines, and I will use painting tape to achieve smooth and crisp lines. During the process of taping the lines on the bottom, I will add some dap to ensure that no paint goes underneath the tap. This will allow me to achieve a line that is clear and distinct.
