    Single Car shop build - Calgary AB

    Right now I am debating putting a small forced air or smallish radiant tube heater in. I have already stubbed off gas and power. I think I could easily put a radiant heater in the vault, but it might be overkill for the small space and I have tires up high.

    Single Car shop build - Calgary AB

    Hi Guys, Here are some more images, sorry I am horrible at documenting the process :), it feels good to have my tool box and fab bench back at the house. Lights are total overkill! I love it. Built a mezzanine for storage which allowed me to get all the stuff off the floor. Heavy duty...

    Roof transition ideas for 2 car garage of differing lengths
