The current plan, and I stress the word current, shows an attached 24 x 48 garage with a partition down the center. That partition has a double 3'0" door to the garage. I had planned on bringing the gas heater I now have hanging in my garage/shop along to keep the chill out of the garage. I currently keep mine at 55 all winter. No need to keep the next garage that warm if the tools are in a separate room. The shop area would have its own heat/cooling. I've been looking at the split units offered by a number of manufacturers. Using a heat pump a small to mid sized unit can handle the 560 sf shop area. Toying with the idea of adding a wood burning stove as a supplement to the heat pump.
I have not had to deal with snow dripping of a car in a garage for over 20 years and had forgotten about it. Thinking a floor drain in the garage portion is a good idea. Maybe one of those long ones that sit about a foot inside the door would be something to consider.
