Ok, thanks. Didn't know if you had to buy a special "nibbler" type tool. I'm assuming it worked ok for you.

I had a fine tooth metal blade and held it close to where I was cutting so it wouldn't flap. As I recall it went very smoothly.

Got the plywood up. Should I paint the plywood?

Lookin' sharp :thumbsup:

I paneled our interior walls with OSB - and I do plan on painting it (white) - largely for illumination reasons ....

I really do like the look of wood though .... and that plywood looks pretty nice (but a bit busy

)

I just did a bunch of 2' x shelving in our garage with 3/4" B-C plywood .... and I polyurethaned them (3 coats, sanded 3 times) ... a good bit of work, but they will be easy to clean.

Paint it white, it will make the room feel bigger and help with illumination. Out of curiosity, how come you didn't cover the walls with the same metal panels as the ceiling?

I didn't realize how busy plywood looks. I used wood vs metal or drywall because I could hang stuff on the plywood. It also absorbs sound.
