Re: Setting up Shop in Dayton (aka Cholla's Retreat)
Jim,
Glad to see the pros chiming in. This will only make these threads better. Thanks for the tip. I used standard sized gas pipes (4 and 10' sections) to keep it simple and my supply end connection came down between wall studs. I did not wish to just use wall anchors through the drywall to secure the pipe so, I will place a 1x4 between two studs beneath the supply connection and anchor the pipe to this board for a solid attachment.

Re: Setting up Shop in Dayton (aka Cholla's Retreat)
Sam, make sure those trees stay healthy above and around your building... That was always my worst fear at our old house was that a branch was going to come through the garage roof and destroy one of the cars... I have no large trees at our new home around the outbuilding....

Re: Setting up Shop in Dayton (aka Cholla's Retreat)
You're right Rich. Always a risk. The trees in and around the garage are real healthy at this point.
Mounted a few more ceiling fixtures and placed a vertical diffuser on the heater for better distribution....

Re: Setting up Shop in Dayton (aka Cholla's Retreat)
Sam, awesome job. Your shop looks great! How long will the 120 gallons of propane last?

Re: Setting up Shop in Dayton (aka Cholla's Retreat)
Damien - it is kind of a guess at this point. I filled it up for about $160-. We have mild/moderate winters in Ohio, with ave temps around 35 deg F (however, last winter saw us below 0 deg F on several occasions [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif[/img] ). I plan to keep the thermostat at 45 deg unless I am working in there (mostly weekends and I would probably set it at 60 deg +/-). Propane guys think I will have to fill it once maybe 2/3 thru the winter. If I can get away with around $200 for the winter, I will be a happy camper. I have yet to blow in my attic insulation which will help immensely - shooting for an R38 value up there.

Re: Setting up Shop in Dayton (aka Cholla's Retreat)
Dave - I like it a bunch. I never have had a real tool box to put my tools in collectively. I waited for a killer price ($699 IIRC?) for both pieces. It is the HD version and operates smoothly. Now I am trying to justify $379 (on sale) for the hang-on cabinet for more tool storage! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img]
Specialty tools will go in other cabinets and I just bought (waited for a sale of course) Craftsman powdercoated metal peg board system to add a bit of color to the shop...
