What is nice about you folks is having your viewers offer suggestions and advice to you. It shows a genuine regard to those who are regular viewers of your channel. From some of the comments I’ve read, it appears that there is an intelligent and experienced audience that is expertly offering plausible ideas and concepts to your hobby barn. Speaking of hobby barn, consider giving it a name that closely identifies with your family and lifestyle. One more thought... have you considered wood heat in the game room part of the new building. As you know wood heat is very comforting and does create an ambience. Heated floors is definitely a smart and wise choice.
Lookin Good Mike . May I suggest one thing we didn't do until after the first accident . We had a friend driving one of the forklifts we had and he backed into the corner of the building(did $ 4000.00 worth of damage) . I reminded my dad many times he needed to put the steel post in on each corner of the building as well as on both sides of the roll up doors so people would hit the steel post and NOT the Building . SO the next thing you know I am with a Jack Hammer taking out concrete and digging holes to put the metal poles in . There were two on each corner and then 4 on each rollup door (two on the outside and two on the inside). Not less than 3 months later one of the guys backed his truck into one of them and bent it . Yes , He spent the next two days digging it out with a Jack Hammer to replace it . But it saved the building . You might think about doing that to yours ..
Mike, you always give everyone else the credit.....BUT....look at all the hard prep work Melissa and you did.... That's the main reason the new building looks so awesome. Well done.
I see the flag on you arm you make me so proud of you Mike, This last weekend my two 6 year old twins were being very quiet in our bedroom, which isn't normal, so Grandma got up to see what those two were up to, there they wete sitting on the bed looking into the closet, Juliana asked Grandma Is that Grandpas uniform, she said, yes it is, she asked what did Grandpa do, Grandma said he IS an Airborne Ranger they both said, IS Grandma said yes, even though he is retired hes still a Ranger, thats why he looks after this family and does the things he does, Grandma said, what he did in the Army many of his soldiers looked up to him, because he protected his soldiers just like he protects you two and even me, she said, look at those stars on his uniform she pointed them out, this is a cluster of 5 Bronze Stars and this one is a cluster of 6 Silver Stars, how did he get all of them, she said, doing things that were very brave, she said, their little eyes got really big, they jumped off the bed and ran outside to Grandpa, I went to the door and listened to the both of them, they said, we are so Proud of you Grandpa, he said whats all of this about, Anthony said, Grandpa your here to protect us, he looked down at them both and said always day and night, you see Grandpa is 6ft6 275lbs and even though he lost his right foot and half his leg below the knee, he is still a Ranger in their eye's and their protector, so wear your flag and be proud of the men and women who gave for you to wear that flag, God Bless
Chance Bernhardt just lovely! ❤️ 🇺🇸
Tell Grandpa thanks for his service for our freedom and country I am proud to be an American had uncles and cousins and friends that served and still serving this great land
@@dougsmith9099 i second that. 🇺🇸
Great story.
I love the new Building AND that Blue Sign you’ve got in the yard!
Yeah! The Building is turning out Great!!👍👊
Good evening. Glad to see that you finally got a idea approved by Mike. Way to go Melissa. Have a great day.
our pole building has radiant floor heating along with an overhead Reznor for fast recovery if garage doors are opened or etc. -- highly recommend this setup. (all on wifi controls so can monitor and control from anywhere - this is a must)
So glad y'all settled on radiant floor heating. Can't wait to see the installation. Have a productive day.
I feel like it should be a outdoor wood boiler for heating the new building and you can also use it to heat the pool and you already like to cut wood so a win win
Wood burner boiler for sure. You have everything you need.
Plus ,you will have a line out the door for
Wood burner sponsors!
Do not forget to run a heat zone outside for snow melting.
And also can heat the house
They really don’t have winter in Pennsylvania, well not like us in Northern most Wisconsin.
@@realairplane261 I am a GA Boy and had to go to Manatowac last January to fix a machine, That was brutal like " I am going to Die here" cold. Yall are hearty People for sure.
Carl, -30 is common for our winter and the snow arrives at the beginning of November and stays to the middle of April.🥶
That’s adorable Mellisa , keep your fingers crossed that the pool is next!!!!
