<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: TDW</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Thanks Bill. I did follow that thread! Fantastic job. I will shoot him a PM. The 2 buildings that I looked at today are very nice. The worksmanship looks very good too.

Bruce, I spent some time in AZ back in the late 70's. I was in Glendale and Sun City for a while. I remember "Indian School Road and the "Camelback Mountains". What cracked me up was I would be going through a town and in between the commercial buildings, there would be an old run down shack that had goats and donkeys in the yard! </div></div>

Tony...Glendale is not far from where I live [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] I kinda remember those days a well...when my brother first moved out here.

You can come back to visit you know!

We have Morton and country craft buildings. Morton posts are closer and several other things are nice, like heavier doors. The main shop is 56 x 76. They insulated it and we installed a propane fired instant water heater like you can get for a house. I think it says tek jr on it. The heater makes hot water that runs thru pipes in the floor. Might be higher costs at startup but it is great. Once the concrete is warm, it is toasty all winter. You can lay on the floor to work and its really nice. Also when you open the doors, you don't lose all your heat. Very efficient too. There is a company called crete heat that makes foam panels that have a vapor barrier on them. They snap together and your pipes snap into them. Saves alot of install time

Thanks Bill. From start to finish of your building, did it go as planned? Were they on the job when they said they would be? Did you have any cost over runs? I am very picky about people doing what they say they will, when they say they will. All in all, were you satisfied with the whole project? This building is going up in central Florida, so I won't be too concerned with heating the floor. I am looking into their insulation package though.

Bruce, the wife and I are thinking about getting a Motorhome to do some traveling. She wants to go to the Grand Canyon, so we just may show up at your door one day!

Cal (zapper68) asked me to post this of his garage. He recently just completed it up in the mountains of Vancouver, British Columbia. I don't recall the square footage but it is A LOT. He also has a party/meeting room unstairs as well as lot of extra storage. Quite an interesting garage and shop on the inside and nicer than my home.
