Ddawg, I do love your shop and it looks like it has plenty of light. What is the footprint? I was just going with 12 cans, thats why I'm considering also using flourcents. Maybe I just need to up the number of cans.:headscrat

here is a photo of the inside so you can get an idea of the layout. I should mention that my ceiling joists are 16" centers. I know the rope light is corny but I actually like the light it gives off.:bounce:

I posted on the heat A/C forum for suggestions on my heat and got fantastic answers and helped me make what I think is a fantastic choice. So.... I'm hoping the same will hold true in this forum. I have a 22' X 31' garage that I would like to have adequate lighting for. The garage will be used...

RPH, good point. I just know I won't have the time to be out there often and hate to heat all winter long (Chicago winters brrrrrr) even though it will be insulated. Also I don't want to deal with having a pump and everything else needed with a high efficency and the condensing water ect... I'm...

Awesome info from everyone thanks! I will post photos as soon as I get something hooked up.:thumbup:

Here a couple of drawings to show where I think the vent should go, maybe?? Also will it be bad to box the vent in with 2X4s so I can drywall over it?

Hatman52 thats a mean lean in that photo! Awesome. Phil, great information, I wanted a high efficency frurnace but didn't want to leave it on all the time (I would only need it on weekends when working on a project) and didn't know how to drain the condensor. Do you mind showing some photos of...

Just had a thought, if I could go with a furnace could I buy one that would allow me to hang it horizontal high off the floor like how I tried to draw in the photo? I figure I could vent it on an angle between the joist closer to the center of the garage and than take it straight up close to the...

Thanks again, Hatman, I'm guessing your a Ducati fan (me too). I did a little drawing of what I was thinking of for a traditional home furnace. HVAC guys would this idea be feasable? Otherewise I probably will go with a shop ceiling hung unit. Let me know what you think, suggestions really help...

Yes I will be insulating walls and rafters, after I do electric. I want to heat both floors. Maybe a Reznor or a Hot Dawg might be the ticket, although I would of liked to run ducts to both floors if it was possible and be able to determine which floor I wanted the heat to go to or heat both. Thanks

Here is a photo that I was going to hang a length of duct to heat the first floor if I was to put the furnace on the first floor.

I have a 22' X31' two car garage with a second floor "loft" that I would like to heat. I was orginally thinking of using a 90%+ NG furnace and vent it out the side but found out it would freeze when I was not using it. I do have NG gas line ran out to the corner of the garage in the first photo...

Brilliant! A home and a museum, very cool. Everything fits together perfect, makes me want to burn my garage and home down and start over, thanks for sharing.

Everything looks great! Really like that screwdriver rack also. Lot of talent and thought put into this one.

I used Legacy HD-015 and it came out great. If you search you will find my post with photos.

I'm sure it will, if I can do it anyone can!:bounce:

Nope, thats just how the slab came out, kinda cool. It actually looks a little warmer in the pics because of the lighting. Here is photo of what it looks like in daylight. Really love the way it turned out.

Looking great! Lets see a photo of the snow cone maker.

I like the rope lighting too, that was just a quick fix for a party I had but I will keep it. I will be running all 6" cans on the first floor when the electric goes in. Not sure what I will do for the second floor yet but I am looking for suggestions! Thanks for all comments guys, I appreciate it.

Woops sorry to upload second floor pic....
