Haha, man, where were you at when I made this post 3 years ago. You seem to have a good understanding of how to address what's going on, maybe you can solve these guys issues before they get frustrated and part out the trans/clutch/flywheel and go auto like I did lol.

Thanks man.I was undecided with the foam board, I felt like it would be easy to install, but I wouldn't want to use it without finishing it with plywood or drywall or something.I think part of why my bubble wrap is making such a big difference is how much air space is behind it, especially...

Been a while since I've updated this, the insulation install has been a long, drawn out process but it's finally done.I definitely bit off more than I could chew with this project, I didn't think it would be too difficult in the beginning, boy was I wrong. But we still managed to get it done...

Thanks!Unfortunately 3 phase is not available in my subdivision so just single phase 220.Right now I just have a 60amp sub-feed from the house, but if I keep going at this rate I may need to move to a 100-150amp service.Though since it's just my personal garage in not usually running...

Finally finished up with the far wall. I can't get any extra hands for a few weeks to do the roof as my lift is booked up with repairs for the next few weekends, so I got to clean up the shop a little. It's been killing me how messy it has been.I already cut in the other wall sleve for my 2nd...

Getting there....slowly but surely.Just have to do the back wall and the roof now.

Good luck! We had a rough first time home buying experience, but in the end it did finally work out for the best.

Started to hang my insulation/radiant barrier. I don't expect it to work miracles, but I do hope that it will help a bit. We struggled for a while to find the best/most efficient way to hang it, after a bit of headache we came up with a method that seemed to work pretty well.Tape all 3 4ft...

Just finished installing my 20" ventilation fan today. With the bay doors closed and just my entry way door open I can feel a slight breeze inside, immediately made a huge difference, very happy with my results.Put it on a programmable timer so I can have it come on for a few minutes every...

Well I just went on their site and built a 20x21x9 building with 2 9x8 roll up doors and 1 standard entry door and it came to $5600 shipped/installed. But you'll also need concrete work done, which for a 20x21 will probably be about $2000, another $1000 or so in electrical work.You also need...

Some people might call this overkill, but I'm a sucker for numbers, and results, almost like a dynoing a car, I like to see real world differences from changes I make, and not just a "seat of the pants" assumption.So, I ordered 2500sq feet of Double-Bubble Radiant Barrier to go in the shop...

Interesting that they can just "ban" a style of shed/garage.But yeah, I'd be SOL if I tried to build a Pole Barn this big, probably cost at least twice as much.

Anything is possible! I work an average blue collar job, I just manage my money well and am super cheap when it comes to most things, if I can do it, so can anyone else!

Been a while since I updated, Finally had the extra money to get the last 4 of my T8 Light fixtures installed, and I started building a few shelving units and moved most of my car related stuff from the attached garage out to the shop. Been hoarding these stackable bins from work whenever they...

I'll be there in my Fox, HF is out of the way for me so I'll see you guys out there.
