I hope that your 'equivalent to R-4' is not that foil bubble warp on the outside under the purlins and under the roof? It is in fact barely R-1 and no more effusive than standard foil wrap and dearer. There are no R-rating 'equivalents' - there are defined ways to determine the R-rating and that rating must be shown on all insulation. Under the roof is needed to prevent condensation - a big problem in steel sheds in Canberra & elsewhere.
To get actual R-4 you'll need batts or foam sheeting - of batts of course you need to line the inside, but perhaps that's what you were planning to do anyway. If you do line and have insulation in the walls it must not touch the foil sheet - or else the R-rating of the foil sheeting goes to zero (as it only works if there is an airspace of at least 25mm between the reflective surface and the next surface (batts, from or the inner all etc).
Plenty of info on this here in the two guides: Part 1 http://icanz.org.au/wp-content/uploa....1.2015_hr.pdf AND Part 2 http://icanz.org.au/wp-content/uploa...ember-2013.pdf

Shed construction is finished. Did one coat of paint today on all the walls with help from my daughter (polyurethane plus white to give it a limed effect). I got the paint last weekend but after 3 coats on some scrap I went back yesterday to double the white additive (so lost a week there)
Got a quote from a sparky last week so I just need to decide on number of power points (then multiply by 2 or was that 3?). Trying to get the painting finished before he comes in. Floor was pavecoated last week by the concrete dude and has come up a treat. Photos below are pre-paint.

Space to the left of the shed in photo below is for the dust extraction enclosure. Ducting will come through wall high and to left of window. The concreter is nagging me for the size I want for the slab which is why my questions in the Dust Extraction section. The slab will also hold the aircon unit which will be under the window.

Electrical work underway
I've found a fantastic sparky - easy to communicate with, happy to discuss options, flexible.
The carport is finished and the store room and workshop should be finished by tomorrow arvo. Just waiting on me making up my mind about the dusty and how to connect it to w/s, and aircon guys to do their bit before he does that wiring.
As suggested by fellow forumites:
- overhead lights in w/s plugins and movable
- 2x15As for dusty and 'other' - we will rig up a cable across the middle of the ceiling to cater for the 15A extension to middle of room and dusty hose
- data port into storeroom for wireless router
Oh, and painting all done. White ceilings and 'limed' polyurethane for walls to keep some of the timber look.

I thought it was illegal to have lights on the floor . That aside, turning my laptop upside down makes it look great. Should be plenty of chips flying soon.

Hmmm. Very strange. All photos are right way up on my laptop and PC. Thumbnails also fine on iPad but there the enlarged photos are screwed.

Right way up on mine too, may be they are reading like the guy with running nose and smelling feet, upside down.

I like the little garden shed to the side - I've been rather disappointed with the aesthetics of the standard Bunnies/Home Hardware sheds...you wouldn't happen to have any more pics of that wee beastie so I can get some ideas to
rip offbe inspired by??? (Basically trying to figure out how they've done the doors).

Here in Canada, I see the lights hanging from what I will assume is the ceiling.
One fine point is to have lights which actually illuminate the work you're doing.
There's a single light bulb in the middle of my shop ceiling. All work stations (miter saw, band saw, drill press) have dedicated lights.
There are others that can be added.
For wood carving, I have an 18W (44LED) focussed lamp on a 48" articulated arm. Illuminating the walls and storage shelves at the same time doesn't help at all.
