They do have electric heating you put under the tile.
Did that before.

Her place will have a separate heat pump system for heat and a/c.

My shop area will also have a heat pump system for its primary heat & a/c also.

I'm wanting to install the radiant because I think it's a good way to heat and would be cool to have. The cost isn't much for the oxygen barrier Pex either at $0.21/ft. I figured I would have a total of less than $700 in Pex pipe in the slab. I'm a commercial HVAC contractor so nothing will get subbed out. I will do it all myself at my own pace as time allows. If I had to pay out of pocket to have this done there would be no way I would ever think about it.
Well, makes sense I guess. I THINK I read where guys were circulating water in these types of systems that was trying to get the benefit of some geothermal heating/cooling--I believe there were large and deep pipe "fields" out in the yard, would that be part of your plan as well? I have a high crawl space under my house (built into a hill, no flat land here) and it is amazing how cool it is under the house during the summer. Oh if there were just a way to efficiently capture it for cooling--no trees for shade.
A shop with AC, I'm jealous. We are soaked with sweat this morning with the temps in the low 80's because of the humidity. Setting up for a stormy afternoon.

So what type of lighting are you going to install? Our farm shop had old fluorescent that my uncle got from Lord only knows where. Well, over the last 30 years a lot of it has died. So, dad got a bunch of used 4 ft fixtures from a drugstore that was being renovated. Now most of it has died. He even bought some new 8' fluorescent fixtures and those are flaky. A while back I bought a bunch of 4' LED fixtures at Costco, but haven't been able to coordinate getting my electrician buddy to replace them. We switched to all LED at work this past winter and are quite pleased. According to the power company those lights will pay for themselves in a few years. Of course in a home shop, the light bill is fairly negligible. I often pay more just for the power to be turned on than we actually use for that month.

I'm not sold on the LED lights just yet. At least the big ones for shops and outdoor use. I still see a lot of them that fail; either the whole thing goes out, sections go out, or they flicker. I've been using the 4' "shop light" at Lowe's for $15 (plus bulbs). Just put electric outlets in the ceiling where the old lights were and plug them in. If one goes out, it's easy to take it off the chains and swap in a new one. Bulbs are very reasonable too, and price varies depending what color temp you want.

I don't know what type I'll use yet. A buddy of mine owns an electrical business and I'm sure he will hook me up but I was thinking LED. He got me 4 high bay, metal halide lights in my garage now and they give off a bunch of light but take about 5 minutes to turn on.

What a PIA this building is getting to be. 15 years ago when I built my garage it was a pretty simple process. The county has so much bs that I gotta jump through to just get a permit now.

I am zoned AG and own 6 3/4 acres but I can't have a building taller than 25' or taller than my home. Unfortunately I live in a ranch style house with a roof peak of 22'.

Any building over 2000sf is considered commercial and must meet commercial codes.

Must have a 2 hour fire wall between apartment and shop area. I figured a 1 hour but they want a 2 hour.

Existing building is 85' off of road but my home is 106' off of the road. Any accessory structure must be behind primary dwelling.

Nobody wants to talk face to face anymore. They only want to communicate through email.

Funny thing is, I'm trying to improve my property by building a new building but they are making it impossible to do anything.

Does anyone have any pointers for me?

All I keep telling myself is

That made me mad just reading it.
I'm sorry I have no words of wisdom for you, other than maybe try some bribery

Todd, maybe it's time to move. When I converted my barn into a shop I didn't have to do anything building inspector told me as long as no one is going to live in the shop they didn't care. I love this area.

Make your new shop 4 feet shorter in height, and under 2000 sq. ft.
You have no snow load requirements, so go with a lower pitch roof.

They've been getting plenty of snow down south the last few years.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
