    New garage floor already chipped

    1 correct size heater, or 2 half sized?

    Best option for exposed wiring/framing?

    Garage is almost finished (pics forthcoming), but its just a place to park. I wont be insulating it, just storing cars and lawn tools. Should i go with emt, or can i get away with exposed romex. I have no idea what the code says and it wont be inspected.

    Concrete slab, or gravel

    Need advice on whether to go with a full slab, or just a perimeter foundation with gravel floor in my detached garage. This unheated garage will only be used for parking and storage. I have another shop for shop stuff. Big winters out here so snow and ice is the enemy. Im not sure what would...
