When using that style bracket make sure to add diagonal bracing to your walls. What are you doing for footings under your poles?

For every gallon of propane you burn as a by product the heater puts out a gallon of water. So a ventless heater puts all that water vapor into the air. Causing rust and mold.

30' don't leave much room if you put benches or shelving along the walls. I think 32' or 34' is the sweet spot. I have a 30x48 and my dad has a 30x30. I would of went wider but I bought a used building so not much I could do. I think in today's prices 50k is going to be pretty tight unless you...

Are the floor joists an I-joist like this picture or are they 2x material?

I would poke a hole in the ceiling and through bolt your 2x to the ceiling/floor joists. Those angle brackets aren't designed to be structural. Also need to know what the joists are made out of. If they are the I-beam type, they are not meant for any more load than drywall on the bottom of them.

There should not be condensation dripping outside. That should be dripping inside. Is it a heatpump and stuck in reverse flow for heating?

I think for a 12' wide door you'd want to go with bi-fold carriage doors. I like the looks of them but don't think I'd like to use them regularly.

I don't know why you couldn't split the core fill up. But I wouldn't want any cold joints in any of the cores. I'd make sure you fill what ever core you're filling all the way up. I'd do the lintel in one continuous pour, no cold joints in that.

To me sounds like bad/dirty connection or bad battery. Leaning towards bad connection. You're loosing a tenth of a volt without a load. When you turn the key on you put a minimum amount of load on it and are dropping to 7 volts. I'm sure it drops even more when you try to start it. Check the...

You said the check valve was bad. If there is a check valve in line how is the oil going to drain back? Are you sure what you replaced was a check valve?

I agree with 9' minimum door width.

You can use a side mounted trolley opener on torsion springs but generally a door with extention springs will bind when being pulled from the side.

The foam strips are to keep bugs and other creatures out of your building if you use pulling without sheeting. Since you used sheeting all the foam strips are going to do is keep water unde the roof if you get any there. I'm no roofer but I think you wouldn't use them if you sheet the roof. I...

I know nothing about that jack or hydraulic dampers. 30wt oil seams awful thick to me. Are you sure they didn't mean something like aw-32 or some other hydraulic oil?

Here is a really good Facebook group with a lot of knowledgeable people in it. https://m.facebook.com/groups/windowstandards/?ref=share
