    Running the heat pump or furnace in the winter?

    Looking to get moving on 30x28 stick build in TX

    Looking to get moving on 30x28 stick build in TX

    I think I’d prefer 30 x 30, just have to see what the all in $$$’s are. Should have plenty of headroom, at the moment planning on a regular 8’ then also a 12 x 10 or should I go 12 x 12 or?

    Been in discussion with contractor on 30x28 or 30x30 stick build, he’s scheduled to come by tomorrow or next day with drawings and cost. Been reading about all the shops and builds posted here, so much good information and ideas. Looking forward to sharing our build.
