Ok guys, wife says I'm off my rocker but I think it makes sense so I figured I'd get a couple more opinions before doing something stupid. :willy_nil Currently, we have a small, big box store, metal garden shed. When we bought the house it was nailed onto a half rotted 2x4 base topped with MDF...

So, since I'm not having any luck finding an HVAC contractor available/willing to look at finishing the radiant system for my shop, I decided to attempt the design myself. I performed a ACCA Manual J calculation using the calculator on builditsolar.com and I know the free stuff online should...

Ok guys, the shop is almost finished and the temps are falling quickly here in SC PA. After the issues I had with the HVAC sub-contractor who tried to screw me over on the insulation, I'm a bit wary of the local guys so I figured I'd start here. Building specs are as follows: 50'x60'x14.2'...

Mods, Is there any way we could make Platonic Solid's "Best Light Fixture Ever" and "Lighting Layout" threads stickies in the Lighting and Electrical sub forum? Those threads are a wealth of knowledge and a very solid starting point for anyone trying to figure out a lighting plan.

Need Help Finalizing Lighting Plan - Now With Layout Well, the electrician pulled power to the shop today and the builder is coming tomorrow to hang the ceiling so its about time I make a decision on my lighting plan. But even after hours of reading through Platonic Solid's threads in here, I...

Well, the concrete was poured over a week ago in my 50'x60'x14' shop. I will be coating it within the next month (after full cure) but at this point I'm still undecided for the floor coating. It will be a densifier followed by either Nohr-S, Rust-Bullet or SPGX. Pictures of the build can be...

After the warm welcome I received in my introduction and "help!" threads, I figured I should probably just go on and make a thread to follow the build progress of my 50'x60'x14' shop. The wife has nicknamed it the Garagemahal because it's bigger than the house. So, after 15 years of working in...

Well guys, I'm at the point of needing to make a decision about flooring for my 50'x60' garage build. The original plan was standard 100% solids industrial epoxy but I'm not sure the weather is going to be conducive to curing epoxy once the slab is fully cured. Also, I'm not sure the epoxy would...

So, the more I read on here and the less I'm liking what the sub-contractor did. Building Specs: 50'x60'x14' Pole frame, glu-lam posts 1x 16'x12' door with power opener 2x 8'x8' manual doors Radiant heat in floor, 9 loops, 1/2" PEX on 12" centers 5" slab with 4'x4'x10" pads for each of the two...

Hello all, New member here from South Central, PA. I've been lurking GJ for years and the collective information here has helped me many times. Now that I'm midway into the build of my Garagemahal, I figured I should finally register for the board. A little background about me, I'm a...

Hi all, sorry for skipping any kind of introduction post but I need some answers and quick since the concrete trucks are coming in 3 days. I'm in the middle of building a 50'x60'x14' shop. The plumber came out and laid the radiant tubes last Friday while I was at work. He used Slabshield...
