When I built mine I set a big v shaped piece of rebar in a pocket in the floor covered up by a metal plate. It is handy having an attachment point in the floor for a chain. Also, at the end opposite the door where I built a workbench, I buried a 6' I beam before I poured the floor, right flush with the front edge of that bench. I've had clutches stick before and this way nothing is getting past that I beam and through the back wall. Thankfully, I haven't had to try it out yet, but it's there if I ever need it. I heated with a ceiling hung propane furnace the first year, but went through a 100 gallon tank without ever really being warm so I put in a stainless steel chimney and a wood stove and that works better. If I ever get too old to mess with the wood, the furnace is still there. What I wish I had done, was to have run radiant pipes in the floor before I poured it. Then I could have built a heat exchanger for the stove and had a nice warm floor. I was in too big a hurry to get going then so I didn't do it.
