That is possible, I did use the etch from legacy that they recommended, rinsed very well, and allowed to dry for 10 days. I did not do the moisture test, at this point I plan to do nothing unless it starts peeling. There is no vapor barrier underneath, so if there is moisture present then I...

I have a 40x60x16 in Oklahoma with 1.5” closed cell on walls and 2” on the ceiling. I recently installed a Mr. Cool Universal 4-5 ton heat pump. So far it is cooling excellent, I have it set on 74 and it easily gets there. I am sure I could cool it off to mid 60’s if I wanted to. I can not...

9 Month Update... around the March timeframe I started getting a few dark spots as seen by the following... I contacted legacy and was told they have not seen anything like this and that they thought it was caused by moisture coming from under the slab. It very well could be, the contractor...

Thank you. I just had a local HVAC sheet metal fab shop make mine. He charged $80. I think the one Yankeefarmer used looks better and is similar in cost.

Hello Yankee, If you look close, the blue object in the drain line is a waterless trap. https://www.deschampstechnologies.com/products/n-series__air-trap.html I decided to use this in the case the regular P-Trap would dry up in the winter months. It looks like a slick design so I figured I'd...

I have a 40x60x16, also in Oklahoma. I have 1.5” closed cell on the walls, and 2” closed cell on the ceiling. I am finishing up my install on a 5 ton Mr. Cool Universal heat pump, should be finished this evening. I will let you know how it works. I chose this system just for the heat because I...

nefarmboy, did you get your install completed? I am curious how the Mr Cool 5 ton is performing as I am interested in the same unit for my 40x60x16. Any feedback/tips would be appreciated.

I just completed the application of 2,400 Sq ft of Hellfire. I figured Id share some pictures so anyone looking at the product could see. This is the Formula 2 version with clear coat. Application was "easy" however doing 2,400 sq ft BY YOUR SELF was very time consuming. I used Legacys...

Thank you for the reply dwegner. Do you have any auxiliary (electric/gas/propane) heat or just the heat pump?

That sounds like a pretty good idea Meathooker, thank you for your input.

Yeldogt, Thank you for the reply. I have not done a load requirement, I have tried to do a few online but haven't been successful. To answer the door question, they have seals on each pane as well as the sides and top seals. I feel that they seal well.

Thank you for your reply Ducksface, I am leaning that way as well. I am thinking of using a traditional heat pump and possibly using an air sock running the length of the shop.

Hello, I need to get some equipment ordered to heat my new shop. I am located in central Oklahoma. We get some teens and 20 degree weather in the winters. The 3 14x14 doors are well insulated and the rest of the shop will be 1-1.5” closed cell spray foam. There is no gas in my neighborhood, so...

Hello, I am wonder what is common to backfill around an above grade slab. Would you use dirt, gravel, or concrete to keep it from washing out? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal
