What's The Temp in Your Garage?

What about putting an old furnace squirrel fan in your garage?? cheap and if you mount it at the furthest point away from any opening windows, it draws cool air through. We used to have one in the loft of our A-frame cabin. The air pulled through was a hell of a lot cooler than what was in the cabin. Old fans are cheap.

 

in my garage today one-hundred-and-really-fucking-hot-in-there. But I was still weldin and grinding.

 

It's a nice cool 70 degrees in my shop this morning. My brother lives in Phoenix and is forever telling me 'It's a dry heat'............don't turkeys cook in 'dry' heat????????

 

One word, Houston!


I haven't REALLY worked in the shop for about 3 weeks. No A/C, sheetmetal roof, no insulation, no A/C. Its basically useable 8 months out of the year. Summer time equals rounding up parts, plotting, planning, working to pay for parts. I'm not going to spend all of next summer crusierless like this one.

 

hotter than shit.

 

Mine is 12 in blocks and half in the ground. Keep the doors shut and it stays 65-70 when it's 90 outside. Also retains heat in the spring and fall. But when it get's cold it take's some wood to bring it up to speed, best to keep a fire going. Next time I will build all underground, batcave.

 

71 degrees, 24/7/365
Gotta have air conditioning in the humid south

 

This pic was taken in my garage over the holiday weekend. I was still welding/grinding away.

 

Yeah... But how cold does it get in the winter?
I think sub-zero and snow is harder to work around than 100 degree sunny days!

 

Gotta be in the 100's in my shop till I get it aired out a little.

 

Around a hundred , then I wait a couple hours for the a/c to cool it off

 

Heat I can handle, its those damn skeeters back in Bama that I surely don't miss!

It was still 100 at 11pm last night.

 

Lets just say it's hot enough we are all wishing for Dennis to come our way. Galvestons beaches need a clean-up anyway . No rain since the first of May...... we have been cooking in a furnace for 8 weeks.

 

I can handle the heat in the garage. It's the shoveling the drifts and chipping out the ice with a 6 foot breaker bar just to get the damned door open in the winter that gets to me.

 

It's hot in Texas this time of year. It was 112* in my garage Sunday, and very humid. I didn't get much done in the 30mins I spent out there before I damn near sweated myself dehydrated.

 

It's friggin 110 in the paint room right now. The paint is dry before it leaves the gun. We will painting late again tonight when it cools down.
