Just bought a house this year in Scottsville NY and i have a 36x160 all metal barn (2 story actually) I have been building the shop this year and working on the house also. we seem to go right from summer to winter with no fall. i had scored about 3200 sq feet of 3" foam board insulation for the roof of the shop side and almost have it all up.
in the mean time, i have been working on my version of a waste oil shop heater. i have watched a bunch of youtube and decided to go the barrel stove version and gave it a go!
working excellent tonight with 58 degrees in the shop with outside temp at 32 tonight. i am super happy. i still have more insulation to put up and could probably make some burn chamber improvements. i have put up a tarp wall to make the heated portion 36x60. 14 foot walls at edge and open beam construction 21' at peak. she is a big girl.
