    Metal Building AC Sizing 40x40 TX

    I don't expect to run it all day every day, at least while I have a day job. Planned usage is expect long wrenching days, so kick it on in the am and let it run at most all weekend. Also thinking I need a wifi theromstat so I can adjust the time from inside the house and not have to go out there.

    Metal Building AC Sizing 40x40 TX

    I'm not aiming for meat locker, but I've got 3 total uninsulated doors: two 10x10 and one 12x12. Thanks for the data point!

    Metal Building AC Sizing 40x40 TX

    First HVAC contractor I talked to quoted me a 3 ton unit, but stepping up to a 3.5 or 4 doesn't seem like an awful idea with the high ceilings and big doors.

    Metal Building AC Sizing 40x40 TX

    I talked to one local HVAC contractor and they recommended a 3 ton central system, which seemed smaller that I would have guessed. Thanks for the input!

    Metal Building AC Sizing 40x40 TX

    Like 2 24k or 2 36k? Any particular reason to run multiple smaller units vs a bigger mini split vs a ducted unit?

    Metal Building AC Sizing 40x40 TX

    I'm working on a 40x40x14 metal building as a garage/car shop, and I'm looking for input on AC sizing. It is insulated with 2" of closed cell spray foam, has 6 windows, and is located in Central TX (hot, sunny, and humid). I've run some online calculators, and I'm getting results anywhere from...

    Epoxy vs Polyurea base coat with polyaspartic top coat

    My franchise didn't say anything about annual inspections. I used him partially on a recommendation by a fellow guy buddy who has known him for years and used him in his own garage. There is no franchise local to me, he is about 75 miles away, so hopefully that doesn't impact my ability to get...

    Epoxy vs Polyurea base coat with polyaspartic top coat

    Here are pics after the floor was done. As I said, the flake inconsistency is not a big deal and you can't really see it when there are cars and **** inside.

    Epoxy vs Polyurea base coat with polyaspartic top coat

    I ended up going with the Garage Experts with all grey. This floor isn't as "pretty" as their more colorful options, but I was worried about losing dropped bolts on the floor with anything more colorful. The finish is good, but certainly not amazing. I'm not sure if that's because the top...

    Epoxy vs Polyurea base coat with polyaspartic top coat

    Thanks for the offer, that is super generous! I'm in Aggieland, so you aren't far away at all. I'll have to check on the number of top coats. I believe you are correct in that there is no 'primer' layer: the epoxy is the bottom coat. My sales guy was pushing hard for the flakes. His...
