Hey GJ, I am a lurker but hopefully I will start renovating my single car garage this summer.
My biggest question is how to heat it. My garage is an attached single car with no house access and a cathedral ceiling. So figure 13x22 with a peak of 18ft. I was thinking after I insulate, rock, and replace the garage door I should be sealed up pretty well. Would a standard electric heater attached to a thermostat be enough to heat it? Something like this

I don't need it to be 90* but I think a comfortable 50/55 would be nice for winter work. Do you think I should run a ceiling fan as well to circulate the heat better?
I do have a natural gas, forced hot air system that I could run into the garage as well, but I feel like that would be wasteful and not as effective.
Thanks.
Sean
