Sounds like progress and that discretion is the better part of valor.  Enjoy the weather, snowbird!

Watch the forecasts, and check them while on the road. The forecasts have gotten pretty good if you find the right website, which is not generally the DOT sites

Haha, I check forecasts, traffic cams, and call customers that live in the areas to get a real, no-BS assessment. after all my boat related weather scenarios, I have several GPS and Weather satellite apps that I rely on.

Well I now have power in the garage and it is painted on the outside. Need to get some lights hung but things are really looking up.
  Managed to cut the phone lines when the Power trench was dug, but managed to find it by calling for locate service. Of course the internet here comes through the phone line so was without internet and tv for a couple days. Not sure why the phone lines were placed where the are but it is what it is.

Interesting thing about 811. For power they will only locate to the meter. If you want to locate power lines in an area after the meter it will cost you. Cut the phone line and you loose service, cut the power line most anything can happen.

Very nice, what kind of R rating? I think my shop in Colorado once we added insulation between purlins was over 40. That shop is sooooooo easy to heat now.

Forced air or radiant?

 The heater will be gas fired forced air. I usually set the temp to around 45-55 to help keep things warm and dry. unless working out there, Then turn the thermostat up to 65-70 depending on task at hand.

So that’s what I have in the Colorado shops with exception they are electric as I don’t have gas line in those shops and normally I keep it set at 40 unless I’m living in it (recently when down there) then I keep it at 55 at night (shop warms up much quicker in morning). Back in Indiana we used radiant spot heaters (over work stations) and radiant tube heaters (over large equipment) we didn’t want to freeze such as tube saws and machining centers etc where you had things like coolant and minimum operating temperatures such as spindles on the cnc machines. The radiant was much more efficient as it heated objects. It also heats the floor under your feet which is a great benefit. If you haven’t bought the forced air you may want to inquire about it. Do not buy tube heaters from northern tool etc in my experience those are extremely small output. But have a commercial dealer local spec it out for you. Just a thought
