We had the foundation dug this weekend 32 x 34. 14 foot high door for the boat and a 10 foot for the tractor, etc. Figure it's an investment adding to property value and, what the hell, that's why I am still working at 63 1/2. So I can afford stuff like this.
The down side is I will miss the pour today and some of the site prep as I flew yesterday (Sunday) for a week on the road in FL.
might as well build it double wide. I'll drop mine off each winter...:devil2:

Absolutely!! Framing starts Monday if the weather holds.


I am unsure about the heat. I was going to do a wood stove as I have 15 acres of oak but the idea of leaving a stove going with a boat full of gas gets me nervous. I think I'm gonna do a "salamander" propane unit.

I agree, flames inside a closed room with vented gasoline tanks is not a good idea. How about a external, wood burning boiler like this: Greenwood Aspen Series Outdoor Wood Boiler and Outdoor Wood Furnace

Great idea.I would love to but I think we are talking another $8,000 or so without the plumbing.

Many boat shops are heated with wood stoves here in Maine, I know of 6 fires in the past 30 years, none od which were a result of the wood stove. All fire were a result of sponsanious combustion from left behind rags, epoxy, resins.......... With 15 ac of oak, I would construct a safe wood stove area/room, you can add a blower cheap. I hate the smell from those salamander heayers while I am working.

Current code in MA for a wood stove in a garage is that it has to be a minimum of 18" off the ground on a non combustible surface with properly installed non-combustible backing. I put a wood stove in my garage and had it inspected for code (insurance purposes) but unfortunately, I can't fit my boat in it :wall:

Gets to 80 degrees on the coldest of nights!!!!!

Jeez Piscator,

You went thru the effort of putting the non combustable backing and undersurface and then go and put the big pile of combustable wood within practically the same distance.......the insurace company may be pricks writing you a check seeing that.

BigFish 12-19-2010 10:09 AM
I don't recall seeing that code about being 18 inches off a garage floor??? Is it a wood floor??? I have a cement floor so I am guessing not necessary in my case??? Or as many towns do...they institute their own regulations???:confused:

Thats a nice Russo....I had one just like that but it would have been too big for my 14 by 22 shop so I got my hands on a smaller Jotul compliments of BigBo!

Next year he's building the garage bigger so the boat will fit inside. Then he won't have to see it sit in the yard all summer when he can't get permission to go out.....:biglaugh:
