Off cuts at a great price. Going to put them over insulation to cover the walls and do a slat wall configuration based on a shop notes idea.

Looking good - love that radiant heat setup! Tell us about the insulation plan.

We have a reclaim poly iso foam insulation guy here in town that will be hard to beat for insulation. It will be what I can get a deal on with a decent R value.

R19 fiberglass batts and the framing for it and my ply walls were $1800.
Heat is radiant floor (water and glycol in PEX) and heated by a radiant boiler that is NG. Once to temp the slab and death will act as heat sink. The boiler heat will not cycle on that often. It will be kept at 50-55 degrees. This is what I am thinking but have never actually done so I will let you know how that works out. I am copying what a few hundred garage journal guys have built mostly.

You will absolutely love in floor heat. I'd keep it a bit warmer though. I used to work in an aircraft hanger with heated floors. Nice place for a nap.
