Okay so some of the things that i've done that are worth there weight in gold.

I put in an attic fan to let the hot air out. It was a night an day difference.



Started building a shallow attic back in January





Insulated the ceiling.



Put up a temporary curtain so I would only have to heat the back half of my Garage in the Winter.

I put up warehouse racks in the Garage so I would have a place for all of my parts.
I wanted to make sure everything was there before I sent it down to Kenny's.



Okay i just like this picture



Added two more windows. So now I actually have some cross ventilation in the garage.



Okay now the fun part. I stripped all of the tape off the joints and started redoing it. Man I hate drywall work.



This kinda gives you an idea where i'm heading with the garage redo

Actually they taped it over the weekend. I just need to post pics but i have to go buy a new Tri-Pod since i gave it to Kenny. I am trying to inprove his picture taking skill's - boy ain't got no Camera "Skills"

Heater - it's awesome. A little over kill for the garage. I could have gone with a smaller unit.
