I dont see wht people think I dont drive the car that much

oh well. We will be the black garage queens Idgaf!

Also tip. Looks nice. Glad the car made it safe. Atleast it was pulled by a cummins.

and only thing im not a fan of on that garage is that damn center pillar. I wish it was a straight up 2 car garage with one door and not 2. But thats just me. Because if it was it would be easier to pull one car in right in the center so you have plenty of room to do whatever work you wanted on the car.

Thats just me.

Ps need a roomate?

jk

Oh trust me, I hate having two separate doors, but you have no idea how hard it was to find a place with central air with a garage

. The TA mirrors only clear with about 2" on either side. But I'll make it work.

That cummins was a 5 speed and the man has been on the road for 10 days and has some 6xx,xxx miles on that truck. Props to that cummins that's for sure.

Those are million mile motors. Lol

My brother and I hauled a full size 80's chevy Van plus full 33 foot Winabago with a 99 dodge 1 ton with a cummins, kept the speed to 55 mph because stopping was a real bitch, but when needed power on tap like you would not believe.

Passed a car hit the throttle just a bit went from 55 to 85 like nothing loaded.

Is your garage heated/air conditioned?

It isn't, but it seems to stay pretty consistent to the temp of the inside of the house.

sleepyalero · 01-16-2014, 09:18 PM

Doubt it.

Edit: yes as long as the garage door isnt left open it will hold a nice temp.

My father-in-law installed a heater in his garage last fall, and man... I was in heaven. Even when it was 0 degrees outside, you could get that garage up to around 50-60 degrees (more than enough to work on your car) in 10-15 minutes. Greatest thing ever.

tipnitty · 01-16-2014, 09:54 PM

I'm not going to worry about heating the garage. The temps here in OK haven't been too bad. Yeah it gets colder, but during the day it hasn't been so bad. I'm about 45 min from Texas, so it gets windy as hell during the day.

When my dad lived in Watertown SD he had a 2 car garage, not attached, he had a ok propane heater and 3 box fans, that place heated up fairly well he had that for 1 and 1/2 winters then he came across a military heater that was priced just right. It ran on several different fuels but mainly diesel. that was even better then the propane it included its own blower motor and temp sensor. You could set that thing to 70 and it would maintain it perfectly he used a 17 gallon saddle tank from a older s10 pickup and dyed diesel kept that place cozy for 4 years. He also insulated the walls/ceiling.

Then he moved and now has no garage

AaronGTR · 01-17-2014, 08:24 AM

My parents have a 2 car attached garage with a work space. We have natural gas here and the house had a heater installed in the garage when they bought it. Already hooked up to the gas and vented out the roof and everything. Has it's own thermostat, no fumes to worry about, and natural gas is cheap... it's sweet! Keeps the garage warm all winter. They set it on about 55 and park their cars in there so the snow melts off and they are warm when they leave in the morning. Floor has a drain in it too.

They left Missouri in ****ty weather. But the weather here isn't bad. It's been high of about 60 and no precipitation for the past week and none for the next week. But I'm glad they are safe. Need to get my TA a car cover that won't be stolen this time, since she will be in the garage.
