List,
I sent this request for information to the shop-talk list a few weeks
ago. I got some good responses, but did not find anyone who had
actually used radiant heat in their garage. I'm plan on using the
garage to restore my TR so I guess my request is Triumph related.
I'm working on the plans for a 22X24 barn style garage with a loft.
I have a TR3B which needs to be restored. I do not plan on using it
for our daily drivers. I'm guessing that I will find time to spend
an hour or two several evenings a week in it. I need something that
can be brought up to working temperature quickly, but will not take all
my car money. I would hate to have a great place to work and not be
able to buy the supplies to do anything.
My current thought is to install only one overhead door, the other
could be added later if desired. I also want to insulate and drywall
the walls and ceiling of the first floor. The second floor would not
be heated at this time. The shop-talk archives seems to suggest that
radiant heat in the floor and keep things at a reasonable level, 40s to 50s
would this be the way to go? Does anyone have a setup similar to
this in a climate like we have in central Illinois? Is this going
to require a second job to pay for the heat?
I'm very interested in the BTDT experiences.

That ain't a scrap pile, that is my car!
