</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The only downside to OSB is that it is dark,even with good lighting although it can and has been painted. I have a garage finished with it that is 24x 46 with 14 foot ceilings.

My 30 x 50 has OSB on the exterior walls covered with vinyl siding, therefore the interior is already OSB which I don't find it to be dark inside.
Most Garages aren't covered with anything on the inside walls so the interior is either osb or plywood. I've never seen any problem with any of them being to dark inside due to plywood or OSB
There are lots of dwellings with darker paneling than OSB and they're not dark inside.Also what about dark red green brown etc. metal sided buildings. How in the world could OSB be darker inside than them.
12 years ago I enclosed a 24x20 carport with OSB with nothing on the inside.
There are no windows in this and the OSB don't make it dark in there.
I stained the out side with cedar stain a couple of times and the sob is holding up very well and it's a nice looking building.