Awesome choice, be sure and do a zone or two, rec room, work area or if you plan to finish any other area. Even if you don't use the floor heat anytime soon it will be there. My grandpa built a similar sized barn in the late 70's and it wasn't a thing then but i wish i had it. I did do rainwater collection off of half the roof and for about every 4 tenths of rain it makes roughly 265 gallons of water. I love washing vehicles with the rain water. No water spots and i'm not taxing our marginal well.
Floor heat you will still need two zones one for rec room and bath and the other for the equipment area, equipment area only need to be kept at about 40 but can be turned up prior to working in it. My pole building is only kept above freezing unless I am going out to work in it then I make sure I am comfortable working in shirt sleeves. an outdoor boiler makes sense, but only if it has a large water tank for hot water storage. too many that I looked at had little water capacity meaning the stove burned more that it was needed because of losses.
A closed loop heat on demand using glycol in conjunction with a hanging unit to push air is the most efficient way, there is also the ability for snow melt in slab out side of garage door to avoid sliding into garage door.
M &M- I love the building- you will be amazed at how much you use it. The radiant heat will be great-I couldn’t swing it when I had concrete poured but added an outdoor wood burner with a radiator that keeps my 60x 42 Morton building comfortable. I researched the outdoor wood burners extensively and settled on Heatmaster SS-made in Canada - very impressive quality - lots of Us dealers- have been very pleased!
I think it looks great and I'm glad for y'all. A little jealous wishing I had something like it. Congratulations, I hope y'all enjoy it a lot...
looks great ...how exciting to have that clean slate to work with inside!
That building is awesome. Nice job Morgan's. Can't wait to see what you do on the inside
We have radiant floor heating and it is terrific. Not only will all of you like it, but Piper, Ruger, and Archie will love it. Half hour nap on one side, flip over, and toast the other side. :)
Classic outdoor boilers in northern MN makes an excellent choice. Many options to suit your needs and awesome for floor heat. You won't be disappointed with floor heat and you have a lifetime renewable supply right there. I burned 15 plus cord a year in mine. Build is looking awesome.
Oh Melissa you are so beautiful! You would love Tennessee and fit in here so well I m so glad I left NE Pa !! It’s awesome here Mike would too Very Patriot &We Love our state like Texas!! God Bless you all especially Hunter!!🙏
Nice job on keeping the building site clean!
Can not wait to see how the new floor is done. I am new to the east coast. More to come from Teacher Mike 👍
Wow Morgans!! You guys make it look so fun and invigorating! That's a dream barn!!!! Good luck!
Overhead storage is a must and you will always need more than you have. Love the building!
I’m so glad you have decided on radiant heat. One the great benefits is that not many people talk about is when your done plowing in the winter and pull your equipment inside the barn, the snow, water, and ice left on the machine or on the floor dries so fast you won’t believe it.
Looks great! You will love the radiant floor heating!
The building is looking great. Radiant floor heating sounds like a good solution, as do the wooden finishes you are planning both outdoors and indoors. We have all figured out that you’re a smart lady, Melissa. I think the pool will be in before you know it... so the kids and grandkids can enjoy it with you.
Your hobby ban looks allsome
Personally, I would wait to name it until after it is complete and you have spent a month or two using it. Then the right name will just come straight to mind. OR... you could call it the “Have a Day Hangout”
You won't regret going with the radiant heat. I have a central boiler that I use to heat house and domestic water. love it! If you buy a larger one you can add a coil to your central heat in the house. I burn about 4-5 cords of fire wood a season in the ST. Louis area.
Hello Morgan’s from Bowman Quebec, I have a 45 x60 ICF( insulated concrete form) garage with radiant floor. I love it! Working on equipment in the winter with a warm floor is awesome . One drawback is because the garage is so well insulated( with 2’’ rigid insulation on the inside and 2’’ on the outside plus 6’’ concrete core) it is very humid. I run a dehumidifier but an alternate forced air heat source is probably what I should do.
