Thank you rendezvous and Hern. I am going through that post and taking several notes. My grandfather has a saying about building projects. "Take all the advice you can get then do what you dang well please" I'm changing a lot of my original plans based off the advice I've received on here. It's great to see everyone's ingenuity when it comes to getting the most out of a certain amount of space.

Another name around here for the fiberglass reinforced plastic sheets is just FRP. It is nice to work with so long as you use the correct trowel, adhesive, and roller. Then it gives a really nice finish that unless speared through it will probably outlast you. They make a few trim pieces that are helpful. Now that I have some experience using it, I plan to replace some areas that have inferior material on the walls.

Another advantage to using the white fiberglass sheets along with LED lights is no shadows. You will have no problem with things being too dark to see properly.

Great suggested combo for LED lighting and FRP panels. I searched and it seemed that Sams Club had the best overall value of LED lights comparing quality and price of other lights. I have a few as a test to put up and try.

FRP requires no nail heads or staples sticking up. Check your work. Maybe nobody said this - the FRP panels are only for the cover surface. It requires a backing board. Plywood, paneling, or something else flat and smooth. Prepare for it to possibly creep down. Have diagonal braces ready and use them. Apply adhesive exactly as directed. Roll thoroughly.

This is a very important consideration - whatever size building that you plan and estimate is already too small. Take your size and double it, then start planning again.

I am eager to watch your progress because I also have something on the drawing board.

Best wishes!

Flipper that is one awesome fur shed.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I realize the added expense might make it non-feasable but what about plumbing? A big sink always seems to come in handy and if you have a drain, how about an old washing machine to clean up some of those muddy critters?

One thing I see missing In every fur shed Is the lack of any girly calendars. I have at least a Sports Illustrated swim suit calendar In my shop.

I once posted a flintlock build-along on a different forum and forgot I had my snap-on calendar on the wall behind my bench. Not sure of the guys were paying attention to my build or the calendar.

Sports Illistrated calendar, the only sport worth watching in my opinion.
