Hello everyone... brand new here. Been looking around the site for a few weeks and learning a lot of good stuff. Hoping to pick a few brains with my question.
My shop is an attached 2-car garage with a water heater in one corner. Would have preferred the WH being somewhere else - but it's what I'm stuck with. I'm using DC and will be adding a ceiling unit soon... but in the meantime I'm worried about the dust getting to the pilot light on the WH. Not to mention being scared to death to try using finish out there with the garage closed up.
Question is - should I enclose the WH? If so, how much space should I allow around it? Would I need to include some sort of vent to allow air to circulate to the WH, or would that defeat the purpose of enclosing it?
Any and all suggestions are welcome!
