Well, it has been awhile since I have given an update. I have been spending all my free time on the shop. It is taking longer than expected (as usual) but we are making very good progress. All the walls are framed, the electrical will be completed by tomorrow. The HVAC will not be done for...

RaceDeck and Motofloor are very similar, they are both made by Snaplock. When I was doing my research I found a thread here at Garage Journal that Jorgen (the CEO of Snaplock) posted the differences in. They were very minor, so both will be an excellent quality floor. There are many...

I highly recommend considering RaceDeck for your garage floor. I recently placed an order for 2500 sq ft of the RaceDeck REVolution for my shop. If you are considering putting down tile in your garage, make sure you call Jorgen at RaceDeck before you make your final decision. Tell him you are...

Here are some pictures that I posted in a thread in the flooring section. I just bought the building and have only had possesion for 2-3 weeks, so we have been gutting it to get ready to start renovations. The pictures were from 1-2 days after I got possession, so most stuff is cleared out...

Thanks for the responses. I am still looking for the best solution. I have an HVAC company looking at the building tomorrow morning to give me ideas and estimates. I am really looking for a permantly installed solution. I am hoping a traditional home furnace / ac unit will be an option, or...

The building definitely needs some work, but structurally it is very solid. It will be worth the work, I had been looking for a building for a couple years when I found this one. It has great potential, it is 2 miles from my home and it has other buildings on the property to produce rental...

I need some recommendations on heating and cooling my shop. It is in Northeast Ohio so it regularly drops below 0 degrees in the winter and climbs over 100 degrees in the summer. It currently has a 300,000 BTU/hr Reznor heater with a cracked heat exchanger (not emitting CO yet), so I will need...

I finally have an update. I closed on the shop last week, it took alot longer than we anticipated since we were waiting on the city. The previous owner left a bunch of junk but we are getting close to having it cleared out, we have hauled over 8000 pounds of junk and scrap metal out so far...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like closing may be pushed back a week or two on the building, but I should have access by the end of November. From the suggestions and further research, I am going to sweep/vacuum the floor to get as much dirt up as possible, then powerwash it using a...

I just purchased a 3200 sq ft building, the sales closes in 2 weeks. It was built in 1950 and used to be a machine shop. There is a layer of dirt/grease 1/8" thick over the entire floor. Before I move anything in, I plan on sweeping it up good, then power washing it with concrete cleaner /...
