Some great looking buildings on here and thanks for the help everyone! I'm in Nicholasville KY so just a few miles away from you!

Yes sir! I still visit twin net daily even though it's almost dead. Old habits die hard I guess haha. I actually 2J swapped my Z about 5 years ago and lost 3rd gear a couple months back. First project in the new garage is installing my new CD009 trans and built motor to up the boost a little...

Thanks for the help everyone, seems like my next big question to resolve is regarding the bubble insulation and how to approach it. I'll keep my eyes on the thread for any extra tips but for now, I have a good path to continue my research.

Haha, yeah sound deadening would be a really nice bonus. When I get the garage all done, I'll show some more pics of my addictions. Thankfully the house has an attached 3 car garage that's keeping me covered for now :) I really like that mesh/blow in insulation option. I was hoping for an...

Interesting questions. I didn't realize it made a difference but after doing some research, I see that an air gap is required to keep it from just being another conductive layer of metal. The double bubble insulation came with the pole barn and install, so I never really looked into it. I...

Ok great, thanks for your help! I'll check the trusses an see what they're rated for. If I can't find it, I'll just call the truss company. Do you like Sheetrock better than OSB for the ceiling? What size OSB do you recommend? 1/2"?

Dyno pit. I've got a dynojet 224xlc I'm going to put in it when the building is all finished.

Finally got the building finished and working on the inside. I need some advice on walls/insulation. I've done a lot of research on here but still have a couple questions I wasn't able to stumble across through my searching and reading. I'm planning to run a 36K BTU minisplit for heat and...

Thanks for the quick response 8mpg. You think if I get it sealed up properly that the 24K minisplit can handle the heating and cooling duties on it's own? That would certainly be a simpler and cheaper solution than I was planning so that would be great. I've got a friend who does HVAC...

I'm planning to build a 40x40 pole barn with 12' or possibly 14' foot ceiling and the biggest piece of the puzzle I haven't worked out is heat/air and insulation. I live in Central KY and will use the building only part time for mechanic work and car detailing. I estimate I'll spend an...
