I have one in my 24 X40 shop and really like it. I also have infloor heat from a Hydro Shark electric boiler. I keep my shop at about 46 F and use the stove when I want to be in the shop working. I find that the floor heat is nice but the wood stove is great to raise the temperture up quickly...

Bgarrett- My brother -in-law just finished up a slab/pole building. He poured the pad and then we placed the poles on the concrete and fastened them down with L brackets bolted to the pole and then we used a drill and drilled holes in the concrete and put two more bolts into the concrete that...

Going to run a copper airline for my plasma and other tools. Does it matter if the regulator is first in lone from the compressor or should the filter come first ?

PC06- Thanks for the info , I'll give that a try first.

PC06- I have the yellow dryer from PA as well. I am moving it to my new shop along with the compressor. For some reason I thought it was suppose to be mounted 20 feet away from the compressor so the air cooled down prior to entering the dryer. Have you had any problems with it close to the...

I am going to be starting up my radiant heat system in my shed in the next couple of weeks. I am using a Hydro Shark boiler from Menards and the anti- freeze/water mixed at 50/50. Out on the farm our water is fairly hard and leaves the calcium build up in our hot water heater that causes...

I"ve got a 24 X 24 garage at the house and thats where the daily drivers go. My "shop"(24 X 40) has my '69 GMC 1/2, atvs, motorcycles and tools. To appease my wife when building the "shop" I also added a 10 x 24 foot green house on the back. The greenhouse addition wasn't planned but I was...

I was up on my metal shop roof finishing up putting the roof cap in place on a early October morning. There was some slight dew still on the roof sheets and just had running shoes on. I stepped on one sheet and next thing I know I'm sliding down the roof. As I have a row of spruce trees that run...

Fatfender- I purchased the Hydro Shark 3 at Menards in Minot, North Dakota for about $420.00 on sale. I think they are now about $449.00. I purchased my circulating pumps on line as well as all the valves, pressure tank, y strainer, etc. I priced out the Menards "board" that they sell with all...

Fatfender- Yeh I priced the boiler out at BA and for the 9-10kw one it was about $1200.00. I got the 9.6kw Hydro Shark for about $420.00. Like to shop at home but too much of a cost difference.

Fat Fender- looks good, what kind of heater are you using with the Pex install? I have a 24X40 shop and hopefully next week will be getting a friend to help me hook up the heaater. I found a Hydro Shark 3 boiler ( 9.6 kw) that should do my space. As I am just east of Brandon ,Man. looked out and...

Those look great- hope you don't mind, might "steal" the idea for a couple around the yard here too.Good Job.

I have a 24 X 40 shed that I am planning on installing some flourescent lights in. I have seen the typical positioning of the tubes running lengthwise with the building. My problem however is that the company that drywalled the ceiling wanted to strap the ceiling with 1X4's prior to putting the...

Keyblazer, what size roller did you use and what was the density of the roller-fine course, medium?? You did an awesome job, how many coats??

Nice set up. Your garage is the same size as mine. For some reason like everyone says I thought it looked huge when I built it and once I have started adding benches, atv's etc it fills up fast. Nice work benches and cabinets. I am 2 hrs straight west of Winnipeg and didn't see any insulation...
