I do need to do a bathroom over never thought of doing it in the walls. Going to look into that. I am really happy the way the ceiling heat has been working out.

Thanks. I don't mind working out there now as the temp is resonable

Addtional pictures I keep the garage at 55 during the week and kick it up to 65 on frday morning so its warm for the weekend.

Thought I would post about my heating system in an existing garage that I then added to. The original garage I built 30 years ago had no heat. Walls were just studs. I have since added a large L shaped addition to the old garage so that I can park my RV inside and my lift. On the new garage...

You can try using a Garvin industries / Southwire 5"x5" x 3" deep square box. Comes with a hinge cover and you can add a 2 gang plaster ring for the depth you need...

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.
