Looking for some input. I have a 30x40 x13.5 building.Trying to figure out the lights. A RV will be parked inside almost always. The other bay will have a twinpost lift. Someone suggested mounting 8ft stips on the walls at 8ft height. Not so sure I like that idea. Any thoughts on this ?

Just wondering any thoughts on electric boilers? Have 30 x 40 garage, 1800 ft 1/2 inch pex over 2 inch foam board. Electric only options. Haven't done any heat loss calcs. Mayby storage hot water tank???. Planning on keeping building around 55 f in winter.

Trying to get started on 30x 40 here in north east Ohio . My framing guy is pushed back till mid october and I'm still having trouble finding concrete guy. I'm worried about getting started to late in the year . Does anyone have thoughts on that?
