    Sleep, then start getting duct work drops in and tools placed. Maybe some ceiling fans up.

    I sprayed 3.5-4" closed cell foam in the shed last fall. With the walls only half done on south side it was 70 degrees in there with barely the floor running. I dont think I am doing anything with the ceiling beyond that for now.

    Original plan was plywood - that is a ton of work.
    Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.

    Our ceiling was foam sprayed as well and the inspector forced us to fire protect it. We sprayed intumescent paint on it instead of covering it.

    The closed cell foam in our addition was formulated to be fire retardant and it didn't need to covered in the attic space which is considered inside the envelope. Things may or may not be different with particular local jurisdictions...we got a bye on that, but got hammered with a bunch of other things relative to the structure that cost us time and money because of the local inspector's "point of view" at the time.

    Guessing you sprayed open cell if they forced you to fire protect it?

    My closed cell is fire retarder and a moisture barrier and even provides structural support.

    No, ours is closed cell as well. I wonder if yours has a fire retardant additive in it that ours does not. Or we have overly picky inspectors.

    Could be either...or both.

    I am sure if I had an inspector for my shed they might have an opinion.

    Mike, the walls look great. Bet you're glad to have that phase behind you now.
