Wouldn't wood shelving provide more, sturdier storage for the dollar?
As far as the walls go they are drywall except for the insulate panels
that are foil?
Paint does not need to be perfect just something to cover the drywall
and lighten up the place.
Could someone locate a price on 2 fire extinguishers ABC or BC types. We
will need 2 of them think of the size that a school or office or what
have you has and that's what we need.
