   Your shop looks great! I am jealous of your in floor heating. I have a shop of similar size but no heat yet. Someday....Cheers

   What a beautiful building! Lots of room, but for gosh sakes, put some posters or artwork on those walls! The inside looks BLAH and boring. Paint one wall a different color, make a really nice hanging tool cupboard. I'd go nuts in there, looks like the inside of a prison.

   Wow! My family would never see me. They'd know where to find me but they would never see me. Great shop!

   That is a wonderful shop. I am pretty new to woodworking and I haven't even begun to dream of something so fantastic. I guess, now that I have seen your shop, I have started.

   Thanks so much for sharing.

   Hey Dave, Awesome shop!! Hydronic in floor heating with a tankless water heater?!? That's a unique combo. How's that working out for you? Looks like it would be coming on a lot up there in Canada!? Again, awesome shop!

   Thanks TimR. The heating has worked out very well this winter. It was our first and we really didn't know what to expect other than it would be cold and there would be lots of snow. The heater is powered by propane and I haven't got the exact number yet as to cost but I am pleased with the performance. The temperature in the shop is constant( I keep it around 62F and it's very comfortable with no cold spots). The second floor heats well too just through convection but I have roughed in for two single line rad heaters. I will have to add a mixing valve to regulate the water temp. One thing for anyone thinking about using a tankless heater - The companies don't recommend it because of codes but between the lines they say they will work. Just do your due dilligence when lookng at different manufacturers.

   Note to Geppetto - hahaha, thanks for the tips. I just got the shop finished and I had to start on some commissions that were falling behind. There are plans n the works to fill the walls in the near future. Right now I'm working on the honey-do list.
