    heating for garage 30x40x12 / what are my options ? 1200sqft

    i'm researching the kind of heat for my barndo right now with a shop size the same as yours. My local HVAC guy said mini split is great until the temps get way down to below zero and they can stop working. I'm in Oregon and in my location it's rare but can happen. So i'll probably put in a wood...

    Above 1200 Sq/FT My forever and retirement barndominium build in Oregon

    Above 1200 Sq/FT My forever and retirement barndominium build in Oregon

    Well after a divorce and losing most everything in my life, and saving every scrap and penny for the last 2.5 years, my goal of building a forever and retirement home in the form of a barndo-minium is coming soon. Barndo is a fancy term for "I can't afford a house AND a shop" I look forward and...

    For a 30x40 shop, trying to choose a 2 post lift. This company has a huge sale but is it legit?

    thank you for the clarification. I'm not looking past the 'obvious scam', just curious to see if others have used it. perhaps they wouldn't admit it lol I sent a note to Aston on fb about this site, maybe they'll respond. Yeah obviously i'm not going to fall for it but who can blame a guy for...

    shopping by brand for the best price or value is as old as time itself. I appreciate the sentiment but that's good advice for a youngling who doesn't know anything.

Seems like prices are up, but here's a place with HUGE discounts. Too good to be true is my first thought also. For example they have...

    Shop Basics - The Over Looked Items

    great thread. For mine i created a 'safety corner' near the main door. Eye pro, ear pro, Fire extinguisher, 1Aid Kit, both located where the shut off for power and gas was located(nat gas industrial type heater).
