awesome..... when you insulate the rest of the walls.... put about 8" of flashing metal up the wall from the floor behind the drywall, so mice dont make a hole in it and live in the insulation

Will do. I remember you mentioned that before.

For those wondering about the odd sheathing on that back wall, I did it that way for a couple of reasons. First and foremost I had the extra OSB and would rather use it than store it. Second, I figured wooden interior walls would be better for hanging cabinets and tools from. I only had five leftover sheets, so I couldn't go all the way to the ceiling on both sides, so I didn't go all the way up on either side (that fifth sheet can be seen under the Jeep preventing oil from dripping on my as-yet unprinted and un-protected concrete floor). Wooden walls on the top third would serve no practical purpose either, since they would be between 8 and 12 feet high - too high to mount cabinets or hang tools. I didn't put OSB behind the stove for fire reasons, hence my weird T-shaped drywall installation... It won't look so funny once I paint the wood white, though...
