I live in a northern state and keep my garage at about 40 degrees all winter. Since my floor is sloped out I get a nice big puddle just being the garage door every winter. Any reason I can't just put a drain basin in the middle of the garage near the door? Something with drain holes in the...

The attic is first on the list. I'm making a parts list and taking a few days off to do it all, just wanted to make sure I have all the parts to utilize my time. I already have attic insulation and new door seals figured out. Walls are 2x6 so r19 there. Doesn't sound like garage door is worth...

Good point! Minnesota, so -40 to 110 degrees. North facing garage opening, 20x42 (tandem). Infloor heating but only in the back 20x20 portion. It takes a long time to heat up but it's infloor and only 1/2 the garage. The ceiling is a mix of R40 and r19. I'm going to address the r19 part but it...

I wasn't doing a great job of clarifying, I would definitely do duct work between the gable fan and the vents, it wouldn't be open to the attic. I did see one brand that has temp activated fire doors, but I want to put the fan at the gable not the ceiling as pulling air works better than...

Thanks for the response. To clarify, I want to put the fan in the attic, but it would be pulling it from the garage and pushing it outside near the peak of the attic, out a gable vent. Is this still a problem? I will check for negative pressure tomorrow. It's an old car and when I start it I...

I have a tandem 4 car garage and in my back stall is where I keep my older project car. When I start the car I always open the garage overhead and usually a window on the opposite side of the garage. But due to there being about 20' behind the car and the fact the car has side exhaust, one of...