Mike in floor heat is a great idea I use to work (Auto Mechanic) in a shop that had it & it was so nice to never have cold feet. I also have a buddy that has it in his home shop (about 1/2 as big as yours) & he loves it as well. The few things I wana advice you on is know where you inside walls are going because if you drill into a line you'll be busting concrete back out the same goes if you ever plan on a lift & you may wana heat the slabs outside the garage doors & also have lots of floor drains. Yes I'm spending alot of your money but nows the time. Love your videos keep them coming. Have A Day
I have missed checking you guys out for a couple days. I am impressed. The building looks fabulous. You must be super excited to get started on the inside. Can’t wait to see how that all falls into place.
Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing with us.
Outdoor boiler for sure. I heat my 3500 sq ft house, my domestic hot water, two garages and a 36x50 shop with mine here in MN. ( it gets cold). Love it. My gas bill in January is $28. ( my wife likes the gas fireplace) love the new building!
Goodmorning Morgans first things first i agree with Gary Crews you should call the building Hunters place or The Morgan's playhouse. Heating the building yes on radiant heat and i think the game room area could have a woodburning stove in it for ambiance. Looks super awesome folks and love the morning videos so see you all again tomorrow with another Morgan's update
My opinion, for what its worth and as a master electrician sense the early 80's, you will happier putting a white metal ceiling in the garage area to reflect more light.
Absolutely! You are exactly right! Great idea! Thank you sir
Morning Morgans!
An outdoor furnace would be a good choice for year round use.
You could use it for the radiant floor heat and during pool season you could
use it to heat the pool. Just a thought.
Stay safe and healthy!
Smell that wood burning year round!
Mike n Melissa, Having a Day here in NE Cecil County on the Elk River, what a great time I have watching your channel. Very well put together! Editing, content, music, family....so many nice things here. 15 years ago when I built my timber framed house, I decided to go with radiant heat in the slab on the ground floor. Best decision I made! I know it is (and was) a large initial expense, but I went with a Geo Thermal heat pump system. Part of that great decision. My house has 20’ high ceilings, as well as the radiant floor heating. We keep the thermostat close to 72 all year round, whether it’s 90 or 20 out. No outside unit, quiet, efficient! Good luck and the “BARN” is awesome!
The building looks wonderful. To me either the barn or the shop. You will be very happy with the in floor heat.
My 36 ft by 48 ft shop in northern Wisconsin 10 x 16 ft overhead door on the north side using radiate heat ,propane mini boiler takes 3 gallons of propane a day to heat to 65 degrees R30 walls R60 ceiling insulation 5 .25 inches of concrete 5 inchs of sand tubing stapled to 2 inchs of foam
ICF frost walls did the sand for a lot of reasons heat sink. Can drill in floor and never worry about hitting tubing and it protects the tubing when pouring concrete
Always happy to see dreams come together
Good decision. You will really appreciate the heating and the money it will save over time.
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
I contemplated in floor heat and opted to go with perimeter insulation and utilize the natural heat of the earth to keep it cool in summer and warm in winter. I would seriously consider using 3" of spray foam insulation in the walls. I did it in my building, which is the same size, and I heat it on 100 gallons of propane.
Closed cell spray insulation is pretty sweet
Hey Mike and Melissa! We truly enjoy your videos. Congratulations on the new building.
We are using the same stain and color on our boathouse that you used on your wood shed.
Have you thought about a floor drain in the equipment area? That would be great during the winter for cleaning your "Toys".
Get your steel corner post installed sooner than later before your corners banged up!
I couldn't agree more, to have more than one zone.
I would also recommend that you lay out the floor in zones in case you wanted to separate the larger areas later.
I also agree with an overhead unit heater.
I can't stress this enough, split the areas and lay out the tubing accordingly.
I would also recommend keeping the tubing at least 18"from the exterior wall.
Long time watcher, first time comment.
Love your building! Love the sign in your yard more!!!
We heat are house with a wood boiler, we have two air handlers. One on the first floor and one on the second floor and we have are man cave addition radiant floor hooked to are wood boiler too. We use about 6-7 cords of wood a year that I get from my friends and odd jobs. I love the almost free heat LOL!! just my labor, chainsaw's, gas/oil , wood splitter, truck & trailer and my new addition a subcompact tractor ! I love being outdoors being productive !
