Adkhunter1590 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Like others have said you could have someone build you what you want for less than buying one of the premade buildings. Material quality would be better most likely too. Any decent contractor out there could bang out this size building your talking about in a matter of a day or two. You could save some money and finish the outside and inside yourself if you want. For heating and cooling I'd suggest one of the mini splits. It will cover both heat and cool and the new ones are really efficient. A mini split would work perfect for the size building your thinking about. I'm most likely going to tear down my 2 car detached garage and start all over in a couple years. I'm leaning towards a metal building as they are usually significantly cheaper when you get into the bigger sizes like 30x40 etc. So I know where your coming from on planning ahead of time. I'm not concerned about cooling, but for heat I think I'm gonna be putting in a biomass boiler in the new garage and running the water lines underground back to the house to connect into my hot water system here. If you have a boiler system in your house now, you could technically heat your new building with it if it's gonna be reasonably close enough to the house. Good luck on your planning and building! One last piece of advice....build it EXACTLY how you want it now so you have no regrets later. Even if it costs you 10% more than you planned, you'll thank yourself someday lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Real_TCIII Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 What a bummer. I bet that forced you to finish the basement with a righteous man cave. Pity. I did just that. Then I lost it as a playroom for a few years but am now restoring it to its prior glorySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
