    Natural Gas Heater / BTU questions?

    As an added note. Our shop at our business had 3 overhead gas furnaces (daytons). They constantly were on/off during cold weather. We took 2 of them out and only run one furnace now. It does run longer, but the temps stay more consistant now. No more up/down swings. Bob

    Natural Gas Heater / BTU questions?

    Garage fire

    Ceiling options

    We got about 3/4 of my ceiling done today. (30x40) Insulating it as we go along or we would have had all the panels up.. The insulating part slowed us down a lot. My brother got a lift where he works, so that helped a ton. Otherwise we had 2 scaffolds and ladders... Cant get pictures to load ? Bob
