Anyone have any experience in heating a garage to use as a workshop

winter temeratures do get low (30s, sometimes below). *It would be
nice to be able to do projects or work on the car or whatever (for
example painting something would go much better in a warmer room.)


The thought of a natural gas heater appeals to me (I have gas service)
except that they're expensive of course. *Electric heat would be the
easiest and cheapest up front, but I'm worried about outrageous
electric bills.


Also, what about insulating the garage? *I'm going to be drywalling
it, and I'm wondering if insulating it would be worthwhile. *It's
already *insulated on the wall areas that are adjoining the house, of
course.


Insulation will save you a bundle if you heat with electricity.
