Warm place to work.

I share a hangar with two other planes but it sure is nice to be able to haul my Onex home to my heated shop when I have some work I want to do. It is about 12 miles each way and takes about 2 hours round trip on the back road at about 30 mph. Glad I built a trailer for transporting and I can do it by myself if necessary.

Here's a photo Tony Richardson took in his workshop in Jan 2014. Would that be a warm enough place for you to work?

Just to make the conversion easy, that's 118 F. Might be good training for the afterlife though.

When it comes to hangar space I think I would rather heat than air condition!

When it is minus 9 C (16 F) I find it uncomfortable to work in the hangar and it is not only comfort but the availability of all my tools, etc. On the other hand I regularly enjoy my sauna at home with the temp at 75 C (170 F)so I will take the heat any day-just sayin.

I use a ceiling mounted infrared radiant tube heater to heat my 24X32 shop, like this

It's set at 38F when I'm not there. Within a couple minutes of turning it on you can feel the heat, set at 50-55F when I'm working. My Waiex is almost directly under the heater so it warms very quickly. I use 100-150 gal/year propane.
I'm considering a mini split heat pump as well to use mostly in the summer for humidity/cooling in the shop, like this.
