New Benefit The garage is alway cool like 60.... The last two days where well over 75, like 80 and today 85 with very high humidity. The garage is nice and cool at 60-65 when I get home at 5pm... :rocker:

Luke's right.... I had to go to so many permit meetings I am now ON the zone/city committee. We only meet when someone wants to do something that break a city ordinance. So not often in Crestline..... stigedis = I can make electicity, I can't make NG and use it....LOL Size is a major bonus...

Radiant barrier under the roof and anywhere sun light hits the building would help alot as well. If it was me, I would radiant barrier the inside of the roof. Double bubble between the rafters. Slap up a ceiling 2Ft on center. 10 2x4's @ $3. Drywall. 5 sheets @ $7. Cellulose at R19 for 8x10...

:thumbup: what highbeam said!!! and why pay more? $27.00 / 32sqft = $0.84 a sqft... so you would be paying 16% more to trust a contractor....... (if all is well, and doesn't destroy the concrete floor) If you have building codes/ inspections ask them (most say no)

how much insulation everywhere else? have you done a heat loss calculation? I am thinking that linked heater will be on the too big side.....it will depend on what your heat losses are....

if your foam is good it will hold the staples just fine.

update: Radiant heat is up and running awesome.... HydroShark 3 7Kw.... been running for 3days perfectly I plan to build a arduino web based datalogger , I have the parts.... but Car issues with the daily drivers have piled up. Spending lots of time working on cabinets and shelving and...

I went to three auctions before that one. Yeah, they all went for more then a new one. This one is pretty much new and went for less...... auctions....:headscrat Thanks everyone for the compliments.... I am doing to shelving and cabinets right now. I will post before I drywall and paint them.

So if I ask a question or create a topic. And most of the answers I get are wrong or is going to cost me time and money. Since I asked the questions? I probably don't know that they are bad ideas(thats why I asked). No one should correct them? Or show evidence to the contrary? If that is...

Poles where my choice for the most insulation without spending that much more. 8' apart. ranged from 16 to 20 feet long, I am on a slight hill. I had to add about 120 tons of stone to get it really level, so the poles are a little farther in the ground towards the alley, big woop. cut them...

Rust: what size is your garage, may I ask?

I never mind suggestions at all...but I am thinking that I am just wasting my time trying to give free engineering facts...

Frankush.... You need to read the links...

Sh40674 Hopefully this will help you choose and insulation method and maybe your heat source. using this.....http://www.builditsolar.com/References/Calculators/HeatLoss/HeatLoss.htm 28' x 28' x 8' building, with r-13 in walls and ceiling, I filled out nothing for windows or doors because I...
