My never ending Dodge Charger restoration.

Good to see some numbers on it. I really have no handle on that. The roof is very well insulated, most of the walls bar one also, though i intend to rectify that. TBH, this is the way im leaning at the moment. Adding thickness to the floor has quite a lot of additional issues/cost.

I didn't actually say the size, but its about 20 x 28. A new slab will mean demolition of the building :( Not really going to happen.

:thumbup:

Hmmm, bit of a conflict of opinion there then! I guess insulating round the side will be worthwhile, but it wont be the cheapest system to run! I havn't ruled out laying insulation over the existing floor, but as per my original post, i cant find anything anywhere on the internet ref what i...

But how cool are they :)

Indeed, i have looked into this. Just how much heat will i lose into the slab, compared to if it was insulated though. Sounds like an expensive way to burn money? Or am i wrong?

Excellent, sounds like perimeter insulation needs doing regardless. Not to difficult either i guess. But, "if" i wanted to go with floor heat, just what is the minimum concrete thickess i can get away with over the insulation? Or could i just ignore that too. How much heat would i lose...

Mmmm, interesting. So what you are really saying is that most of the thermal loss/gain is sideways rather than downwards? The only flaw is that the slab is, on one side, up against a retaining wall, because the garage is about 3ft above the ground that side. I understand floor heat is not fast...

20 years ago i built what is now my workshop. Sadly i was young and foolish at the time, and, to cut a long story short, the slab was laid without any insulation under it, or for that matter any form of moisture control. Fast forward to today, im now looking at refurbising the workshop. (new...

Thats looking better :)

This is sweet! Loving the pinball machine ;)

Hello from buckingham. Good to see someone local.

Looking to grind/level the floor in my buisness workshop using a floor grinder. All the ones i have looked at hiring (im in the UK) dont have any thing to prevent dust. Seems to be the norm :( As i'll be doing it in stages in a working workshop, my question was can i keep the floor wet to keep...

Had similar on a garage years ago. Id just insulate between your joists and then board it over. Makes a huge difference.

:hellobye:

Me, im in Buckingham :)

Well, ive been lurking for a while, but thought it was time i said hello. Mostly been getting inspiration for when i refurbish my workshop, though that wont be soon as i have a long term restoration project to complete and then move out of the way first.

Nice work so far. floor looks good. What is the roof, asbestos sheeting?

Im guessing you are in the UK? Try Watco for epoxy. Ive just used some at work to patch up some worn areas that we did 5 years ago with the same stuff. Its lasted well, given that its a commercial operation so very hard daily use. They do a number of different versions, but just go for the most...
