Jumping in here as someone else who has been successfully using a Takagi T-H3-DV-P for both domestic hot water and hydronic heat in my 40x88 barndominium for 3 years. I have both sides separated by a heat exchanger and am running 2 zones, with DHW priority. I've been quite happy with the...

SupplyHouse gets another nod from me. Great service, prices, and fast shipping, even to rural areas.

Just received my Wildfire XLT lift on Thursday. Unloaded from the trailer that night before the snow started flying here. Got it up and running yesterday and have been very impressed with the build quality. I waffled a bit on which lift to go with, but couldn't be happier with my decision.

Here's my shop bathroom. The tub/shower gets used mostly for bathing dogs, but it's nice to have the option if I get filthy during a project.

Picture is from October as I scrambled to get everything done before the cold weather hit in NW Montana, but it's been heating my 40x88 nicely for the past few months. Not completely dialed in and there are some things (insulation around the HX, pvc condensate lines, permanent supports for the...

I’ve been affected by this. Ordered 2 doors on May 24th and still waiting… they originally quoted a delivery date in mid August.

I am doing the same thing after getting junk quotes from several local HVAC contractors. I have a multi-story building and a radiant slab, so it's a bit more complicated than a standard post frame building and none of the contractors could justify the system design and sizing when pressed. I...

Good call. I plan on picking up a thermal camera to (hopefully) avoid any issues like that down the road. I will also avoid the lift area entirely.

TONS of good info and things to consider there. Wow!

It is the Stillwater. good eyes! I should have been clearer in the original post. The living area here will be for guests, and possible rental in the future, not for day to day use. That's why the combined access to the workout space and the apartment space exists. I may switch the...

Thanks for the kind words about the model. It was fun it come to life. Not near as fun as the real thing I'm sure, but gotta start somewhere :) The building will be engineered, but the callout for being aware of the load with the 2nd floor is a good one. I spray-foamed my skoolie...

It'll be a good test of durability and longevity!

Agreed. It's a unique design and looks quite functional. Here's to continued progress!

Wow. This is quite the building you've got. Looks like it's coming along nicely and it seems fit in well with the rest of the property. Kudos!

YouTube recommended the video a few days ago, so it was funny to see the related thread here. Cabinets look great (as does the rest).
