Subject: [AT] Shop ceiling 

I was talking with my builder friend this evening about the next step in 
my shop.  It is a pole building that I put up false walls between the 5 
by 5 poles.  The walls are 2X4 on 24" centers with roll insulation 
between then covered with 7/16" OSB.  For the ceiling I put 2X6 joists 
between the trusses and was planning on covering with the same OSB.  THe 
problem soon became obvious.  The building is not square, I have 6 
lighting outlets, 4 switched plugs for task lighting, and 4 hanging 
outlets, all would need holes through the OSB so each sheet may be 
lifted two or three times to a 9' 6" ceiling.  I had designed a panel 
lift for my engine hoist.

Then my friend said that many here use tin.  He said I could get No 2 
tin and he and I could put it in place in an afternoon.  Then I will use 
blown in cellulose insulation.  It will make a nice warm shop for these 
mild Ozark winters.

Any comments on this idea?
