No soup for you.Come back in one year!

And you will lose that bet. So why don't I have condensation while you are so sure that I do?

I have a 32' x 48' shop with 1500' of 1/2 and am using a Takagi T-KJr2U. What would be a good supply temp? Currently my shop is 68 with 100 supply and 77 return and 2.4 gpm.The outdoor temp is 35 if that is of any interest.

Might be for thawing frozen switches.

You will also need sufficient compression.

There was case backhoe that burned to the ground right behind the plant I was working at as it ruptured a natural gas line and runaway.

I am installing an overhead crane so height is important to me.You also have the option to install a mezzanine with a tall ceiling.

I am going to have a 2000lb overhead crane in my garage and from time to time I need to straighten out bent items such as farm machinery and such. I would like to have an anchor in the floor so I might use my crane to straighten out items attached to the anchor. I am going to have a 5' slab...

Thanks for the ideas everyone.No matter how I do it,I am going to suffer some heat loss to the exposed slab.

How do you insulate the perimeter,if you can,around the overhead garage door openings for in floor heat?

I have the lift,pit in the floor and opening in the ceiling but the lift is not in the pit at this time as I am waiting until the floor is finished before I install it.It is just a simple man lift that I am going to trim the fat off of.24' high and 700lb capacity that I picked up for $500 used.

You would not want a ceiling fan with radiant floor heat,correct?

I lover the extra storage.I have 16' x 48' x 8 storage space.I have a scissor lift I am installing in the floor that will lift items to the second floor. They asked if I would be using the storage for hay as they would make the trusses substantially stronger.

I have 32' gambrel trusses and they were $145 each.You can find some information here: http://www.apmbuildings.com/attic-storage-truss.shtml

But according to some,a floor is not going to crack or that if it does,it will be on a rare occasion. So why then would any reasonable man hack up a brand new floor with unsightly cuts all over the place in the rare even that it might develop a crack? Personally,I will take a few hairline...

Cracks in a floor are exactly what I am talking about rather they be random or in the control joints. A crack in a floor is a crack no matter how you serve it. So your contractor is going to laugh in my face when I tell him it is normal for cracks in floors and then he is going cut joints in...

A good quality contractor can prove a slab that does not crack every time,true of false?

Most of the replies in this thread state that their concrete has cracks and you disagree with the statement that concrete will cracks. Why would you not expect any contractor to guantee no cracks? Would you expect any roofing contractor to not guantee a leaking roof?

When contractors tell you concrete cracks,it is there way of telling you that they are not in fairy land. Please present me with one contractor who will guarantee a floor with no cracks??? Does your floor have cracks?
