Got almost everything done just need a bit more tin and plywood. Heat is plumbed and operational finally. So close!

Few diff. quotes i got were double that plus shipping for the wide rolls i just said forget it. Never heard of bay insulation wish i did when i was looking. Seems awful cheap though.

I hear you, it can def get messy with waste oil while the ir heaters are basically no maintenance. Yes i have drums of oil lining one side of my shop all year. If i run out of oil i just run #2 fuel oil which is just a phone call away. Pros and cons to both but ir sounds like it better suits you

+1 for clean burn units. I have 2 cb 2500's both in pole barns. ive never had an issue with either of them, and ill admit i slack on servicing them. Both shops are bodyshops also. No oil contamination whatsoever. Tank is indoors, if outdoors you need to thin the waste oil with diesel or fuel...

1700 sqft of vinyl faced r19 4' wide rolls were about 3 times the cost of this, although easier to install, i see no advantage. Yea its got a vapor barrier, who cares. Put 6 mil plastic up for 100 bucks and you have the same thing.

Haha i hear ya, my wife got me for carriage doors and cupola..Gotta keep em happy brother !

Those grinders make one hell of a mess def wear a good mask. Cool shop

On an unrelated but m-effin awesome note ! i finally got my jarvis extended ported barrel in for the vp9 w/ match weight, got my little 4 pointer skull back from hydro dip and got me a new truck, Overall fantastic few weeks. My old toyota tundra served many miles (300,000) it was finally time...

Got some stuff done so ill toss a few pics up. Ceiling is done with 1200sqft of r38 unfaced up top, electric is done for now, inside lights installed 6 lamp t8's, lift installed and operating bendpak 10k symmetric, compressor installed wired and plumbed just waiting on my dessicant filters...

Really nice build. Perma columns are a great idea, wish i knew about them when i did my barn!
