hello,

BTW, in some states like Idaho, you get tax breaks for insulating previously
uninsolated structures...

Found that this electric heater: Dayton G73 (actually manufactured by
Marley Products as their UH5xx series) works quite well. Have a 30amp
circuit available? This is plenty for a 13'x24' well-insulated shop in
the Chicago area.


Glad to hear that. I'm in WI not far from Chicago, with a 20x20
uninsulated, unattached garashop that I'm planning to weatherize this
winter. I bought a Farenheat 240V which looks like it's pretty much the
same thing as the Dayton and got it installed yesterday. When the doors
were closed it did a really good job for that 45 degree rainy/windy day.
It went from damp and chilly to nice and comfortable in about twenty
minutes. Near as I can figure, that unit costs me about fifty cents an
hour to run.

The orange borg is running what now appears to be an annual insulation
special. Buy $250 worth of insulation, get a $75 gift card. Time to
insulate!

Heh. In certain parts of mine, you have to buy a permit, submit a rather
complicated form documenting its thermal retention properties, use an
approved heat source, and go through two inspections.
