Well you guys have wonderful luxurious garages. Still, I "feel rich" on a modest retirement with a three year old home and a separate 12'x24' frame garage which was recently electrified with 220 v for a welder and lots of lights and sockets, but it is unheated. I guess I will try two or more of those oil-filled electrical heaters for the Dec-Feb days I need to work on my roadster construction. The garage is separated from the house by about 20' of open lawn but quite snug in spite of no insulation and maybe one or two of those heaters will allow me to work without getting pneumonia. I paid attention to several of your comments about potential fires/explosions with petrochemicals in a closed garage. My humble garage is tiny compared to yours but you have given me the idea to get a heater now that my Model-A chassis is done (coil springs installed yesterday) and the rebuilt SBC shortblock is on the stand waiting for heads and intake. I think the electrical work will be tedious and may require a long time so I cannot afford to lose three months of work. Well I have learned a lot from your garage designs and just thinking about this has led me to a possible solution. Originally I thought I would just putter around and take my time assembling the roadster, but the more I put together the more I want to finish it so if I can get in a few days work in the winter months without freezing it will keep my enthusiasm going!
