One other thing I've notice when working in the garage is that the concrete floor stays cold for along time even when the outside air has warmed up. That cold floor makes your feet cold & numb and downright uncomfortable. I wonder how some sort of carpeting in the immediate work area would help? Padding would be nice when your out there all day too.

Anything helps on the floor, cardboard on the floors also can help. When I went to a packers game at Green Bay in Dec, a lot of people brought small pieces of cardboard to sit on.

I have a small area rug that I got from Home D or Lowe's for cheap, it helps stay warm, but cleaning is a pain at times.

This is the heater that helps pull a chill out in small areas
