He has too many classic cars and building a floor heated garage. I'm jealous to say the least.

Ooohhh I'd LOVE to know more of the specs if his radiant system. I helped design a couple WAY back when I first got into the HVAC trade and they are pretty interesting.

I'll get some info about that system.. I'm not familiar this sort of heating for garages. I had floor heating in my house in the past though, lol.

A buddy of mine has a similar setup here in Pa. water is heated by an outside wood stove and piped underground to the garage. Works very well and he has several zones he can control the temperature of.

Please post pics as the project progresses.

I just remember fishing on the Campbell river and telegraph cove with my parents. Used to tow the Grady white from CA and stay a month at telegraph cove fishing salmon.

A wood stove huh? Pretty crazy. Pretty involved I would imagine, yet cheap to operate with all the wood back there in PA.

Outdoor wood stoves are pretty popular in this area of the country and I’m sure Canada as well. Most of the time the heated water is piped into the house and circulated through metal radiators that are in each room. Here’s an example photo I found online. They are insulated and all setup with the piping inside, all you have to do is run the water lines to the house.
