Hi; I have had a heated shop floor for 3yrs now(2350 sq.ft) and it has worked grt! 1' by 1' poured around the edge, 8" thick. 12'' sand and 2'' pink foam. Then 3 1/2 rebar around the edge, with 6' square grid in the inside. Then, 4x12 hiway mesh to tie 9 300' runs of pex tube. Also on the outer edge of the concrete, is 2'down, and 2' out of pink. I ran some tube under the outer edge of the overhead doors to keep them from freezing. Barn cats really like this!! 4mil plastic under the floor also. Also on the walls, with 6'' of insalltion, and I blew at least 3 to 4 FEET of cellose up in the rafters. What a difference that made. 4mil plastic on ceiling. Used white steel inside. 33BELOW 0 this morning...55 wind chill, (northern mn) We have 80' of clay soil here... The posts sit on the slab...not in the grd!! Lots of money spent where you can't see it!! Oh, we heat the shop and house with a outside wood fired boiler. So, don't know what it would cost to "pay" to heat all this. Well, other than a dozer to make logging roads, tractor to skid, 4 chain saws, and you get to be, "outstanding in your field" at 30 below! Pay me now, or pay me later! Oh yea, so far I've used 26 gallons mixed gas. We have always heated with wood and like to do it. Thanks Bobmn

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
