That's certainly my fervent hope. It also prevents your heater from dumping
CO, CO2 and moisture into your shop space and prevents your heater from
eating up the oxygen in your shop space.

My shop is OK, but I can see why some ventilation could be a good thing. If
the occasional opening of a door is not enough, I can flush it with fresh
air with my two small windows and the small fans which sit on shelves built
for the purpose. I have a door from the shop to the outside that I seldom
use, but it does not seal right.
My garage is definitely ventilated. The eaves are perforated, and there is
no ceiling. In the summer, the TR4 smells like gasoline after a spirited
drive, so I often leave it sitting in the garage (the 'Burb can sit
outside!) for hours and push it into the shop later.

Not likely, but the pun on the founder's name was too good to pass up. BTW,
I don't listen to him. Prefer dIRE sTRAITS, Bonnie Raitt, Jimmy Buffett,
Joe Juliano., Big Head Todd, Crow, Robert Cray, Don Ellis, Jackson Browne,
Jethro Tull, The News, any number of jazz-rock folks like Herbie Mann, Odell
Brown, Johnny Lytle, Gabor Szabo, BS&T.
