See about getting a duct routed off your house furnace to the garage, and install a good damper so you can close it tight when not using?
Ya, i figured it wasnt very good to do that.. I might look into that seperate duct into the garage. That shouldnt be to hard to do.

The very first winter the igniter circuit board went out right away and the Mr. Heater folks were very helpful in expediting the parts to me right away. Other than that it works great and haven’t had any other problems since the first year…..knock on wood.

That looks like a good option. Was hoping to spend a bit less then that.
