Default a response...

Burrrrrr is right. You've got a well insulated garage if you can keep the temps up with that level of cold outside. I'm just hoping the snow will be dry enough tomarrow to use the blower on it. Congrats on the t-belt job. That is one bear of a task, especially with all the unexpected stuff that "always" crops up.

Default insulated doors and it is under the house. not to mention the back half is 6' underground =)

right now the garage is 57 deg but I've had the door open a lot today and I have the vent closed all the way so not dumping heat in there now. the house in general could be better insulated though.

Down side of the garage under the hose is during our hot summers you pull two warmed up cars in there and close the door it adds a lot of heat to the house.

BTw, thanks feels good to have that under my belt =)

Default yep.. even the people with 4x4 trucks with summer tires are looking with confused eyes

"why is that car still on the road"


hehehhehehe

started the morning off going for coffee on a deserted road (no cars)... but there were people standing at a bus stop. Touch of ebrake and a lot of throttle input = sliding sideways down the road... straightened out and took off =) (bit close to the curb)
