Terry,

Did you insulate your garage?

If so, you might want to get a propane fired bullet heater.

I insulated my garage this summer and went out and got a heater for 100$ at 
Lowes. It makes it a bit easier to work in the garage when the temperature 
goes below 40.

But I put the brakes on if the outside temperature is < 25 and try to work on 
stuff that can be done in the cellar.

Bob (Central NY with a current temperature at 19)
