Okay, I give. What is it?

 

[Weather Man]

Ac?

AC plus water sprayer? lol

Very cool :banana:

 

[rodfarva]

I guess it could be a water sprayer. I removed the inline humidifier so I could blow cold air directly I into my garage. There is nothing I hate more than working in a hot garage.

I did mine last year. My a/c and heater ducting runs directly above my garage, so I punched a couple holes and added two vents. Now I have a/c and heat in my garage all year. I just close them off when I'm not going to be out there. It's something I should have done 10 years ago when I moved in. It works extremely well, and I've never seen a change in utility cost. If anything it's lower now.

Sweet! My garage is so small I just put a tray of ice cubes on my workbench. Chills the place no problem.

Let's see more pics of the garage

This is actually not a bad idea. Florida heat is brutal. I usually back it out and work at night with spot lights.

NICE...and COOL! LOL!

I've contemplated doing this too. It's probably down the road....but, it's on the list. I still need to get my TV/Surround Sound mounted.

^^^ I'd never get any work done if I had a TV and surround sound in the garage

I just open the door into my house and set a fan in the doorway. Then I have a 80"x36" vent.
But I've often thought it would be nice to have a AC/heat unit out of a hotel room or something.

LOL! I find I get lost out there for hours with it on. I just like the background noise....

Cool - literally

Update...now that it has gotten really hot and humid here (90-95 degrees, 50-60% humidity), the HVAC unit can't quite keep up with the garage and the rest of the house. I miss winter

 

[fullboogie]

No return air from the garage to the unit? That's why it can't keep up.

 

[rodfarva]

It has a hard time keeping up with just the house

getting ready to order a few of these bad boys.

I need to get one of those portable AC units from Costco. The FL heat sucks in the garage...on the plus side, I lose about 10lbs...better than a sauna. I had to spread my clay/polish/sealer/wax detail over two weekends. I'll tackle the interior and engine bay this weekend.
