Lets see some pics of your shop/garage

[Himark]

I'll post some pics of mine later. but a word of wisdom, if you building a shop or gargage FLOOR HEAT!! It's worth the extra money and dosent cost that much to heat in the winter. Plus you always have a warm shop to work in.

I pay about 150 bucks a month in heating(24 7 the only way ) in the winter months on a 65 by 80 shop with 18 foot sidewalls with an office/full bath/kitchen sticking out one side.

It'll be one of the best things you'll ever do

That is cheap to heat! I have propane and when shop is busy I will spend 300 bux a month on heat. But I dont think floor heat would work for me since I have a paint booth and pull the air out constantly and need re-heated air.

Himark, not sure how that would work with the paintbooth. Is your booth pretty much sealed off from the rest of the shop ?

Even then it would take some pencil work, but I would be fairly certain it would still be cheaper even if you still had to help heat the fresh air some.

With the concrete being 65 or whatever you have it set at, it's quite amazing how it keeps warm everything.

I did a test for my buddies when we first got it going, with the floor set at 65, both doors open(one 18x20 the other 16x12) for 12 hours with the outside temp around 20 to 25, when we closed the door inside temp was about 52.

Not that ya need to worry about it since ya already got one. Plus if your tired it can make it hard to stay awake if your on the floor Lol

[RIDECATS]

home sweet home!!

Just got my first shop and am pretty excited and fortunate. It's totally open inside right now other than the tin. I'm looking for a boiler for the whirsbo floor and also looking for racking. It's pretty neat the guy had the colored concrete put in when he built it. I'm thinking I need a car project now that i have some space (....rat rod!!)

It would be nice to see how some of you are doing shelving / racks. I'm going to get that done in September.

Any MN dealers on here for boiliers?

LMAO thats funny.

Kinda reminds me of when i got my dad a sign that had to do with skiing that says "put your big girl panties on and deal with it." It was a priceless look.
