I built my garage a while ago, and my only regret was not insisting on under slab foam and putting tube in for 'someday' radiant heat. I have been pleasantly surprised by how well a single overhead 220V electric heater works to bring inside from 32 to 50-60 in 30minutes, BUT the floor is still...

Hi Bob, Just found your thread, love your cars. I am a VW fan (86 GTI was my college car) and am not too far away from you. I am considering finish materials for inside my garage and would like to know where you purchased the metal panels for your ceiling and lower walls? looks great Im...

I too am hunting for used furnace after reading this post. I am thrilled with idea of waste oil to heat the garage in winter.. thanks for sharing your work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for sharing - one question about the Werner vs Gorilla, I have seen that the Werner can be set up as 2 "A" frames to support a horizontal platform however I don't see that as a feature for the Gorilla? Can the Gorilla ladder be reconfigured for double "A" frames to support a platform?
