    Boiler Heat or Minisplits?

    I am renovating a 1958 brick ranch. The house has baseboard/floor propane fueled boiler heat and forced air AC in the attic. Both units are from the early 90s and they do work, but are obviously dated. We are doing a full renovation of the house and are considering doing away with the boiler...

    Critique My 40x60 Pole Barn Build! -Pictures Included

    I appreciate everyone's thoughts. There is about 50' between the front of the building and the road. There is no room to put the building behind the house as there is a huge hill and the lower level is in the flood plain. I only have 14' side walls, so I do not think 14' overhead doors are an...

    Will sulfur water damage a pressure washer?

    I surprisingly could not find anything about this topic on google, which makes me think it is a non-issue. That said, I know sulfur water is hard on copper, so I wasn't sure if it affects pressure washers or not?

    Critique My Pole Barn Build!

    Thanks for the input everyone! Thanks for your thoughts! I am in NW Ohio. The doors will be facing the south, so drifting snow should not be too much of a concern. 18' wide doors is the widest available to me by the installer. Yes, I do.

    https://www.sealtoledoconcrete.com/ This is the website for the company who gave me the verbal quote. I think the fact the the building will be brand new with fresh concrete may have kept the cost down? I am not 100% sure on all the details regarding the product they offer, but they do seem...

    How well do commercial epoxy floors hold up?

    I am going to be putting up a 40x60 barn. I figured it would be good to epoxy the floor when it is new and has not been contaminated with oil, dirt etc. I am thinking going with a commercial epoxy like they use in car dealerships would be a good option. I have been quoted around $3 per...

    Please Vote On Which Pole Barn Setup You Think Is Best!

    I am thinking 14' sidewalls with 12' high doors. The rear of the property is south-facing so doors on that side would let in a good amount of light when opened. Weather protection is not much of a concern. I personally can't see turning the building at a 45 degree angle. It seems to me the...

    Please Vote On Which Pole Barn Setup You Think Is Best!

    If I did the side load, I would plan on driving in the leach field if it isn't wet. Also, I do have a side by side UTV that could be used to back trailers in when the leach field is too wet to drive on with a truck. Wind is not an issue where I am. I agree, backing trailers in and out will...
