Hi George,

I suppose you could place a parafin heater in the garage on those really cold nights.

Also it's worth wrapping your machine and pipes etc in old towells.

Having said that when I had an unheated garage I never had any freezing problems.

Cheers

Doug

I put an electric oil heater on lowest setting when its down to minus.You can just put an extension lead from the house to the garage.
