My "to do" list includes monitoring temperatures at different heights at different room temperatures to determine just how valuable a ceiling fan would be.
I would have loved floor heat, but needed a source that required no electricity.
That, and the whole pesky budget thingy!
Floor drain?
It's a lot cheaper and easier to rough in the electrical before you insulate. Are those scissor trusses 4/12-2/12? I put a Beacon Morris 75,000 btu vented propane heater in my shop. $400 at Menards. 500 gallon outside tank. You have a sharp looking building. If there are two things I am sure of, you can never make the shop too big and those little trees grow up to be big trees and they do have a habit of falling over. I know. I lost well over 200 last summer/fall $.02
Nice thread, first time I saw it.

Thanks.
Yes, floor drain.
I don't know truss pitch.
Didn't want to take the time to think through the electrical at this point. I wanted the insulation done before winter.
I had this shed in mind when I planted the trees nearly 20 years ago.
It is nice and calm in front of shed when the northwest wind is howling!

I wouldn't put any more money into that shop with your taxes going up and all.
Frp the walls. White and bombproof. Cheap too. Only $33 a sheet. Spendy but cool.

That was the purpose of the wainscoting, to conceal the stem wall insulation.
It would frost over when it got really cold.
Thanks for the compliment!
Waiting on materials, but when I finish the peak I'm gonna have to run electric heat from a generator.
I can't hardly take it anymore.
Maybe a few days off will clean out my system and rebuild my tolerance to it.
Gotta say that the dog LOVES laying under that heater though!
I will just give you my $.02 on your ladder/scaffold technique. A good friend of mine was on a 10' fiberglass step ladder standing 6' off the ground cutting a branch on a tree in front of his house, and the branch kicked back on him. He fell 6' and landed on the grass and severed his spine. He ended up being paralyzed from the waist down. He was two years away from retirement when he got hurt. He was 57 and was an electrician and had logged a million hours of ladder time in his life. Rent some scaffolding with some casters and some picks.
If you fall and hit the concrete, you are toast. It's not worth it man! Be safe!!!!
