>The garage was one car long and 1 1/2 cars wide. He has a window

>The plastic that covers the left side of the garage has 2 filters
>(like you use for you heater return in the house) taped over holes
>in the plastic. The plastic on the rear wall has a hole cut in it
>and gets taped around the window with heater filters placed in the
>window.

>Now the really neat part. He made an extension for the garage.
>There is a PVC frame that just fits in side the main garage door

>seal the frame to the inside of the door frame. The top and bottom
>of the frame have another frame attached to it that get supported
>by removable PVC pipes. This way the top and bottom will fold up
>for storage. The entire frame is covered with plastic. In the
>left and right sides of the extension plastic there is a hole cut
>for a box fan. These 2 fans end up with a pretty good draw through

John,
What a terrific bit of information. I for one am a visual learner, Do you
think you could diagram your explination and attach it to your SOL wed
site?
