Maybe it's be mentioned already ....drywalls biggest benefits (in my opinion) are its fire resistant and it's cheap. It's also pretty easy to patch and repair to make it look new again.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Holy Crap..... You are a painting maniac!
Standard is 1/2". 5/8" is fire guard. Way older installations can have 3/8".

It's a woodworking thing.
I used the OSB in my garage in the areas that would see more "traffic". Drywall in the low traffic areas. Take a look at this thread...

Well this project is still going along.....slowly. Life gets busy. It has really cut into my machining hobby. I'm not complaining. Last year this time I was wondering if I was going to beat the weather.
So in the end I decided to drywall most of the low traffic areas and put up OSB in the areas where I would be doing a little more work. Regular OSB would not be fine for me so I did a few test samples and this is what I came up with.
The two on the top row are my favorites. Only difference is one has an oil based Varathane, the other is water based.
This idea...

In the garage where it's most crowded, benches down below, cantilever 2' of shelving up above (with lights underneath) and 3/4 plywood between the two. Nails, screws and dowels (I get a cold shiver at the thought of peg board) are used to cover the plywood with tools; screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, hacksaws, wrenches etc .... stuff that doesn't need to go in a drawer

When I say roller, I mean using it with a screw in broom handle. With the long handle you can really rock and roll, groan. They have screens that go in 5 gallon pail . The big fluffy sleeves can do anything.
