Hmmmm – then be sure to do away with ALL permanent horizontal exposed surfaces (PHES) such as work benches etc.

 

PHES is the bane of all good F1 teams.  They are a magnet for stuff (highly technical term).  After all – Nature abhors a vacuum.

George,

 

My goal for my new garage is to have a clean, bright, non-cluttered, non-crowded functional space. Part of what I'll enjoy about the garage is the aesthetics, but it is not going to be a show garage. It might just end up the cleanest room in my house because that's the environment I like to work in, but it's not so I can show it off to others. I just like to know where everything is, and I like to be able to see things (lighting will eventually be a priority), and I don't want to be bumping into walls and other cars when working.

 

The garage currently is climate controlled, but I can't figure out how that'll work because the thermostat for that secondary system is inside the master bedroom, so while the interior of the master bedroom in the winter probably would normally be about 60+ if I weren't using the secondary system (because that room would get some spillover heat from the main unit in the rest of the house), the garage would be fairly subject to the temperature outside and might be 40+. So if I set my thermostat for 68 degrees (for example), the master bedroom will heat up to 68 but what about the garage? Same story for A/C in the summer -- the thermostat is inside the house. Ideally I want a vented separate HVAC system but that's likely to be highly cost-prohibitive, so I'm thinking of just getting a window unit for both heat and cool for that garage and be done with it until things like Dartmouth tuition for Carter is done..... But I do want climate control so that no matter the weather, I can work in there without being frozen or sweating up a storm.
