When combined with my lead foot, it meant that I was filling up almost every 2 days. I was fine with it but the better half viewed it as wasteful so I agreed to get rid of it and go EV. But now I’m thinking that I need the Model S instead of the Model 3…it never ends. 😂

Busenfreunde (bosom buddies). Added the RS6 a couple of weeks ago, which will give me a sporty daily I can drive year round, and help me keep the miles down on the GT3 and my Raptor. These two cars are way too nice for my garage or my house, but hey - priorities (and an enabling wife).

I installed my Autostacker over the past week. Next time I hire someone, got it done though. 😎

Nah, you have it figured out now. Next time it will be 3x as easy.

Is this space attached to a house?

Curious about your heat/AC solution there. What is it, where is it piped to for exhaust/condenser.

I always had in mind either tying into house system or installing a gas overhead like in industrial places (smaller of course). But I recently noticed a house (guy has 2 lifts) had a Mitsubishi unit adjacent to the garage exterior, I am assuming that unit is used in his garage. That's a way simpler idea that only requires an electrical hookup and refrigerant piping to the condenser and indoor unit.

Its a detached garage, the A/C unit is a ductless unit, very quiet, even the outside condenser and fan are quiet, here is a link to a similiar unit as mine, same idea. https://www.globalindustrial.ca/p/du...caAmv1EALw_wcB

Thanks!

Have you tracked energy costs? What's a rough monthly cost?

I'd probably just use it for winter heating.

I have not tracked the cost to run it. My garage is well insulated so it does not run a lot, in the summer I only put it on when we have extreme heat for a period of time as I like to keep the door open when I'm in there. Note, this is not a heater, air only. For heat I have a tube radiant heater, natural gas.

Progress continues:

Garage doors, some exterior entry doors, rough electrical, rough AC & Heat are in. More siding is up (enough to get an idea of the correct colors). It is starting to feel like a fully enclosed building rather than an open hanger. The drywallers hit it again next week.

This is great and all, but if we dont get to see what is spray painted on the interior wall before the rock is hung - this thread is a fail!

FYI, I love that you did the entire building in ICF - have been debating this for years.
