I really love the heating in the floor idea.

Just think no cold feet.

Insulated and vapour bariered, 1/2 OSB on walls. Installed work bench (heavy gauge steel sheet on top) New doors and windows. But no heat yetstill trying to decide. Any suggestions?

Cableguy , are you asking for suggestions on heating the place or types of heating ?
Cause I gotta say theres 3 things you can never have too much of in a garage
Space - the more the merrier
Light -gotta be able to see
Last but not least WARMTH .. nothing worse than being cold doing what you have to do

This guys garage has that radiant heating, said he pored foam over the original floor, then the tubing and concrete over that.
It is supposed to very efficient and I do know a appliance store in town that has one and loves it. I walk around in my socks in there when its -20 f and its warm.
No more cold feet. I would love to do that in mine.
They are more expensive to put in but dam nice.

Before I say this I want to put a disclaimer on it, I am not suggesting this as an idea!I know a guy who puts racing fuel (alcohol) in a large flat pan and lights it on fire. He claims that it provides just enough heat before going out. Helps on those really cold days here in texas. (40 degrees
) I have personally never tried it but I guess if you have really good homeowners insurance than go for it, you might even get a new house out of the deal as long as they don't find out you set the fire!!!

First I guess I should apologize for robbing your thread 84fiero123. (next time I get my own damn thread) and Jay is that where they get flash in the pan...LOL. My shop can get down to -20 F in winter, (thats friggin' cold) even infloor heating would be insufficent at that point. BTW the insurance company would love me to explain the open flame thing ...LOL
