It is noisy, cold/hot, and difficult to paint once it get grungy. It
isn't as strong as plywood to hold shelves & whatnot, and it doesn't
have a fire rating like sheetrock. * *And unless you're getting it for

Of course the metal will run vertically, so I am not
sure how that will work.

Why?

Sheet rock I have to mudd and tape. OSB is ugly and in my area has
gone up to 12 bucks a sheet. I thought metal might look nice. White
walls with a tan "splashguard" on the bottom about 3 feet up. Tan
epoxy floor. You think I wont like it? Can you not just pressure wash
the walls?

My thinking is I though the sheets were 3 ffet wide. Wouldnt that put
the ends between studs? Wouldnt that make the ends kind of floppy?
