My man cave. Those little fans above the heater work great. Only had to use 1 heating element so far. That was in 10* windy weather.

Warm is good. I use the electric, oil filled radiators.
You may want to think about a Carbon Monoxide alarm, they're cheap. The only reason I mention it, a friend has a gas catalytic element heater in his garage (it was an older one). We got very sick in the garage one day after 3 hours IIRC. He got rid of that particular heater and no more problems. |

Nice, but I'd want to knock a door down between the two sides of the garage at least.
My vette is sitting out in the rain, and yeah, it leaks. Better than leaving bikes out there, too many parts to rust. |

It's a treat up here to have a heated garage to work in during the cold winter months.

Looks like a great escape from the cruel winter! I just noticed - is that a stainless hood support rod?

Well, it's a really nice touch to a tidy engine bay.
