Nice garage and Caprice! I really like the loft idea. Where did you get your corrugated metal?

Thanks for all the info guys, I really appreciate it! I have requested info from the leads you guys gave me. If anybody else has any input on this type of heat source please post it up, thanks Jeremy

Oh also does it do a good job of heating the garage evenly?

I am building a stick built 36x42, 10 ft walls and scissor trusses in one end for a lift. I am looking for a good even heating system which I can run regularly at 50 to 60 in the winter and turn up a bit when out there. I only have the choice between LP and Electric for fuel. I am looking at...

Looking into radiant tube heaters now. I was hoping some of you guys who have them could tell me 1. How you like them 2. Brand you're using 3. Size/burner setup used 4. Size of shop you are heating Thanks, Jeremy

I think you hit it on the head with the space issue. I was shopping lifts and in my case with the garage I'm building and location of the lift I have decided to go with the narrower one. This keeps the footprint smaller and leaves me more working space along the sides. If you have the extra...

Great looking shop...It's funny I was checking out your cars and garage and was thinking we have a lot of the same taste in style and build even though I wasn't even born in until the 80's, I love classic chevy muscle and have a 62 Gmc, but then I saw the mini bike and I thought we must be...

Interesting, I have not considered this, I'm assuming you are referring to the Propane tube heaters that hand from the ceiling? Can you suggest a manufacturer to check into? Do they have to run the length of the building to supply heat? I forgot to mention one end of my shop will have scissor...

Not a ton of full on car painting, but I do a lot of parts painting when working on my old cars and I have an old truck that I plan on painting myself I don't mind spending more money up front if it will save me in the end, I'm looking at the long haul as we plan on staying in this home...

Thanks for all the replies so far. Natural gas is not available to me. I am not really familiar with the hanging furnaces (Reznor/Hot dawg), so bear with me... Are they thermostatically controlled? Could you run them to maintain a steady temperature through winter? Also, is my understanding...

Hello, I am laying out the plans for my new garage this spring with a contractor. All along I have been thinking I would try to put in a radiant floor heat system, but the more I look and think about it, I am not sure if this would be the best set-up for me. My main goal is efficient heating...

WOW, that's too bad, I'm looking to build this spring and that looks like a really cool design that I've never seen before. Definitely not worth having to deal with that **** though. Looks like you did a nice job of making it work in the end though, I'd definitely be fighting them to the end...

Thanks for all the info, I still didn't catch who the manufacturer for this kit is? Very interesting structure. It looks like something a couple guys could handle putting up. Is the exterior steel sided?

Cool shop, who makes the building? Was it a kit?
