Greetings, My Name is Kevin and I'm glad to stumble upon this site. I am a fabricator and welder plus I have a day job totally unrelated. I have a 30x45 shop, it's pole building construction with a 9'3" from the floor to the bottom of the truss. It is 17 years old and has the standard white vinyl backed insulation that many pole buildings have. I have been heating it with forced air/propane and it works OK but I have decided the propane people aren't any better than the corner crack dealer. Prices here in southern Indiana can get stupid. I am looking into putting up a drop ceiling of corragated skin then blowing insulation in the top. For you guys that have built with the heated floor I will say I'm jealous, my neighbor built a shop this way and the heated floor makes a huge difference. I will use the search function to the best of my luck but may ask some questions too. The majority of my fabrication work is aircraft related but I have recently built myself a custom titled Harley and my son and I are getting started on a second generation Firebird frame off/rotissere rebuild. I know these threads describing toys are worthless without pics. so I will try and learn to post some. Thanks. Kevin

I just posted as a new member also. I see you are from southern Indiana (I went to high school in Vevay (Near Madison) and am also into aircraft building. I recently restored a Colt and am presently building a Clipped-wing Exp Super cub. What part of Indiana are you from and what type of aircraft projects are you involved with?

Thanks
Jim Miller

After perusing this site for a few days I would have to say it's been very helpful. I pretty much have my projects in line but my old drafty pole building needs a little face lift. Just ordered six scissor trusses to scab into the original structure so I can put in a two post lift and have the necessary head room. I see there are many options and opinions on lifts. That will be next, probably bought in january.
