Eddie, Next thing on the list is some RV spaces, I'm getting ready, and I'm sure more are, for a vacation. Maybe you need to put in a few spaces, and then offer your freinds on TBN to come stay a week or so and help you out some. Really , it doesn't look like you need any help, seems like you do most everything by yourself. That't the way I was raised, and it has worked for me for a long time. Later, Nat

Me, too. My little 21' x 25' shop has 15 duplex 120 volt outlets on the walls plus 3 in the ceiling and three 230 volt outlets. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif And that's a good idea about locating them at the 4' height to make it easier to do the cutouts.

Ha! The older you get the worse the sidetracked problem gets. I can't tell you how many projects I've started and gotten sidetracked on just in the last year. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
Nice job and planning on the outlets.... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Great work Eddie, been following all your projects. BTW, how did you handle the 2nd row OSB seam that dosen't lie over a stud, or is that some kind of camera angle illusion? Keep the updates coming!

Michman,
Your not supposed to notice that!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Just kidding. The OSB is stiff enough that I don't worry about ending it on the edge of a stud, but always have it end in a different location for strength. Each row will have a seem at a different location.
The first row ends with a piece cut to fit. I start the next row with that piece and don't worry about the edges hitting a stud. The third row will be done the same way.
When I put my shelves up, there will be several ledger boards going across the wall that will also stiffin things up and flatten out the slightly uneven edge on the ends.

Eddie,
You can also take a scrap piece of 1 or 2 x 4 and slide it down behind the osb and screw the two boards to it. That way they are locked together. I've seen and used this technique for drywall too as it keeps the number of seams to a minimum.

toe nail a 2x4 between the studs and screw the board to that. if you put it flat side so that the 4" side is facing you, you have more area to hit when you want to hand something.
We do this all the time in offices we build. When we need backing for mounting some heavy equipment we have the contractors put blocking in the walls. Usually 2x10 put in flat side out so that we have some leaway

THanks for for taking the time to share your advice on the seams, but when the shelves are built, I think you'll see that it will take care of the seams.
I've got an idea on how to build the shelves that I've never done before, or actually seen before. Simple, open, and with minimal materials.
First I had to finish off the corners. This one is of the back door and main power box. Earlier threads it was mentioned that I need conduit to protect the wires that were exposed. Hopefully this looks a little safer.
