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

Pete, Cool project! I'd highly recommend laying the tubing for the radiant floors so you have a heated slab. It wont add all that much to the cost if you do the work yourself. My brother and I just did his new house and laid all the foam and tubing in a weekend by ourselves. Its pretty easy, just takes time. The contractor wanted 4000 or something just in labor for it but like i said, a weekend was all it took for us. This is in North Dakota, so similar heat output as your area I would guess.

Also I second the opinion to build it bigger! Space to work on a project is never enough!