Good morning Morgan's from East Tennessee! Pool Barn! 👍 Sounds good to us! I have a suggestion too, pipe the downspouts well away from the building, before pouring the concrete. Agree the cherry tree should be removed too. Tell Hunter hi as well as the rest of the Morgan's! Looking forward to watching y'alls finishing videos! 👍
I installed a wood boiler and radiant heat in a 60x100 building for a logging company. When finished the secretaries came running out and loved it as they worked in the office barefoot. The garage men loved it as they laid on creepers working on trucks and could feel the heat.
Great looking building. I am sure you will get many years of enjoyment and practical use out of it. Might consider ceiling fans on the outdoor porch ceiling before you install your red pine. Good Luck!
Love the building. You could see the crew that you hired to build it really know what they are doing. Radiant heat is the best heat.
just a heads up don't forget about the rops on the small tractor when you spread gravel under the patio when you are getting ready for the big pour
I agree with you Mike, it is a beautiful building congratulations. Radiant heat is an excellent choice also. Did you read my comments on the video where you talked about the pole buildings? It will help reinforce your decision to go with pole building construction. Morton is a big builder of pole buildings, they are the Cadillac of pole buildings. They are very expensive though.
Mike, I have a wood boiler, in my opinion it is the most efficient thing on this farm. Mine will service up to four buildings and will heat your domestic water also. I highly recommend this source of heat.
Really liked the intro music today. Good pick Mike! 👍
We built our retirement home in Northeastern Wisconsin and installed in floor heat in our finished basement and we love it. If I ever build another house, the entire building would have in floor heat. I would suggest, however, if your finished room has different uses; living area or play room or time in each area, I would suggest zoning the areas with their own thermostat, we have 3 zones and it works very well. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for sharing your family with these videos.
Maybe you should name the building "Morgan's Toy Chest".
If your going to put the tractors, 4 wheelers, and have a game room. That sounds like a lot of toys to me.
"The Palace". would be a fitting name given its size and purpose. Very nice, and I can't wait to see it fully completed.
A couple of my friends have the in floor heating. They really like it. If you have to open the doors to move equipment in or out the heat in the floor will recover the comfortable temperature in a short period of time.
Hi M&M! That’s a NICE building. And I actually like “the hobby barn”, lol. I have in-floor heat in my house and garage, here in upstate NY and think it’s awesome. Heat source is outdoor wood boiler, w/oil backup. There are some minor drawbacks to this set-up, I’ll share if you wanna know....
Love the way you layer your roads, specially around the barn, built to last for years.
Lovely building guys, congrates .. really like two the two cladding panel colors on the walls.. easy also to change out a damaged panel in the future on the bottom .. best of luck with it ..
Mike Dave from central Mn. I have radiant tubes in my concrete floor, 60 deg. In the shop feels more comfortable than 68 deg in the house. Love radiant floor heat! Name of my pole building is Sherburne County Men’s Crisis Center and woodshop😀
Love watching the build. My dream project is a 32x72 building with a shop on one end and a indoor pool on the other. Probably just a dream but hey who knows.
We used radiant floor heating in a church that I built here in northern Michigan it works wonderfully even in our colder clime. Good choice!
Howdy Morgans, my vote is for wood fired boiler with radiate heat in the floors with extra capacity to heat your pool once it is installed. Very nice building Mike and Melissa congrats and looking forward to see how you finish it out. Have A Day! ;~)
Yes! There's nothing like hydronic floor heating. I have a 40 x 80 shop with it and it's so nice when it is 10 degrees outside and 65 degrees inside. It makes working in it so nice!
