getting my garage spray foamed this week and will then plan to paint it. Any suggestions for a specific paint? Im probably doing white

A couple more pictures that might be helpful

No plumbing in loft is planned. I always like to make reasonable accommodations for "possible" future use but I don't really see that one happening.

great info. thank you!

I asked my GC buddy about that and his concern was that it could stink at ground level vs up top where no one will smell it. Granted- he's not a plumber!

I just had my building built and I had them rough in plumbing to the concrete just in case I want a bathroom there in the future.. I intend to put a loft over this someday maybe bathroom. What steps would you take to finish off this bathroom before putting the loft in above it if you really...

Appreciate the reply. did you go with open or closed cell? I'm now considering two (2 ton) minisplits. One on either end of the building.

thank you for the reply. valuable insight!

I have designed a 30x55x16 metal building pictured here. I am wondering two things: 1- What would you recommend for spray foam in Florida on walls and ceilings? (depth and type) 2- After spray foaming it- might I be able to expect a 3 ton mini-split to keep it comfortable? I'm not talking...

I'm in the process of placing an order very soon for a metal building (30wx50lx16h with an added 15ft wide lean-to for the RV.) that will act as a workshop and a carport for my RV. I have gone back and forth on using tubular steel or i-beam type metal structure. I live in Northeast Florida on...

its very hot and humid here. i would think it might benefit from the airflow but im open to being wrong!

you are exactly right. I am very leery of this myself. I'm going to try to tuck it in as much as i can. i think they are ugly myself and i actually had a builder who told me it'd bring down my property value if I went metal. He was trying to to sell me a timber build though

absolutely. although i think's id have to do this on the DL. this is a residential area. I'm on over 2 acres though so realistically it should be a problem other than the pesky city inspectors. i might have to roll my own

Thats a nice building. I like that a lot. Thanks for the tips. what do you mean by post spacing? is there any flexibility where the legs go down?
