Put new skids on snowblower yesterday, lol, we are not predicted to get snow for At least a few weeks, but I had time so. Was I think 9f, plus the bitched wind yesterday, I was miserable. I’ll have to plan for a lift to get the roof and make that next priority

Nice to have a similar state Kaizen—that helps me a bit. I am hesitant to insulate only the walls while the roof bleeds any warmed air up. This helps me with an immediate decision. Next year will be different and the other issues will be buttoned up. Thank you brother

Yes…Currently zero other than tyvek sealed. In Iowa, so rough during January and February, then factor the wind into the mix. Not looking to maintain a temp, just warm it up while working

We put up a 30 x 40 x 12 new shop this year. Been waiting for 10 years so really happy so far. While I have some air seal issues to deal with in the spring (contractor did not use the foam seals underneath the steel roofing), am looking to purchase a heater for this shop. My head goes back to...

Really appreciate these points sparky! Was actually considering using plastic boxes, but almost certain you recommend steel for a reason that matters. Also didn’t think of the mud rings, have seen them but never really knew the application. You starting the easy part is the last points…having no...

I’ll have to trench either way, but idea was to go right from main service panel and knockout lead for shop. Plus I’d be concerned trenching over top of septic line coming from inside house

So have put up a new shop; 30 x 40 x 12. Two 16 x 10 doors, am currently running openers with drop cords so TIME to get this wired. I’ll have to trench from my main utility pole, roughly 30’. I can be capable in running all the wires and connecting outlets/switches, but am stumped on exactly...

Finding this post many years later… I’m unable to see the images but can imagine bigbucky’s looks a lot like mine, as described by bczygan’s commentary. After just building a new shop, the garage is up for a makeover as an additional hangout room. We’ve insulated the walls and covered with OSB...
