A balmy 59 today in November in Wisconsin it seems like a great day to work on the garage! Sounds like cold rain and snow for the end of the week,oh boy we can hardly wait!

Sounds like you got alot done today.All with NO injuries? Now that is something to be proud of!!!

I saw you taking pictures while I was working,so why didn't you post them yet?

I try to remember that what we may think is trivial to us, is a life changing accomplishment to others,you know that by sharing your daughters special day with us! For that I thank you, as it made my day!

Please give my congratulations to your daughter,GREAT JOB!!

I know about the LP problems just worried about the possible problems with kerosene as far as the smell but if people don't think it is too bad I'll look at it

I built mine with a loft area and I'll try to post some pics of it for you to see

Well I took the input from the members of my board of directors(wife )and went with insulation ond osb.I think she can't wait for me to live at the shop on a full time basis.She has been very open to all the things I'm doing out there as far as lifts and power equiptment(air...

Good point still lookin at all options

kinda my idea too.I think the air gap will help a little because the steel just passes the cold right inside the building.for the 1000 or so for insulation I can by alot of gasfor the 2 or 3 days i heat for a couple of hours
