 OSB Price

I just bought a load of 7/16" OSB at Lowe's for $9.99 a sheet. Manufactured by Georgia-Pacific. Couldn't believe my good fortune when I saw the price. It just so happened that I was ready to put the interior wall and ceiling covering on my workshop and was looking for the cheapest sheet-goods that would do a respectable job. Was going to use plywood, but decided that at that price I could slap it up and paint it and it would do fine. I was very surprised at the price since building materials have gone through the roof since the hurricanes. Maybe the glut of storm timber on the market is trickling down to us consumers? Anyway, I need 50 sheets but could only carry 25 so I'm going back as soon as possible for the rest before they change their minds.

 OSB Price

For all who are interested, there is a good article comparing OSB and plywood in the latest issue of Fine Homebuilding magazine.

 OSB Price

The decision that I made to use OSB as interior wallcovering in my workshop was not profit motivated, but I admit that it was cost motivated. I don't have the worries that have been noted about vapor barrier interference or swelling from moisture because I am just using it inside. In my climate, I would not use it outside the walls or ceiling.
