yes I was planning on a footing and insulated 2x6 wall to hold up the attic trusses on the inside divider wall. As for a big door I figured the lift would be in the way, I would definitely have a man door somewhere between the two sections though.

44x64 plans Im in the planning stages of a 40x64 stick frame shop. can I get a few comments or suggestions on these rough plans ive been drawing up.

I want new pics of this garage please.

No windows?

any thoughts to doing a 2x6 and 2x4 offset stud wall to reduce the thermal bridging or is the 2x10 better? Im starting a 40x64 in the spring in alberta and also plan on over insulating and doing it once.

another vote for modine. (45000btu) with zero issues after the first winter.

Ya I didnt forget about the efficiency calc. Im just doing this to compare my rough calc for heat losses vs recording the heat loss using my heater run time.

Ordered up an meter. Hopefully it arrives while the weather is still cold so I can see how often its running in this cold snap.

So my garage is already complete but im just curious as to how often my heater runs and how long. I should be able to just use a "Kill a watt" 110v meter on the cord to my modine 45000 btu heater. If I leave it for a week it should have a total kwh used for how often the fan runs correct? Based...

No issues with condensation if I housewrap outside of the styrofoam between the tin?

Hey guys, Im in the process of planning for future shop build and am just running through some design ideas. I am planning on building a 40x60 shop on a 4ft frost wall and just have a question about the wall design. The shop will be broken into a 40x40 which is constantly heated and keep at...

digging up my old thread. So garage is almost complete, I decided to hang a 45000 btu modine forced air unit which heats the garage really well. Now I just want to hook up the slab heat more for just finishing it up than actually using it. If I do use it I will keep the garage at a low temp...

im having a tough time finding someone to help me with the heat loss calc(i know more heat is required with the air exchanges for the humidity). Glycol will be mandatory. And I was planning on using the waterproof insulated pex if that was the route I went, that way I would have a little more...

Hello there, Just found this forum and have been searching alot. I am in the process of building a 24x28 garage in Alberta. I want to have the slab heated and maybe also use a reznor 60000 FA unit for quick recovery. now here we are, 1) In Alberta I believe that a domestic HWT cannot be...
