I have on too. I would like to start the inside work this spring. If you have insulated yours, give me some advice on what method. Do you need to use those vent baffles in the ceiling? What type of insulation did you use. I think mine is 12x16.

We are going to put in several windows for air circulation.  (Lots of nice days there where opening the windows is all that is needed) Don't know if we will be putting venting in the ceiling or not, have to have some "dead air space" in the ceiling for them to work properly I am told.  But we will need some fresh air in the building for sure. The vents that came with the building on either end will be replaced at some point, there is no way to close them, we do have bugs!   I would like to put an old fashion screen door up, but we are still at the talking all that out stage. 

Still thinking on the insulation too.  It will be insulated, either spray foam or fiberglass "rolls" between the studs with dry wall over the insulation.  Have to price out each option yet.

Love that!  Looking forward to seeing the progress.  (forgive me for turning a lighter shade of green...??)  Enjoy the journey!

not sure where you are located but in our garage we got some of those insulation sheets that they generally put under siding (about 1/2" thick and silver) on the inside and then covered them with I think panelling (can't see it with all the tools on the walls and this is hubby's domain so I don't spend a lot of time there), we also created a ceiling with them so that we aren't heating just the roof area and it keeps it toasty warm in there (we live just north of Nashville TN); this fall when we redid our roof we did add a ridge vent, not sure if it has helped at all because we haven't been through summer yet :-)

as far as bugs and the vents at the top, get some window screen material and staple it to the wall covering the entire vent area -- will still allow air flow but should greatly reduce the bugs
