I just installed two of the 120" HVLS fans from Parrot Uncle. Think I paid $368/fan with a 15% discount code they emailed me. 16' sidewalls with scissor trusses puts the ceiling height where the fans are mounted at about 20', and they are hanging down on a 4' down-rod. So far I am very...

Amazing how well those collapse! Where did you source the curtains from?

@Wallyman did you ever end up putting this together?

First winter with my radiant floor heat setup. It's a 120k propane condensing boiler heating 3,200sf of concrete. 16' walls with scissor trusses. R20 walls and R55 blown-in ceiling insulation. Concrete is 6" thick with 2" foam board insulation underneath and around perimeter. Thermostat is...

Punch that model into google followed by 'reddit' and you'll get a ton of reviews from folks who are obsessed with this stuff.

Thank you all for responding - sounds like this is all normal and I just need to be patient! Appreciate the advice and feedback.

Just commissioned the radiant floor heat system in my 44x64 shop. 120k btu condensing boiler connected to a pre-made panel from Menards. I have what I believe to be is significant heat loss between the boiler and the manifold. The first significant heat loss appears to be immediately on the...

RM43 applied in the spring and fall will keep everything dead all year.

Go spiral. Buy from a local supply house. It will look sharp.

I purchased my entire materials package through Menards, including their metal. 44x64x16 shop. I bought the regular metal, not the upgraded thicker stuff, and if I had to do it again I would probably go for the thicker material. For an amateur like me screwing into the flat, it's too easy on...

I'm similar. 44x64 + 20x20 bump out. 16' sidewalls with scissor trusses. Lots of volume. I had a local HVAC company come out and hook up a used 4-ton system I found on Facebook Marketplace. Air handler is sitting in the back corner with just a straight vertical run of duct going to an elbow...

Edit: he gave me a number for that, I just didn’t read far enough. 3” closed walls + 3” closed ceiling - $4,100 2” closed walls + 3” closed ceiling - $3,500

Getting the 20x20 “bump out” in the back corner of my shop spray foamed, and these are the option pricing the contractor gave me. Which one would you guys choose? 5” open walls, 3” closed ceiling - $3,000 5” open walls, 7” open ceiling - $2,400 5” open walls, 5” open ceiling - $2,150 3”...

I'm closing in on wrapping up my 44x64x16 shop, which includes a 44x18 loft along one end. Shop is heated and cooled. My shop is intended to be a work space for my hobbies, an entertainment space, and a family hangout space. I'm interested in maximizing the 'family hangout' aspect of that...

Materials package for my 3,200 SF shop with 16' ceilings was $60k from Menards for the basic shell, including windows, man doors, and OH garage doors. I built it on top of a full foundation, which ran around $18k. Slab was another $15k ish. Insulation will end up being around $6k. T&G...
