Well, I have made the decision that there is no way i can get all the cab body work done and in primer before weather gets too cold, so.. I just decided to get a mini-split for the shop. I have a very large window AC unit now that works ok, but its the heat that kills me. I use propane heat now and i DO NOT LIKE IT. Its a "wet" heat and the fumes are horrible, so.... 30,000 BTU, 18 Seer 240V mini-split is on the way. Sucks, but for under $1,800.00 for all, including electrical ran for it (i do install) its worth it. Also, found a really cool youtube of a guy who built a 3 bay pre filter that mounts above the main inside blower unit. This will not only protect the unit but me from bad fumes and dust. Built out of plywood and uses paper style 20"x20" filters.
