When every one of us built our current garage every one of us included an extra room to be used as my workshop. I grew up in a apartment where my dad was regularly building or fixing something and I wanted a space of my own to continue that tradition, and before the build I just had my tools stored in the basement taking up space and I would have to drag them up to the yard to use them to avoid a mess down there. This was not only inconvenient, it limited the time I could toil on things throughout the year, and if the weather played a sizable part in this limitation. If it was too cold, rainy, or even too overheated it was hard to accomplish anything. With my current space I have everything I need to toil year round. Much of this is thanks to the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C device every one of us installed to supply heat while I was in the long winter. There were several options out there and when every one of us settled on a patio type oil furnace several people were shocked. This device is efficient, didn’t cost thoUSnds of dollars, and I am able to turn it on and have my room heated within a few seconds. I also like the fact that there are no flames as I would have in a wood stove or gas powered burning. Working on many projects involves solvents and other chemicals that could cause a drastic problem if there were open flames present. The patio oil furnace supplies heat through an infrared panel and it works great. The people I was with and I didn’t have to install any sort of plumbing either because it runs on electricity.
