Thanks everybody. This helps.
I mainly wanted to do the blown in for ease, but maybe its better to do the batts so I can get r22 in the storage area. Can I do r22 batts in the middle sections for where I want my storage floor, and then just blow in some loose fill on either side? I don't want to do floor in the whole attic as that would be overkill. The drywall ceiling is already up with vapor barrier.
I think doing the furnace thing is probably wisest now that I consider it. I know they're not high end but Princess Auto has some okay ones on sale for a decent price. I have read that Its actually not the greatest idea to have a massive furnace, as it would be less efficient. As in, to keep it at a certain temperature a 80000btu furnace would likely kick in and out a lot, likely shortening its life span.
As for the 220. Its definitely not essential, but I think it would be nice to have. Maybe a welder. I like my woodworking, so maybe a bigass table saw. I'm pretty good with electrical and I have some electrician friends, so its not as big of a deal as if I were to hire it out.
