    it doesnt build up that fast, you dont have to leave it on for a long of a duration.

    If you get some of the foam they use for 1-coat stucco, you can cut it into strips and glue it to the back side of the panels in your door. they work out quite well.

    Also, vinyl backed insulation is pretty easy to add to the attic abv. the garage. Just cut it to size and roll it up. Then it unrolls/ slides really well into spaces between the trusses. a long stick and you just push it down.

      I also use a propane heater in my garage but I put in a carbon monoxide alarm at my reloading area and I do keep the door cracked open.

        I use my garage for reloading and working on my guns. I keep all the primers, powder in closet in my study, so it stays cool and dry.

          I have always reloaded in my garage, never had any problems except once when a drill press control unit malfunctioned and caught fire next to about 25 pounds of gunpowder and about 3000 rounds. Luckily I was home and fire extinguisher took care of it.

            that could have ended badly glad to hear you were able to put it out.

              It feels good to reload and work on projects in the garage and listen to the radio.

                            8-track tape... Man, that brings back some memories.

                            And I see you have the player strapped down with plumber's tape, like you'd do to a water heater. Is that so it doesn't topple in a quake? You sir are a careful man.

                              Its on an angle next to a TV over a doorway. It would take a good shaker to knock them both off.
