Garage COOLERS?
Down here(S Tex)we use old Central AC blowers,change motor out to 115V and put in a switch.Works fine but a large window type AC is best.Just don't run the engine without an outside exhaust hose!Mike CCTX

Lots & Lots of insulation in the walls and ceiling works real well and with the front & rear door open there almost always seems to be a breeze blowing through. Have a large shop fan to help coax the breeze on real hot days. It still gets hot in Aug. & Sept. but not unbeerable (sorry that's unbearable - the beer's in the shop fridge).
Also have a TV hooked up to a dish, bathroom with shower for those greasy or sandblasting days, and a hottub on the attached porch.
I spend almost as much time in the shop as Steve does. (Quality Time)

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-May-02 AT 11:19 AM (EST)]Mine is a 1.5 car garage, well insulated, w/ heater for winter & a window AC unit for summer. I also have cable tv in there for when I take a break. Go to the local thrift store and pick up a used recliner, it makes life in the garage a lot more comfortable. Also, the pool is only about 15-20'away, but the mrs. really hates the grease slick I leave behind.

Tell her the grease slick is there to keep the mosquitoes from breeding and to keep down evaporation, it is in the pool "chemicals" by some sort of EPA regulation. 
Then grab a cold one and run for cover... FAST! [grin]

At our work garage we will close the garage doors and open both office doors and put a big fan by one of them and an hour later it drops 20 degrees and were sitting cool. Here at home well, winter will come. I'll sit in the bedroom and wait for a cool day to come. Or at least a windy day.
