It’s really not about making so I can watch tv out there , it’s just to make it more comfortable to work on some projects at the workbench. I am a wood worker and luthier so I like to keep busy. And with all that is going on the wood shop has been closed allot. And as of yesterday it will be closed till the end of next month.


Like you we don't have the sun beating down on the front of our home. The front of our garage faces northeast....here's an option to consider: we insulated over the garage and I had an exterior ceiling fan installed directly over my workbench. I don't do a lot in the garage presently, but plan to take up woodcarving again. when I do the only other thing I'll do is install a screen on the large garage door. That way it won't feel like I'm trapped inside a room without any windows
