    SBerry - Thanks for the link. That makes some sense of the ventilation. The heating is still a great concern though.

    3-Car-Garage to Paint Booth Design

    I drew up a quick sketch to assist with conceptualizing the idea. Where would be optimal placement for the natural gas radiant tube heater(s)? How can I ensure that heat is sufficient throughout the building if all the heat is on one side? Maybe 2 window openings to the booth with filters and...

    NUTTSGT- Thanks for moving the thread. Also, the vinyl siding is a great idea. Fortunately the house i'm looking at is surrounded by multifamily homes on all sides. That's one nice thing about the community. Mine is also a duplex, so tenant backlash would be one thing i'll be on the look out...

    C96 - Thank you for the advice. Do you know a resource that I could reference for answers to my questions? I have found very little information on the subject of autobody in general over the past few months.

    Yeah, I get that. I'm not painting Ferraris or anything. I want the work to look professional though. I'd like to restore cars in my part time year round. I'd like the work to look good enough to get attention and have people call me to have their cars painted.

    Title says it, I am buying a house with a 3 car garage. Currently, there is a dividing wood wall between 2 of the units. I could take part of it down, or build a door through to the other side. My two main concerns are heat and ventilation. I have done some research and found that infrared gas...

    Apartment Garage - Removing dividing walls

    Thanks, it's a 1973. There are actually 3 walls to tear down. Seems like it might be a lot of work, but not too much cost wise.

    Apartment Garage - Removing dividing walls

    Thanks for the advice Kevin. Do you think this would be an expensive project? The width of the garage is 18', so it shouldn't be hard to find a beam that length.

    Apartment Garage - Removing dividing walls

    I believe the brick is hollow. Is that going to cause any problems? I called the city building dept and there are no problmes modifying it or with renter storage, although theres enclosed basment storage also. Could this problem be solved with a couple beams allowing me to keep the current roof...
