I just got a quote last night for $6440 for 1768sq ft. That includes removal of existing, fill, grading and asphalt.

Which company did your concrete work?

I agree, Afer purchasing I almost immediately through the torch in the garbage. The foot pedal upgrade is almost a must as well. I did the "make an offer" thing on their website and about 10 minutes on the phone with them they shipped it to my door with the cart for $1450

I am going to piss off the purist here and recommend the Everlast machine. I had a Dynasty 200 which was an awesome machine until I had HF start issues. After many attempts to resolve the issues and very little useful help from Miller I found a buyer who wanted the machine as a portable jobsite...

Interestingly enough I used a flexible appliance line from my supply line to my hanging heater when I did my gas install. The inspector came out and told me he wanted to see black pipe up to the heater. He also was the one that said even though my county permits the use of the CSST he would like...

I was running two electric heaters in my 1200sqft shop with 12ft ceilings and it did the trick, except that during the -10 to 0 days it was running near 100% duty cycle to keep it at 50. On days where it was 30-40 it was perfect. I decided to go natural gas just because I could clear up some of...

No, it was tip... It is a shop necessity

Buy a machinery handbook!!! I have two at my desk at work, one in my garage and one at my desk at home.

Please keep in mind that I am just an mechanical engineer. some of the HVAC guys on here really have good rules of thumbs about estimating energy consumption. This is not my industry, I am just an arrogant engineer that refuses to pay anyone to do his work.

assuming .0753*5 would be .3765/hr/ea * 2(heaters) = .753/hr. giving you roughly 34k BTU I couldn't get a good picture of your heat loss or total mass to heat without more information about your space. I would think if it doesn't get much hotter than 40 outside for you that your typical 20...
