Maybe your garage was so cold because your ex-wife stopped by!?
Haha, no I know exes (in my case girlfriends not wives, yet.). Hopefully I wasn't offside with that one.
After getting a new rear tire put on my rim this morning I went to put it back on the bike around noon. My fingertips froze in about 5 minutes of touching the cold metals. That will have to wait for a warmer day!

I did warn you about that!
Whatever you do don't touch your tongue to it!
As I mentioned, my garage never gets that cold and the heater only gets turned on when I do work in there. At a lowish setting it cycles at less than 25% on time. The cost benefit ratio is pretty good. Just don't forget to unplug.
My floor is cracking and spalling as well but it's bearable as a working surface. The multi-thousand dollar replacement is so far down the want list I'll never live to see it happen, short of winning a Powerball.

He's only concerned about your asphyxiation or possible spontaneous combustion
Ha then wood burning fireplace it is!
I just checked out garage journal and that forum is pretty crazy.
Some people really love their garages!

I think I was the last person in Toronto to ever heat almost exclusively with wood :lmao: the chimney fires were very exciting.
My neighbour still has the wood stove going and everyday I go outside it surprises me. Personally I love it but it is definitely not the norm in TO.

The first time I had a chimney fire the fire guys wanted to put a hose down the thing but I didn't let them. The second time they responded they had done their homework and figured out that was probably a bad idea. :| Some idiot called them just because of the dense layer of acrid smoke coming out of the chimney and crossing Queen street, can you imagine!

Shane, you have no kids and ony a wife to contend with. Why not just wheel the bike indoors? Put it in the living room!
Drain the gas first.
Unless she would murder you.
I am looking g for a new bike, and my shed is jammed full. I was considering rolling it in the back door and putting it behind the couch.
Wife, mother-in-law, and 11 month old baby in my townhouse, and I got the reluctant go-ahead.

Sounds like alot of fun. I am a pyromaniac so naturally I love fireplaces, especially wood.
No chance! I would make a massive mess of our house because my bike is one of the dirtiest around. She also treats clients in our house at least 3 days a week, and our living room is the clients waiting room, so there is no way that one is happening... and I'm the one saying that - not her.
A buddy of mine is giving me his bike as a winter project, so pretty soon there will be another bike in the garage to work on as well. I'll finish the garage in the spring when I can empty it out and for now just do work on the milder days. It's all good.
Good luck with the bike in the house and all you have going on.

Didn't I read some place that you work in a greenhouse? Greenhouses are nice and warm
A lot of good points here. I insulated the outside walls with roxul (I got it free), then drywalled.
We have a room above the garage that was always cold. Had a company come in, scrape out the old open cell spray foam and redo with closed cell, then replace the drywall and tape. That cost me ~$5k 6ish years ago. Double garage. Room upstairs is now 3° warmer, which is perfect. Cheap builder garage door, weather stripping all around (double fin type). My garage almost never drops below 0°, unless the door is open for a while. Just an fyi for ya Shane.
