Re: Garage comfort vs work accomplished

It's currently a balmy 1 degree above zero (wind chill is -13) here in Minnesota.

The first thing I did when we bought our house was insulate the garage (3 car). I use a 30,000 btu heater when I need to warm things up. It usually takes an hour or less for it to reach the 50's or so. Enough heat to work. The only bad thing is the concrete slab NEVER gets warm. You don't want to spend much time on your back.

One of the best things I installed was a super cheap ceiling fan. It really helps it heat up faster.


I'm lucky to have enough room at my business to roll in projects in the winter and work in comfort. Not too much gets done at home anymore.
