Guys are bums with a garage. I just need to block the wind and id be fine. Easier to see working out side most times. But all ya need is one of them $30-$40 propane infrared 2-3 head heaters that clamp right into your grill size tank. I got a two head in 12x12 work shop and I end up turing on a fan to keep it livable. As if ya turn it off your freezin in 3 sec.

Them little grill tank only cost me $10-15 to fill depends on where. and they last a good week +.
cheapest heat your gonna get. Food cost more to keep your body warm then that.

Drafty means nothing to infrared heat. much more efficient then open flame furnace. My work shop has about 30 holes drilled in the one wall so when fan is on it blows streamers of air across me n welding table, big box fan is mounted into one wall with a giant hole, crank n leaks all over. After about an hr I gotta keep the fan on cause it will bake ya out even down to around 0.

drafts mean nothing to infrared heat. Open flame it would matter as all they do is heat the air. Infrared is like the sun, it heats everything. drafts mean very little, I got tons of em.
