Forgive me, I know nothing of the way you build things in the US....
What goes on the other side of the Sterling board? Do you have insulation and then brick or block work?
Also, how many amps is the supply to the workshop? Do you have any 240 volt supply available as I used to have in our house in Canada?
Had to look up "sterling board", it's just called OSB here (orientated strand board). It's just a wood frame building, he has his stucco finish on the outside, he can insulate in the cavities before covering the inside of the walls. It's a wood frame building.
He has 220V from his post, he mentioned a 100A panel before. With some rare exceptions, Anytime one runs a panel it's 220V as that is how our electricity works. You will find some old garages, or ones that people just didn't plan where they just run 1 or 2 110V circuits from the house, this sucks. But generally most folks will run a 60-100A service out to a garage/shop from the house, so then they can wire it up full of 110 and 220V circuits.
If he didn't put a panel in his shop, I think most of us would just shun him [big grin]
