I just point it at my workspace. <br /><br />One cheap and quick upgrade is to line your garage door with foam. If you have a bare metal door it makes a huge difference. My door is pretty much exactly 8ft x 16 ft, and 4 sheets of rigid foam went on very easily. You cut it with a knife, and I screwed it right to the back side of the door (leaving a dead air space in the door. No tricky cuts, some wide head self drilling screws, and bobs your uncle. Really made a difference in both summer and winter.<br /><br />zzukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09170254834612495111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-7218443212359854302019-01-06T14:25:58.366-08:002019-01-06T14:25:58.366-08:00Busy!

Unfortunately, it's an "All Electric" house, so I'm limited in my choices.<br /><br />And if I installed something like a pellet stove, I'd have to rearrange the whole garage to make space for it.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-73816127073031290142019-01-06T12:30:30.557-08:002019-01-06T12:30:30.557-08:00I started doing this stuff when I was around 10 ye...I started doing this stuff when I was around 10 years old, so I've been at it well over 50 years now.
