the foundation slab,

That's different. I'm sitting now in what will be oug garage and it has a very agricultural floor.

I don't see why we need to improve it  for garden stuff, a mower and maybe even a car to sit on.

If I too engines apart that would be different.

My man cave in the corner will get some marmox on it, then levelled with latex and then... I think a floor of many colours,  using leftover tiles*.

6" pir in the walls and ceiling of the boxout. Electric, probably infrared, heating.

 

* there's a thing... I have boxes and stacks of spare tiles sitting in the shed "just in case". You can be sure that heavy iron pots have been dropped in the kitchen, and that floors have moved. No tile has broken , ever.

 

They might if there was  grotty workmanship on the dot and dab principle, but the adhesive contact is total and loads go straight to the screed.

Tile if you want, using those free tiles that will take up space until you move.

UFH loops in the slab already with 100mm PIR underneath 😀

Mini bar?

With UFH you need to assume constant heat to make the most of it, otherwise a cold slab just takes too long for weekend working.

 

We put in two over sizes radiators, on their own zone off the ASHP. With insulation all round (except the slab), and within an hour it's toasty warm for that sudden bout of working or playing on there!

Timer to come on as setback; can deliver the temps you want, when you want them, and switch off midday Sunday to allow the space to be heated residually until cold.

What is this talk of only using at weekends? Blasphemy!

 

Probably just have a Willis heater and timer setup on a 12C setback temp, with a 15C working temp.

 

Did I mention the proposed 4 post lift 🙂

Just a 4 poster?

 

You need a 2 and a 4...........................

 

However, warm it isnt. Still to many options and decisions. And not enough money
