Not quite Rich. That's a hoot! I should have said my inspiration earlier. It is named for my old gal, Cholla, my Labrador Retriever. She would faithfully accompany me as I was refurbishing our garage while her younger "sister" tore around the back yard. She passed away back in August at the ripe old age of 13 and a half. She was a wonderful companion to be sure (that's her in the back ground) ....

sorry for sideways photo - can't get right side up.

Sam Love the lights! I've been looking for one to hang outside my shop over my personal entrance door
Looking good! like all the equipment

Thanks Richard.

This gets mounted to the overhead (right Mikey) tomorrow with electrical and gas plumbing to follow. It is a 45K BTU "Hot Dawg" propane heater by Modine. This is good for up to a 2.5 car garage. With the thermostat at its lowest setting, I can keep it at 40 degrees to keep the rides happy and bump it up to 60 or so to keep me happy when out there in the winter. I'll post the details of all the hook ups when I get to them.

Mounted to unistrut with help from a friend. I placed a receptacle in the ceiling near the heater to power the blower.....

Sam, sorry to hear about your dog passing.. I know it is very tough when they go, they are just like a member of the family... Your garage is looking great!! Hopefully we won't need the heaters much this winter. I'm hoping El Nino comes through with a big bang here in Ohio!!!!
