(WR) #4 Insulating Garage Doors

In episode #4 we look into a simple way to work more comfortably in a garage workshop.  Like many garage woodshops my garage doors are uninsulated sheet metal.  What this means is in the heat of the summer or the cold of the winter, my shop can become very uncomfortable to work in.
