We're moving to SW Florida, into a subtropical climate. We'll winter there as six-months residents, and go north for the rest of the year. The property won't permit a shop outside the house, and whatever I do if I do anything, it's going to be in the garage. The garage faces due north, and the garage doors will never see direct sunlight.

I checked a website for average high and low temps for the months November through April and the highs are 83-78-76-78-80-84, with lows looking like 62-56-53-55-58-62. Sort of comfortable, but I'll only know after getting there and experiencing things. It's a new house in an HOA controlled subdivision.

We spent a week there just recently with daytime highs in the middle 80s and dawn temps around 63, and in looking at a number of resale homes, all the garages I walked into felt comfortable, temperature-wise.

If you work in a garage in conditions like this, I'd like to hear about it.
