When it's nice out, I just open the doors. When it's cold, I would do little things at a time and let it air out with a fan aimed out the dog door. That got frustrating. Last year I started looking into ventilation. I installed one of those in-line duct work fans with a tube going out to a dryer vent housing on the outside of the house. It doesn't work all that well, but it's been enough to keep most of the moisture out unless temps change drastically.
Yesterday, I was doing some welding on a stand for an old bench grinder. I wasn't paying much attention to how much I was doing and looked around and noticed the crazy amount of smoke I created. Figured I did too much at one time for the fan to keep up. Waited about an hour, went back to the garage and there was still a lot of smoke.
I have a garage attached to the house that's 10x22 and an extra workshop about 10x18.
I need something better that isn't expensive. What do you use? How well does it work? Should I just spend the money to get a good fan for the wall?
