JB's Shop.
Mar 17^th, 2011 at 6:39pm

Well I figured I better post some pics of my shop. I am not a set up as most of you but I get by with what I have. I basically just converted my third stall in the garage. It works for now. Anyway....just thought I would post some pics for the masses.

Thanks, No dust on the cars though. You see that scrim in the background. My brother in law runs a canvas craft and whipped that up for me. It Velcros shut in the middle and is on guides so I can push it back out of the way if needed. Works pretty slick. It also helps keep the heat in a small area in the winter. The great thing about it is I can open up the garage door and blow all the dust out with a leaf blower.lol Works like a charm.

It looks like a gas heater. I am thinking of changing out mine for the shop. Can you share any details about it. Thanks, Dave

Dave,
That is a 1979 Modine 110,000 btu gas heater. They where mostly used for industrial buildings. It's a bit much for such a small space but works well. They are built like tanks. I picked it up off CL for 100 bucks. The new ones are supposed tefficiente efficant but running this heater in a 900SF garage cost me about 30 or 40 extra a month. I keep the garage at 35 when I am not in there and crank it up to 60 when working. I was was told by hvac guys that 60,000 btu would be the norm for a garage of my size. I guess this one just runs less and gets the job done faster. I shoped the new ones and they were 500 bucks give or take.
