Hopefully this is RV specific enough ...
So I'm having a new house built, and I've incorporated into the plans some customization to support making my garage into an RV building workshop.
Contractor calls me today asking about this, we get to talking, and he says something to the effect of:
"Well if you're going to heat your garage, you're going to have to watch for ice damming in the garage roof and the soffits just outside the door ..."
Basically, the warm air will escape from around the garage door, which is of course not sealed like normal doors usually are, and rise, and possibly (likely) freeze and cause ice damming on the soffits or whatever happens to be in its way ... (in cold Canadian winter, of course).
For those of you from cold climates and and with garage workshops ... is this something you run into? How do you solve it (easily/cheaply)?
Thanks!
