    Being a sweaty mess can really ruin a detail for me. Im not that good at stopping to drink while detailing so when I am a sweaty mess I end up feeling extremely taxed. So, I finally got AC!

    15'000 BTU in wall frigidaire..... It is paying for itself during today's job!

    I agree. Looking around now at some. The problem for me is the 20ft ceilings with 1300 sq ft. Luckily there is a big 240v fan that can be removed and a unit can replace it. Just needs enough btu's to not run non stop.

    Why not be comfortable while working if you can manage it? Certainly beats heat stroke....

    Don't worry about ceiling height, cold air sinks. If you have an exhaust fan up top that would help. I have ~30" ceilings at my shop, they've never been an issue with the A/C.
