Default The bigger the better

Here is some pics of my 32 x 48 foot garage.

It has a 18 foot x 10 foot main door and a 9 x 7 in the rear. If I had to do it over I would do dual 10x10's in the front and a 10x10 in the back.

The walls are 10 feet tall 2x6's with a peak height of 14 feet.Both the walls and ceiling are insulated. R-21 in the walls and R-32 in the ceiling.

The lighting comes from 48 compact flouresent bulbs 100 watts each.
It is heated with a Sterling unit heater with 90000 btu output.I have a ceiling fan at the peak to mix up the air.It takes about 30 minutes to go from the 30's to the 70's in the cold months.

If it ever warms up I will paint it this spring.
Have a good one

The planes are in there already. Look on top of the toolbox and on top of the White cabinet. The only catch is they are radio controled planes.
