December 1998:

    I spent most of the fall working on turning my garage into a workshop where i could work on my conversion project over the winter. I had the 20' x 24' two car garage built last year but it had no electricity and was not insullated or heated.
    To get electricity out to the garage I had to dig an 18" deep trench some 40' from the house to the garage, I'm glad I don't do that for a living! Then I installed conduit and pulled the AC wiring out to a breaker box in the garage. I wired in 120v and 240v outlets along with flourecent lighting and a garage door opener.
    To work out in the garage during the Wisconsin winters it had to be insullated and heated. I insullated the walls with fiberglass batting and the ceiling with foil faced foam insullation boards. I use three small electric heaters which aren't cheap to run but they do keep the garage toasty warm.
    To top things off I built a workbench and bought some shelves. Check out the pictures:
