    I'd suggest sheet rock all around now too.. you'll notice a huge difference with that on top of your insulation. Nice work! :)

    Right now I'm using a 250,000 BTU (not a typo) propane space heater. It will heat the entire place in less than 5 minutes, and I shut it off. No smell at all. I run it probably 5 minutes every for every 20-30, depending a lot on how active I am (if I'm sitting working on a harness then I run it more than if I'm wrestling with an engine or something :D )

    you can get them for $100 or less.

    my garage (if you recall) looks almost the same.... except mine only stays warm enough to keep ice from forming on the cars...... this composite work has rediculous cure times

    good work though!
