Trusses finally showed up late last week. They hope to get it closed in before Christmas.
Windows, doors and overhead doors are also here.

C. Boyd,
It all depends on which side of the earth you are on. ggg
They are facing the right way for the other side of the earth. LOL
All joking a side - I thought they would have put them all on one end. Then slide and flip them into place as they went.

Marie and I are blessed to have had a 2nd chance to buy our farm.
Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.
Our 1970 Ultravan #520 has an Olds Toronado 455 in back.

Did you get 2 end trusses? I didn`t and had to modify what I had.

Not only that, but they got a whole box of nails with the heads on the wrong end. They the builder showed me those nails were for the other side of the building.

Are you using ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) technique for the foundation stem walls, Bruce?

I'm wondering if Rob Mueller had some to do with the design of that roof and trusses.

We have in the floor heating in several buildings at the airport. The shop where I hang out has it and it does quite well. We run the air temperature sensing thermostat usually around 60 degrees and it is quite comfortable. We do not run it any colder so the cat is comfortable.
For a boiler we originally used a normal 30 gallon water heater. When that one wore out we changed it to an on demand water heater. The on demand heater has had several problems. When it finally quits we are going back to another standard tank type water heater.
The floor temperature when it is running usually runs 5 or 6 degrees above the air temperature. Even at 0 degrees, you can loose the heat for several days without the temperature dropping below freezing.
Blaine Merrell has the same system in his "Florida room". That garage area could park 4 GMCs in it (if you put one on the 4 post hoist) and still have room to work on them to easily. I'm guessing the size is 75' by 50'. For some reason he used 2 water heaters. I never understood why except maybe he wanted redundancy in case of failure in the winter time.
The trick was to prepare the floor insulation properly. We learned from Tom Burke up in Whitehorse how to prepare the floor. He had us put a vertical piece of 2" foam all the way around the foundation and down 2 feet. Then under the floor around the perimeter for the first 4 feet we put 4" of foam. On the next 4 feet towards the center we put 2" of foam. Everything else in the center past he 8 foot mark got no foam at all. Tom taught us that the most important part was the 2 foot vertical pieces around the perimeter.
