I just finished hanging 24 of the LOA Walmart fixtures last week. I have issues with 3 of them. One sometimes blinks on and off faster than you can catch it with your eye. And 2 will go out after a couple of hours and relight at the flip of the switch. I'm taking the 3 back tomorrow to...

Good point, mine does run pretty steady when the temps are low. The shop where I work in has a huge heater for the application, and you do feel the constant up and down heat swing at times. Not a big deal but it's there. So the 75K proubly would be ideal, enjoy!

I'd go the 100K for the price difference and wouldn't think twice. I've got a 75K in a 24X44X12 insulated, and it does quite well. But from my experience if I were building a larger shop such as yours I'd bump the size up. Better to have more than you need that not enough. Oh, I live in WA...

I've got a 75,000 BTU natural gas Modine Hot Dawg that I bought from QC Supply 2 years ago. It heats my 24X44X12 detached shop very well, and I live in the northwest. I'd image a 45,000 would do the job with yours, with the low ceiling etc. Very happy with QC I might add.

Hello, they were initially nailed to hold them in place at the time of the pics. They were through bolted before they finished up and sided it. The builder now says he's coming on Monday to look it over. I started fabing up the bracing so I can steady the posts this week. What a pain in the...

Franz, thanks for the drawings, top notch stuff ! It looks to make the most sence out of all the solutions I've drawn out of the woodwork. I did talk with the company I contracted to build the shop today. The salesman and project manager that was in charge of the construction crew will be...

And a few with the settling behind the shop...And the culprit that started it all.

Here are some pics so you can get an idea of the construction, i.e. pole building and trouble....

Franz, You are correct. The contract specialist I talked with deals with multi million dollar projects and spends his fare share of time in the legal arena. He did say I woudn't have a chance in court, but also suggested that just starting the process could get there attention and possibly put...

Spokane....

I’ll try and post some pics as soon as I get a chance. They aren’t that dramatic looking though, an inch or so of settlement doesn’t look like a lot in a pic. The ground behind the shop has settled the most, up to 8” in spots and that’s obvious. I’m confident the sewer was installed properly...

Well, for starters I don’t believe I have any legal angle against the excavator. I took his advice and word that the existing fill would work fine. Do I have any of this in writing ? No he basically did what he was hired to do replace the sewer line. We discussed the settling issue and I...

Thanks for the replys and advice. I am seriously looking for options at this point. The posts are square 8" with a 2X8 bottom girt, all other girts are 2X6. Exterior metal only, no interior as of yet. On the plus side my new heater gets fired up Friday, yea.....So keep em coming, one...

Well the enthusiasm for my new dream shop just took a huge turn for the worst. My #1 mistake was believing what an excavator and the builder told me about fill and compaction. The only location for my new shop had an old sewer line roughly 7 feet underground. My building dept made me replace...

I'd like to hear the same, been looking at both of them.
