    Bob, I realise I'm late to the party, but have you considered an insulated garage door. Admittedly, they do cost a bit, but really work well.

      Hi Colin

      The room is located about a third of the way into the garage. With plywood walls on both sides and the end walls of the room where they meet the garage walls, with insulation in between. Should be warm enough to both work on and protect the paints. Going to buy 2 cheap thermometers to put in the room and in the actual garage so I can compare the temp.

      Do not know if painting the floor will help as well??

        Looking good Bob. One thing though. You might regret those paints and spray cans right by the window.

        I have an L shaped bench and got very quickly tired of the leg in the angle. It is now removed.

              Sealing the floor will definitely help. You can just glue sections of solid insulation on the door sections, remember to bevel edges for the bend at roll-up.

                Oh you will be so happy in there Bob, you close the door to the horrible outside world we are in at the moment.A sanctuary indeed . Half of the fun is finding where you want to put things .

                The only thing I can suggest is think about that floor ! Cold concrete in the winter is not nice .