I think you should name your new building, “HUNTERS PLACE” 👍😊
In floor radiant heat is good but only if its done right( GROUND BARRIER). if it fails ( gets plugged ,develops leak , gets inadvertantly pierced, etc etc) you'll have headaches.If your planning on wood fire boiler , its an everyday commitment ( as in sentence) Make sure you have an Lp/ natural gas boiler for days and weeks your not there ( long weekend , vacations, family emergencies) I've got wood boiler heat in mine...everything (radiators, zone valves abd related wiring, water lines etc) are above ground were I can SEE and maintain them.Whatever you finish ceiling with , make sure its white. Put sleeves into attic space from service panels for future wiring needs, and below grade out beyond cement pads for future out door wiring ie: Flag light, Hybrid electric car charging station, landscape, path lighting, etc etc.
Patrick...'The Michigan Electrician'
Hunter's Hangout!
I wanna talk about the video thumbnail you damn lucky man. I enjoy the channel but most know why I watch. It's simple
THE KUBOTA and it's beautiful attachments.
I see there are a bunch of people saying go for outdoor boiler. I have a outdoor boiler. It is fine for heating a home but not sure about a big building. Use lots of wood and have to babysit them daily. Just a thought on outdoor boiler vs gas or oil. Good luck either way and nice building.
Nice building. You could call it the Morgan Operations and Recreational Resources Building. Thanks for the videos, keep up the great work.
That would be a great way to heat the building especially where you guys have the access to wood great idea thanks for sharing stay safe
Mike, a friend of mine built a shed like yours and what he used is a water heater for the in floor heat. Works nice.
Are you and Melissa are put the plumbing in for the shower and toilet before you put the flooring down and the bolts in the floor for the walls than that way you put the walls straight on the bolts and do up the nuts
Have had great success with hydronic radiant in floor heating. Installed in my house in 1993. For a space the size of yours use 3/4" hepex with two zones and a circ pump for each zone. Use multiple loops of equal length (300 feet for 3/4 " works well). The bigger/colder shop zone will need about 5 loops with 2 of the loops dedicated to the perimeter at 6 inch on center. Use 2 loops focused in front of the big doors. The last loop spread around the center at 18 inch on center. Use a small stainless indirect water heater with two heat exchangers in order to use two different heat sources feeding the supply manifolds. One heat exchanger can be fed from a gas boiler and the other from a wood boiler or solar loop. This increases the system water volume also. Use glycol. Use pvc conduit sweeps to guide the tubing in and out of the slab. Also, use two separate conduits to and from the house. The second one feeds back to the house from the 15 or 20 kw diesel generator located in the barn with the big diesel tank. This tank supplies your equipment and is delivered. Trust me.
Good morning M&M... Good choice with the heating system. You'll be glad you did.
Enjoy your Wednesday 🙂
Great choice - radiant floor heat is the best. My $.02 - make sure you map it out so if you need to drill a hole, you won't have a geyser. As for temperature - set it and forget it - the most efficient way to go. Also, are you going to pour a mow strip outside the building? I'm like you, I don't like critters coming in under the framed portion and a mow strip leaves an easy place to edge against or ride the zero turn on. Might be able to make it a continuous pour - inside and out, not sure of the elevations though. Building looks great - great choices.
Good luck.
MIKE, best intro music choice EVER ! Heard it before and always liked it. Great idea for heating the 'motor pool' !
Awesome building Mike! A lot more room to put the equipment in side and keep them out of the snow this coming winter! I wish I had a building like that here in Wisconsin!
Do a gasification outdoor wood furnace and also have an electric boiler as backup. Plan and trench in your insulated pipe(s)/tubing from your outdoor furnace location before final grade and concrete. I did this in my shop that was stud walls. I did an inch of spray foam insulation, then poly and filled with blown in. Interior sheeted with white steel. It holds heat well.
LOL "that's adorable and moves on", too funny. You will like your decision of the in floor heat.
I can't put into words how efficient and comfortable OUR radiant heat is. My comment: after a lot of effort, i paid an engineer to design our interchange. We have an outdoor wood burner, backed up (manually) by an instant heater. I LOVE it! We keep our house @ 74, and the shop about 62 (just below the point someone working would sweat). When it's -5 or more outside, it's still extremely comfortable inside, always.
Definitely go with a gasification wood fired boiler which produces almost no smoke. Set it up with zones to heat the house, the multi-purpose building (2 zones), and the future swimming pool. It would be so awesome to be able to use the swimming pool year round. The whole system would pay for itself.
