Re: Looking for planning help for polebarn style workshop to be built in the spring

Mark email sent, thanks.

I'm envious of all that space! Looks like he used metal panels to finish the interior rather than sheetrock - I can see how that would save time as regards finishing and painting. The conduit runs atop the panels also.

Heating? I looked into the passive solar design posted earlier but am afraid the building sees too little sun to make that worthwhile. Should I look into running natural gas or will that be really pricey? Radiant floor heating would be great but I'd have to get water to the site. Thinking wood stove for now though that takes up space and takes time to heat.

Also, what about the need for floor drains? The contractor states his floor will have a gradual slope to send any water out the front. Are drains even necessary?
