Central FL 24 x 24 stick-built garage. I have attic trusses that are 2x6 and the soffits are vented. Currently I do not have drywall on the ceiling so its pretty open. There is no insulation for the roof and it gets pretty warm during the summer so I am looking for the best way to do this...

The cable is in conduit buried in the ground

That's a good point, now that I think about it the power company just changed our meter last month (IIRC) to one of the new fangled automatic readers..... I will look into this

I don't *think* its the dehumidifier, the building has been in place for some time, and prior to the electric being run to the shop the same dehumidifier had been running off of an extension cord. The electric bill was slightly higher running it, but not $200 a month higher.

I'm in coastal NC

I had electrical installed in my 18x26 building back in the late part if last year. I'm running 4 awg so a sub panel from the main panel at the house on a 60a breaker (professionally installed). The shop is only lit when I am using it (8 t8 double bulb fixtures) and the only other thing on is...

Great little heater, I've had mine for about two months now and love it

Any others that have any insight, or "I would do it this way" feel free to add your $0.02

No, these are how they come. I work with these everyday. They are extremely nice setups. $3500 seems steep for the condition, unless it comes with the tools and the foam liners we get them with.

I will be sure to, I Wont be starting on it for about another month, but I will probably start a new thread when I do.

Are you saying I should or shouldn't leave a gap? The polyISO is faced. This is repurposed stuff from an industrial building that I will be getting.

You lost me on the "belts and braces " comment, thought it's been an extremely long day.... There will be a window unit or two used for the a/c, and a torpedo heater for the winter for the time being. Ventilation will be via a fan in the eave for times when only circulation is needed. The...
