Thanks for the replies. I must have forgotten to mention I have a lift installed and wired up. The compressor plug is in as well. I installed in floor heating tube (PEX) in the slab when it was poured but have yet to decide how to heat it. I have thought about adding a three way switch between...

Hey all! Couple questions for ya's. My 36'X40' shop is going to be insulated this weekend so I need some last minute advice on what I should prewire for before insulating. What I have done now is wiring for 28 flourescent lights controlled by 3 switches, receptilcles above each 10'X10' door for...

I built my 36X72 shop/barn last summer by myself. Had buddies in the heavy equipment business put in my driveway and dig my footings. I built the footings. Had another brick layer buddy lay the blocks on a weekend. I did all the framing including the gambrel style trusses. I hired some buddies...

Cword. I'm in Canada as well. Would you mind giving up the details of your system as well how large you shop is? I have a 36X40' shop with red PEX installed. Nothing is hooked up yet. I have an oil fired hot water tank and was thinking about trying to use it. Cheers! Sid

Hey all! Spring looks like it's here as well as the rain. Last summer I built a 36X72 barn/shop. I have yet to insulate and am glad I didn't. I sheeted the exterior with green steel and white trim. I used vynil "J" trim around the windows and doors. I have noticed that rain is getting inside the...

I agree with what eveyone is saying but what you should do is contact your local electrical inspector and see what says. He is the person you have to please in the end so let him tell you what you need. I just recently finished a shop about the same distance away as you. In 5 minutes he told me...

Thanks for all the opinions people. I appreciate it. Will this stuff stand the test of time or last as long or perform as long as pink? Cheers! Sid

Hey all! Looking to pick your minds for a minute. I'm starting to think about insulating my 36'X40' shop. I have a full second floor above my shop. The floor joists are 2"X10" on 2' centers. Money is getting very tight now so I'm weighing all my options. A buddy suggested that I put up vapour...

Ahhhhhhhh! Didn't realize I could get insulation that size. None of my suppliers even suggested that. Thanks for the info! Cheers! Sid

Hey all! I'm about to start insulating my shop I built this summer. I have a full second story above the shop for storage and such. The second floor is made up of 5/8" T&G plywood on top of 2X10 floor joists. I plan on heating the down stairs but not upstairs. So when I insulate the ceiling in...

Hey all! I am hoping some of you would help me out fort a min. Gett'in ready to build some stairs but the stairs has to fit in a certain area. I want the stairs to go up 4 or 5 steps to a landing then turn left and go up to the second floor on my shop/barn. I have 163" from the concrete floor to...

Here's a pic of the door panels that are cut out of the type of door that is seem in the pic. Cheers! Sid

I agree 100% with HoosierBuddy. What I did was use discarded exterior door cutouts. The piece that is cut out when installing a window in. A picture is attached. It cost me $350 cash CDN to cover my floor cpmpared to $2100 taxes included to use styrofoam SM. SM is R10 where the door panels are...

Would you mind pssing on some info on that opener? Cheers! Sid

Here's mine just before the pour looking to the west. Cheers! Sid

That must a cost a mint to run the hydo in that far.

Glad to see as I'm ready to buy wire for my new shop. Hope that it has come down thye same up here in Canada. Cheers! Sid

We did the pour on Saturday. 19 cubic meters. PEX is still holding the air pressure fine. I was worried about that PEX the whole time we were pouring. Spent sunday and monday continually keeping the concrete wet. Cheers! Sid

Hey Dave, I paid 0.30 cents per foot CDN. You are about 2 hrs south of me. I'm a little west of the Thousand Island bridge obviously on the Canadaian side. I don't know much about installing the PEX either. The more I read and talk to people the more it seems what is most important is to keep...
