Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I don't disagree with Gary's point that heating a garage slab is a full time business - so is heating a home. The counterpoint is that once warm, it also retains heat well, so keeping it warm shouldn't be too costly. Radiant heat is highly efficient. As an aside, I'm not suggesting that you keep it so warm that you need to disrobe before you go into the garage in February. 60-ish is fine, and could be accomplished with a relatively low water temp, I would think. Also, remember that this is not just an extravagance for working on cars in the winter, but a practical, comfortable add-on. When you park your car overnight, you'll know that it will be snow and ice-free come morning. It also helps save batteries, etc., from freezing overnights. Two more things - make sure the structure is amply insulated, both floor and wall. I think Fine Homebuilding has published some stuff on how to appropriately do a heated slab floor. Also, get a good floor paint or tile down, like from Griot's Garage.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cars last a lot longer (rust-wise) if you keep them frozen all winter.. it sure is nice to get into a warm car on those really cold mornings, but the freeze/thaw they go through every night accelerates the rusting process a huge amount it can also mask a dying battery.. starts right up in the warm garage.. is completely dead after sitting frozen all day in the parking lot at work.. much more convenient to be stuck at home! plus, babying a car just teaches it to be soft :) chris pawlowicz '89 325i '99 z3 2.8 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neil N." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2004 6:59 PM Subject: Re: [UUC] RG6 and Cat5 in garage? > > Also, remember that this is not just an extravagance > for working on cars in the winter, but a practical, > comfortable add-on.

He's looking for used winter wheels to save his summers and not have to change tires back and forth. He's willing to go smaller than 17's if they'll fit over his rotors. I'm not certain of fitments for E46, so any advice is appreciated. He definitely intends to stick with stock offsets. He's planning to spec. out his own tires, but would entertain somebody who's got a complete package if it has low miles.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I went with a "conventional" heating system - standard gas furnace mounted in the attic (about 69,000 btu) with six supply ducts distributed around the garage with outlets about two feet off the floor, and one return duct in the center of the ceiling. And lots of insulation - 2x6 side wall construction, R-30 or better in the ceiling, insulated doors, minimal windows. The thermostat is normally set at 40 degrees so the water lines don't freeze, and it will heat up to 60 or 70 in about 15 minutes. With the insulation, thermal mass of the floor, and minimal windows it also stays relatively cool in summer. Following advice from Steve D's site, I installed awning type windows about 10 feet off the floor. This is good for security, leaves lots of wall space for cabinets and storage, and since the windows are "under" the roof overhangs, I can leave them open all summer for ventilation. If you want hot water and are any distance from your hot water source, consider a small tankless water heater. They're adequate for the few times you need hot water, and don't waste energy when not being used.

Work bench - one big and strong enough for you to put an engine up there and not worry about it collapsing. Storage for every tool and spare part you can possibly conceive of ever owning. A 220 volt line for a future lift. Another 220 volt line for the air compressor. Hey, you don't want some wimpy 110 volt compressor, you want to really be able to MOVE SOME AIR! A gas line (assuming you have incoming natural gas or propane) for one of those heaters that you mount up on the wall. A wall air conditioner (and another 220 volt line for that). A whole gaggle of 110 volt outlets about every 10 feet on the walls, and a few more on the ceiling for drop lights. Wait, 17 feet is too high - run a beam from front to back between each set of bays and mount drop lights, etc., on the beams. A media center for the TV and stereo, so you can watch the F1 races complete with surround sound. Cable TV wiring to the media center.
