    Venting heat from attic into Garage/Air exchange

    Thanks guys. Zak77 - The garage door unfortunately faces North otherwise that glass insert is brilliant. I don't even have a window on the south side of the garage. I've measured 125 degrees on the south side steel siding on bright days in February. Air exchange has to happen - last chest x-ray...

    Greetings gents; Longtime lurker in need of access to experienced, unorthodox minds and methods. Input appreciated. Here's the scene and the proposal: Two-car garage, 20'x25'x9', insulated and rocked. I weld/woodwork/wrench in there and I keep it clean and swept and have fire extinguishers and...
