Hi, hope someone can help with this one. We've recently built a new shop. It'll be used as a machine shop for building custom cycles. It measures 40x50x10 with 6" exterior walls. There aren't going to be any walls inside, just one big area & We live in Northeatern, Wi. What we're unsure of is how big of a heater/ furnace is it going to take to heat this space. It's not going to be in constant use, but needs to be kept at about 45 degrees at all times. Any ideas on how to figure this? Thanks tons..... Dee
