I have a 1000 sq.ft. carriage house (workshop) with 12 foot ceilings. It's very well insulated with 6" in the walls and 10" in the ceilings. I first thought 18,000 BTU"s but before ordering am thinking 24,000 BTU's. It would only be used when I'm out there for maybe 4-6 hours a day. Any suggestions?

Real men don't want a 2000# lift falling on them.

I just purchased a Pro Park 8 Plus and although the unit looks very substantial the installation instructions are next to non existent. 1 and a half pages of written instructions and 5 diagrams that don';t show any detail. Has anyone else experienced that?

Any coupons for the 1000# engine stand?

My house is brown. That's a class XXXVI.
