CNG -- I am happy with the size choice. Mini split is where I am leaning. I didn't plan to have so much into the space! Duct work doesn't sound the best! But, I haven't figured it out yet. We have the cheapest power in the country. No not concerned with ac at this time..swamp cooler hooked to a...

Rich, I am located in Moses Lake. They finished up most of the siding yesterday.

I am looking for advice on the ceiling lighting. I am interested in LED recessed 4-5 bulb fixtures. Lithonia? has some available through home depot, I will also check the wholesale suppliers locally. I am running a 400A service into the building. Any input on heating for the 60'x50 shop would...

This is how the shop sits today. I have the man door frames to be installed today, and garage doors soon. The plan was to match my house siding and trim exactly however the difference between cement board and cement board shake siding was giant. So I am going to use the cement board above the...

WA State Shop Build For the concrete I went with 6" 6.5 sack with rebar at 16" with 12' crack reducing cuts. I don't know if this was the perfect choice or not..I know I wouldn't have wanted to spend more money. I really wanted glycol floor heat..however when I was about to pull the $12k...

The huge Garage doors are needed but maybe not the second 2 big ones. People I met with always told me they had 14x14' doors...turns out they didn't! These things are huge and expensive.

Hey Guys. All the windows...we get a lot of sunshine here from the rear of the shop so I put in 5x3' windows on the rear 8' to the bottom where the after 3PM sun shifts for the natural light. The 8 windows in the front..that is a little overboard however much like Cline mentions that will be...

Foundation work.

I like to get 3rd and 4th opinions on choices I make so I will be posting some photos of my shop build. All opinions are valued. There have been very hard choices but now I see the light the only thing in between is the money.
