Don't we, as 914 owners, have to work on them EVERYWHERE we park?

Unheated S. FL garage, and if it is going to be getting colder than 60 when I am there, you better believe I will be buying a heater.

2 car garage attached to my house, and 10' away from my office. Problem is you might find me under the car instead of in front of the computer.
Oh yeah, and it has central AC with heat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Luckily I have access to our fleet maintenance yard and can do the big stuff there. It's unheated except for a kerosene space heater. The small stuff I can do in the garage at the house. That is if I ever get the big stuff done and actually get it back to the house. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

unheated garage
long underwear, flannel pants, jeans, undersirt, thermal shirt, sweatshirt, and fleece jacket all at once make heating unecessary . . . at least so far. Dealt with 35 degrees so far. |

Unheated 3 car garage attachted to the house. Coldest temp so far while working on engine rebuild 15 deg F. I have a space heater that I put right next to where I am working so I don't totaly freeze, but the polypro long underwear helps a bunch.

Unheated 2 car attached garage, or the driveway. I have too many projects to do everything in the garage. And if it's less than 50dF out, I sit in the nice, warm house and leave the projects alone. I'm a wuss...

I have a small house with a detached single car garage, just keep the car in there during the summer, and can do small stuff there or in my driveway, but the major stuff I do at the house I grew up in - 2.5 car, lotsa room, big compressor, and a 150,000btu kerosene salamander that blows a big stinky, smokey jet engine mess when you start it up. I store the car there during the winter and get to work on it during the winter downtime. It's really a nice setup. Plus, I get mom's cookin' as the bonus - "Oh dear you have to come over, I made too much lasagna".....
I'm Italian, I can't pass up food. EVER.... Keep all my tools (2 rollarounds and lotta small stuff), dirtbike and all the riding gear on my porch (good sized and heated too). Was never an issue until I got my 914, but because I don't have a real garage yet, now I have car stuff inter-mingling with my offroad stuff - OH the humanity! I want a 4 car attached garage - one bay for the Jeep, one bay for the wife's car (need a woman to marry first I suppose (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) one for the 914, and one for the offroad stuff. Then, I will be complete........ |
