wow. thanks for all the replies. just for some info, since lots of different opinions came up, i like to work on cars, trucks , boats and firearms. i dont know much about framing or any of that and don't really care to. i had a buddy help me frame the 15x17 room a few months ago and i'm just...

So , my friends and I built a 15x17 room in the corner of my pole barn. Its time for me to hang a man door and these are the frame dimensions: 35 3/8 WIDTH 83 3/8 Height When looking at doors on Menard's website is lists the following: 32" Door: Rough opening : 34" x 82 1/2" 34" Door...

Yeah i was pleased with the work as well. No, I don't remember it sweating then and it doesn't sweat now. My barn is 30x50x12 , for now I'm just using a 80k kerosene heater when Im working out there. Im in the process of framing out a 15x17 room in the back corner that will be heated and cooled.

yeah DC Metal did my building. yours?

im in southern, IN and had a pole barn built in January. I had the same problem with my concrete but, I dont remember my walls sweating at all. Here is the thread I started: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275020 It doesn't do that anymore, concrete stays pretty dry. The...

I have a 30x50x12 pole barn that I am currently building a 15x17x8 room in one corner. The room has two exterior windows and will be well insulated on the walls, but no insulation on the ceiling. My plan is to mount a through the wall AC/Heat unit like this one...

Thanks for the reply , i dont really want to mess with changing out propane tanks. From doing some more research I dont think the electric heater will be very cost efficient to run. Other than the pellet stove , I have been looking at these...

my 30x50x12 was just finished recently. I did one big door (20x10) and am glad i did, i like it much better than two smaller ones.

I have a 30x50 pole barn i will be wiring for lighting soon. Here is a pic so you guys can see how it lays out: These are the 8ft tandem lights I will be using...

so its been about 16 days since the concrete was poured and it still has some moisture over much of it. is there anything i can do right now that would dry it out so i can get some work done in there? the floor is very slick when its wet.
