Hi Ian. I didn't grow up in Kenosha but obviously have many friends that did. I'll try to keep my thread up to date.

I like it!!:thumbup:

I've been searching and reading posts regarding garage heaters. I'm building a 24 x 26 detached garage. My concrete guy didn't have experience dealing with in-floor heater tubing, so didn't go that route - whatever. I also didn't want to run a NG line to the garage. So, my choice was electric...
