Oh yes, the insulation. My shop is in an existing barn; I used four inches of
foam as the side forms for the concrete, put 2" underneath and poured away. No
frost wall, cause I couldn't dig inside the barn withought worry of disrupting
the "footings" (stones) the barn sits on. Hasn't cracked or moved that I can
tell in the two winters it's been there. There is no water supply out there
either. Just filled the whole system up with anitfreeze. And I can't begin to
tell you about how wonderful that room is set at 60 deg. F. And lying on the
floor underneath a car in the winter......ohhhhhh.
