I have been dreaming but I had to do it, makes no sense to be a car guy with no garage. Heat, and lift this summerdamn, that is cool.

That's very nice, love the color combo. Never realized that there would be buildings that close together in Montana. I had one built a couple of yrs. ago and have not regretted it.

a lift too?????? you are going to have a lot of new friends methinks.
This is a buddy's garage, and personally, this is my ideal "shop"
Just a little cozy thing surrounded by all sorts of old stuff.

if the Austin runs outta room in his garage, it'd make a hole for it.

Nice garage. Stick framed with 2x6. Excellent. Can’t wait to do mine, kind of an odd ball size, but it’s 27 1/2 by 29 1/2.

2 feet off property line requires a double fire wall on that side, also the 2 feet is only allowed if the structure is no closer than 52 feet from curb in my town

Now I have to decide on heater, shop is 24x40 any input
Looks great. I dont think theres anything more effective than NG? Ceiling mounted.
I could live full time in garages you all (guys) build!!!

What btu? at least 50k
There are a bunch of online btu calculators that require building rvalue and volume.
You could put 2 50k heaters in and have them on seperate thermostats to control seperately?

my garage is 24x72. it is "L" shaped with a 24x24 on the upper left due to lot size. i have a propane hanging 80,000 btu and it keeps it plenty warm when turned up to 65. but i don't live in montana either.
And make sure they are all 20 amp outlets with at least 12/2 copper wiring. I hate kicking breakers.
............And make sure that they are split receptacles.

My garage is 30 x 32 or 960 sq ft. I put in a 50k btu BiggMaxx propane hanging propane heater. Garage has 2x4 insulated walls and R30 in the ceiling. I only turn heat on when I’m out there and only to 50 degrees. If your working with a sweatshirt on, it’s plenty warm. The heater really doesn’t run much. I’m in NE PA, gets pretty cold in the dead of winter.
Another option is to go with a DIY mini-split heat pump. They can heat efficiently down to -13 or so. It costs more than the hanging heater but you get AC with it.
