My uninsulated 20x40 quonset garage is hard to heat,even with two 55 gallon drum stoves going full tilt it barely gsts above 50 in there if its below 30 outside,especially if its windy..if there is some snow on it that helps insulate it some--but then water condenses on the inside of the arches and drips all over everything...indoor rain!..
I usually wear my "monkey suit" out there,Zero-Zone coveralls that are one peiced,with many layers underneath.like a t-shirt,sweat shirt and a insulated lightweight coat under it..as long as my feet stay dry ,I can work outside for at least a few hours before I get chilled..I use thin gloves that are rubber on the palm side and cloth on the back side for wrenching,I hate having frozen tools sticking to my fingers..once you get arthritic in your 50's you wont want to do any wrenching outside much,once those fingers start aching,and your wrists,it takes days for the pain to subside..
My garage barely has room to park my car in it,I have 4 large garden tractors in it along with snowblower,pressure washer,compressor,my car,so not much room to even walk in there now..in fact my car is so close to the stove I dont use it unless I move it outside,and two of the tractors parked behind it with a plow and snowblower suck to move--so lately I work outside on my truck unless its REAL nasty or windy out..usually I stay in the house instead,I have had enough of the snow and cold already--had 3+ feet of snow here since dec.21st already..
