The out building is finally 99% finished!!! Now I just need to organized all the "stuff" in want to cram into it.
It is 22' wide by 44' long ( we had a 1000 sq/ft restriction so these were the best dimensions I could come up with for my use). I have 2" 250 pink poly with taped seams and a 8 mil barrier under that as insulation for the slab & have run the exterior poly down 1 foot below grade to help with the outside surface of the slab. I ran 4/250' loops of 1/2" pex and stapled them to the poly before the concrete was poured.
Walls are 2x6 with 1/2" plywood and 1" pink poly and tyvek on the outside of that. Windows are low-e thermo pane & large door is r-19. Walls have dense-pack blown in insulation with 1/2" drywall & steel siding for the bottom 3' of the wall. Ceiling has r-45 blown in fiberglass. I have white steel siding in the inside of the ceiling ( don't like to finish drywall overhead). Outside has vinyl and steel siding.
Heat is by a Takagi on demand modulating hater heater with a 20% antifreeze mix. Natural gas.
I love it so far, has taken me 16 months to build it but it seems to have come out well.
