good idea to keep the heat in the garage at all times, Those Florescent lights don't want to start up when its cold, kinda like a British car.I know you are keeping a retro look but LED lights are awesome especially in the workbench areas.

Paul - my fluorescents are rated to start down to, I believe, 0 deg F. The garage will be well insulated when all is done (garage door is insulated too. I know what a pain most fluorescents can be in cold temps (last winter showed me that [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif[/img] !). Thanks for the heads up. LED is impressive technology and a good investment.

Nice work, what's the deal with the Hot Dawg ? Is it gas ? That thing would heat my 30x40.
FYI, I keep my stat at 45 all winter, 96W flo light fire right up.
Lookin' good Sam.

Sam,

I have an 80K BTU Hot Dawg in my attached garage. It gets the job done in a hurry. You will love it.

Garage is looking great.

Great looking shop, excellent planning.

Thanks - my research led me to picking a model that takes its combustion air from the outside. If there are combustibles such as gas vapor, or saw dust in the garage there is a higher likely hood of explosion if combustion air comes from within the building. External combustion air heater requires an extra vent and is a bit more expensive but gives me some piece of mind. My heater uses a concentric vent system which combines the two vents together shortly after the two vents leave the back of the heater. It is something to consider when you are putting your shop togeither.

I think there is enough &quot;hot air&quot; blowing around over there in Gilbert that you should be good to go! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/whistle.gif[/img]
