Well the floor is not insulated , as i did not decide to insulate the shed, until after i realized i was going to be waiting another year or to for my 'real' shop. So only the walls and ceiling are insulated. It was an after thought. Guess I was thinking that another layer of material would be better for durability/protection. Thanks for the reply. Good point Ned. I tend to over complicate or put too much thought into things sometimes. Maybe I will use all that underlayment to make a couple hundred magazine holders thanks for the advice and look forward to being part of the community.

I have some minor gaps and spaces between the sheathing, very minimal 1/32 at most. Since I did insulate the walls and roof I thought it would be a good investment. Beside moisture coming up I don't want spills going underneath either. Maybe I am over complicating it. Who knows with me sometimes.

Hi all, I am new here and am hoping to improve my woodworking skills. I have recently put up a 10x20 shed/shop that I will use 3/4 of as a place to sniff glue and eat sawdust. I am hoping someone may have some advice on my floor covering options. I have limited selection of tools at this time and most are, or have been, used for home repair and remodeling. But I expect this will expand over the next several months. **i should disclaim I intend to put up a 40x60 shop for both wood working and my need for things that go fast. So this shed/shop is just a step in the direction of something larger in about 18-24 months. I have just purchased 1/4 smooth faced underlayment to lay over the 3/4 plywood. But am not sure if i want to use a two part epoxy or linoleum? Any suggestions here? The other 1/4 of the shed will be used for storage and I expect to have to move my table saw (when I get one) right outside and wheel it back in. I am planning on a dealt contractor style table saw for now. I would then doing my joinery, assembly, finishing, etc inside. Both I expect to cost about the same so the real question is functionality, which I hope someone here can help me with. Thanks in advance for any advice and look forward to being part of the community. Jay,
