Default RE: What's too hot?

You guys rule! Thank you all for your input. I have found a unit at Lowes and at Home Depot that is a portable A/C unit. It's 14000 BTU which is supposedly enough to cool 800 sq. ft. The garage is only 424 sq. ft. so this should be good. The unit is cool (pun not intended) because it reclaims it's own condensation so you don't have to have a hose or drain running to the outside and it doesn't need to vent to the outside. It's only $380ish so this is certainly doable. I am planning on making this more of a man-cave with the carpet and TV on the wall and refrigerator and stuff. I even plan on having a lazy boy in there (the best "dog house" you can imagine!!). It'll be several months before it's done but I'll try to put some pics here and refresh this post.

I really appreciate y'alls input. Storing the wings and planes and such and learning the proper way to do this is important. My main concern is my 2 meter ships because they are fiberglass but also balsa lined to increase rigidity. One set of wings is built up with the others being foam/balsa. I just don't want anything happening to my retirement....errrrr....planes. Thanks again to each of you.
