John -
Congrats one a job well done. I'm sure the time and $$$ spent will come back to you many times over. Personally, I'm a lot more productive when the humidity is low in summers, but I'm warm in the winter.
It used to be that natural gas was an economical way to heat around here, but those days are clearly gone. If I acquire my my folks house, I'm gonna install a heat pump, but with a new efficient furnace as backup, and the portable A/C unit will get moved into the garage.
Alas, I am still working on the re-landscaping work at my folks house, and it has been one step backward for evey two steps forward this year. Looks like it will spill over into next spring, but I hope to wrap it up in June. Perhaps, then I can breakground for the new garage and still have enough time to get the shell done and the cars moved home.
I had scaled back my dream to a 20x20, but you convinced not to go too small. Now, I'm thinking of a four-car garage so I can put all the cars and parts down back. Then, I can gut and insulate the attached, 24-foot deep, two-car garage and return it to its former glory as a great workspace.
Now, if i can just find a viable alternate energy source.
