I know this may not be the news group for this, but I figured that there are probably a lot of back yard mechanics in here. I am looking at finishing my detached garage, and am looking for some input. The garage I have is unfinished inside, with no insulation. It is 30' x
25'. I have a 60AMP service to the garage, and am looking at using 3 x 8' electric baseboard heaters (wanted a woodstove, but insurance company stomped that idea out).Question one: Where on the walls should I mount the heaters? I would like to keep them off the ground, so I can move stuff along the walls when working on a car, and am worried a little about water. I am also concerned with gas fumes. I do not have any torches at the present time, but may have in the future.
Question two: How many plugs? I know that a good rule for housing is ever 5'. Also with this, should I stick with 15AMP breakers for the plugs, or should I consider making some higher? The only items I have currently that may draw high current, is the compressor and my table saw.
Last Question: What to use for the finished walls? Drywall? Plywood? Other material?
Any suggestions would be great.
