A friend of mine is heating his garage with a MR Heater 45k unit. It warms the garage very nice, you can actually work in shorts. My garage is the same size 25x30, but my house is all electric. I didn't want to put a electric heater up. Is it still possible for me to use the Mr Heat Propane...

Should I do it in front of the cars or on the sides?

My wife wants to give me a makeover. What kind of companies do this? I know that I want the walls to be insulated and drywalled (right now there are just studs up). I also want a air line from my compressor to be installed, and better lighting and the floor to be re-done. I do all the mods to...
