Here is the opposite thought to people who live in area that are prone to sustained power outages. Pick a room in your house that will be your "after the storm room". You need to be able to separate it from the rest of the house (door or heavy blankets covering the entrance). In that room you...

I have 6500/5000W generator. Last power outage that lasted more than a few hours I was running 5 refrigerators and a freezer. 3 of them were on cords over 100' !

I think the key is you will need 2 complete units. Mount one on each side !

Any chance you can change the male end to something more common (check NEMA charts) ?

MHF requires conduit inside of a building.

At my brother-in-law's place, they left all of that in place and just butted the new drywall up against it. You barely even notice it !

I was just at my brother-in-laws house. Probably over 100 yo. The prior owner did some thing like this and it came out nice !

I there a breaker panel in the garage ?

I have never seen them set near the bottom. Either they are on small standoffs or on top of wire mesh also spaced off the bottom. With wire mesh you may be able to use less concrete.

If you do, you absolutely must put down a vapor barrier !

That is a huge space ! Is the living space walled off and insulated from the rest of your shed ? Both of these areas are good candidates for a mini-split heat pump system. Easy installation compared to forced air with A/C. You will need 2 air handlers and a system that will let them run...

Mitsubishi Ecodan I'm not sure if it is sold in the US. Edit: Sold in the US, but uses chilled water for cooling so NO DEHUMIFICATION !

Looks like an L6-20 to me.

For profit, meaning you are going to sell it, or are you going to run a business from it ? If you are selling the building, just go with gas forced air. Recovery time has a lot to do with how cold the interior got ! Use a set back thermostat and don't go below 55°F. 2" will slow down heat...

Good to know !!!

This could be "ghost voltage". You need to check the voltage across a small load (7W bulb) or use a meter with a low impedance (Lo Z) setting.

I know I am late to the game but I want to make one quick comment. If you are planning to run refrigerant and water lines inside the walls, the wall should be a minimum 6" (2x6) even on interior walls. It will make your installation easier.
