I am retiring July 1 of this year and plan to start construction of a new shop this spring. It will be approx 1,000 sq. ft. and will be attached to my current small two car garage (shop). I don't have enough space to make it detached and the size I would like.
I plan to spend a lot of time in it so I want to make it so I can work comfortably in it year round. It will be insulated well, I'm just not sure with what yet--thinking closed cell foam if I can afford it. I live in central Oklahoma and I am considering radiant heat in the slab for heating, but wonder if that might be overkill for my location. If I went that way for the heat, what would be the best way to cool it in the summer?
How do you cool and heat your shop and what would you use if you were dong it over?
Thanks for your thoughts.