The disadvantage to floor heat is it takes a long time to raise the temperature. We are heating with a overhead radiant tube heater. Within 5 min you feel the heat like standing in the sun. We keep our shop at 45 degrees in the winter while we are not using it during the week. Its nice if you have a small project to just hit the thermostat and start working. I'm sure you know insulation and air movement is also key. The more you use the more money you save over time. To keep it simple we just call our shop "The Shop" . Subscriber from Kansas city
Yes it takes time but once the temperature is there it stays I thought I would need a make up air heater when opening the garage door Not I average 750.00 dolla,a year to heat my shop 1980 square foot it's awesome Mike make sure u use 2 inch Styrofoam for floor I use 1 inch it still works great but have a day
If you do an outdoor boiler you could use it to heat the future pool as well as the shop/gameroom...new build looks great by the way. Thanks for sharing your life and family with us. Keep putting out the great content...
Great video, I did radiant floor heat in my barn in northern MI, I plan to hook up an outdoor wood boiler. I also put hot water coils in the cement apron in front of the barn doors and man door to melt the snow and ice. I haven't commissioned my system yet, I am looking forward to seeing you get your system up and running and if you choose a wood boiler. Like you I have a limitless supply of firewood:) Thanks!
Mike I put floor heat in the living space and I built my own hot water heater with the radiators that they use with the electric forced air furnaces when adding a outdoor boiler to the system. I built a 1" tubing frame to house the radiator , and I used a old fan out of a electric forced air furnace and put it into the home made housing behind the rad ,you can buy different BTU size Rads .Then I covered it all in furnace ducting material, and ran a cord out of it to a thermostat, hung it up to the ceiling ,ran the pluming through the wall to it .It is up high out of the way like a gas heater often is.I heat a 40 by 32 shop in Canada with it ,And saved a lot of $ not using Hydro. I use a Homesteader out door Boiler 140000 btu. It has all been working flawlessly since 1996.And I use a ceiling fan to keep the air moving ,Thermostat cuts in less. Just another option, you have lots of wood.
Morganville Mill.
Gas/wood boiler for the radiant floor sounds great. I'm hopeful to see a nice fireplace in the recreational part of the Mill. Your channel is great, Hunter, you 'Da man....
Good morning Mike and Melissa! Glad you both are on board for the radiant heat, it will make life easier and better for you all in the early fall winter and spring for all the possibilities for your both halves of the Hobby Game Room, Whatever you name the place ! Just enjoy all of the building and the good times everyone will have there while playing or working. Thanks for sharing with us, it’s looking so good around there. 👋 Hunter 😁. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love your idea about heating the complete build, would be nice to be cozy in the workshop during cold. Buiding look well built can't wait for the ride along in it's future development. Amen
You'll love the floor heat! I have it in my garage! Just buy the best equipment right from the start.
Mike- when you purchase your outdoor boiler to operate the radiant floor heat, keep in mind of future heating requirements. I’m in Delaware, the climate is a little warmer then yours but close to the same. I insulated my floor with 2” foam and installed a 125,000btu fan forced water A coil. Feed from a central boiler Cl6048. I’ve seen shop’s with floor heat take a few more cords of wood a year to operate. My boiler heats the shop 45x75, 4600 sq foot home and our swimming pool. Leave plenty of room for circulator pumps. I want to do a hot water heater but not enough room for a circulator pump. I’m on my 13th year and it’s the best heat ever. 4-5 cords a year is all I use, good luck.
You should call it Morgans recreational center or something like that to match the natural resource reclamation center you have down below..... Love it!....
A friend of mine put in floor heating in a larger building such as yours. He found just heating the perimeter, the inside six feet was plenty sufficient to keep the chill out.
Love the building. Great place to de-stress
Awe have family who have a pole building garage with radiant heat. Is heated with an on demand water heater. Regardless of the heat source they say if they were gunna do it again they’ve been advised to do a sort of 8” - 12” deep footer around the perimeter as it will help to keep the heat from radiating to the ground outside. Every time it snows it all melts about 1’ to 2’ around the perimeter
