You obviously are not one of "Those Guys"
When I wired my garage, I put receptacles in the ceiling for the fluorescent shop lights. Makes it easier if I need to take one down to replace it or change out a ballast.wheres the electrician..... doing 220v in there ?!?!?

The electrician guys are doing the rough-in right now. Yes, 240 with both 30-amp and 50-amp service--two locations.
Seven 120 volt outlets around the walls, and one more on the ceiling for the door opener. The three on the north wall are placed for workbench, fridge, and air conditioner ease-of-access. The rest are for whatever else--vacuum, battery tenders, outside trimming, etc...

Good idea on the fan boxes. I have built three houses now (well, I had them built) and learned a lot each time. One of the things I specified was to install a fan box anywhere a ceiling fixture was being put in. Not much difference in price and saves a lot of hassle if you want to mount a fan in the future.Great project! the only question I have is why you didn't install more windows for natural light?
Fewer windows, fewer places for thieves peek or to get in.
BTW, what kind of exterior siding will you be doing?
for a mc forum, why is this now my favorite thread?
There's no doubt about that. All my fun shit is in my garage. Except my safe, but if I had a secure place for that in my garage, or I lived in it, my safe would be there also. Haha...for a mc forum, why is this now my favorite thread?
Ha, ha! Thanks!
I think there is a very strong link between love of motorcycles and the garages that keep them warm and dry.

Putting the exterior sheeting on before standing the wall up adds rigidity and keeps it square. You run the sheeting 1 1/2 lower than the bottom plate, so when you stand the wall up, you have a lip to flush it up to the sill plate with. It eliminates the awkwardness of trying to hold sheeting up nice and straight against the framing trying to get the first few nails in. The biggets downside of sheeting the wall first is that it's heavier and requires more people to stand it up. I've seen some folks compromise and only sheet each end, then stand the wall, then finish the sheathing in the middle.Did they nail on the OSB before they stood up the stud walls? That was a new one on me.
Hopefully there won't be splash-up onto the...You run the sheeting 1 1/2 lower than the bottom plate....
