Hey folks,
Being the proud owner of my own brand new garage I am of course also facing certain challenges and I'm curious to read your opinions and/or experiences on the following issues...
Ventilation. Currently there is none, I'm about to order a vent hole/pipe in the roof (not mechanical, just a vent) because certain types of wood have green dust growing on them already! Everything feels dry, the green dust can be blown off into a green cloud (I can start Vincent's magic shop on the side, I guess), can't see any moisture but it's got me worried. Does anybody use non-mechanical ventilation in a non heated garage to their satisfaction?
Low temperatures. Winter is approaching and my garage has no floor insulation and no heating. Is this a problem? Also I got water works coming in. Could it freeze and snap?
Some additional info: my garage is in between 2 others. It's 3 metres wide, 10 metres deep and 8 metres tall so that's 240 cubic metres of space inside. The front and back are outside walls. The front has the garagedoor in it with the one and only vent currently (not enough I reckon).
Looking forward to reading your comments and ideas to (possibly) improve my garage
Thanks,
Vincent.
