I would but it would upset you,Jim.
Its 70 and sunny with a light breeze.
I will be looking for cooling ideas here
before too long.These 100-110 degree days
are rough.My shop is 40x45x14 and there
are 6 cars and tons of stuff in it.

We were at a local steel recycling yard when
Home Depot brought in a pile of the green and
orange shelving units like they put the riding mowers
on. About 5 foot wide and 12 foot high.We got a few and
they didnt last long.My neighbor has them run down one side of
his shop.

Ever change out you central heat air condition, inside. The fan makes a great breeze and you don't have to build a frame for it.....

Jim did you plumb for floor heat when you built the new one? From what I have seen that is the best way to go for heat. The tubes for in the floor are pretty reasonable. If I ever get to build mine it will definitely have the floor heating in.
