    Garage help

    The house I bought this summer was built in 1919, the attached garage was built around the 40's. The 2 car plus garage is in rough shape and will need to be rebuilt in a few years. In the mean time it is what it is.

    The garage has a gravel floor. Not a huge deal but it dose cause some problems. Mostly with keeping the floor clean and safety while jacking. I have some metal plates for jack stability and some 1/4 inch plastic for laying on and stability for stools and stuff. Honestly i would almost prefer a dirt floor to the gravel.

    Is there anything short of pouring a slab I could do? Maybe a half slab?



    Also what are you guys finding is the most efficient way to heat your shops. Until I change insurance I can't use wood. My home is on gas. I'm thinking about just putting in a gas heater or putting in a big propane tank and splicing in my torch system.
