Re: Big Mistake
Luckily when we built this home, thought about insulation in the attached garage in both the walls (6" studs) and celling r-38. The garage is a 3 car width (32' by 38' deep). There is a wall between the garage and workshop with a double door for access. Have the workshop area heated with a baseboard electrical heater on a thermostat and a window air conditioner for summer. Thought about a few other items in the workshop: toilet, wash sink, 3 gallon electric water heater on a switch, lots of light, compressed air, dust collection and plenty of electrical outlets. Even though we live in Arizona, it does get below zero here in the mountains during the winter a few times each year. When in Minnesota had an insulated attached garage that I used one of the kerosene torpedo heaters and would get the chill off enough to work in the winter when necessary. When we built this house, did not want to mess with kerosene and the smell. This is our last home so put about everything we could think of we wanted. Only missed a couple of things that could be better.
