I have a dry erase board in the barn. I put their name , tool loaned and the date. I don't loan to just anyone. But I have been burned. But I like paybacks. One so called pal wanted to borrow my half inch torque wrench. the clicking kind. Brought it back and said it worked great as a braker bar...
R-13 in the walls and R-60 in the ceiling. Two mouse farts and the barn is heated to 50*. Moved the compressor to shed next to the barn and plumbed the barn. Love it.
I can't go outside to take a leak since I'm surrounded by houses. So I Put a hose through the wall in a corner and hooked a big red funnel to it. Works like a charm.
Last year I used the sticky traps. Worked great. Untill I let it go for a couple of days. Checked it and found 4 feet. That's it, just feet. Alway's wondered what else his pals did to him before he was ate? Went back to regular traps. Now I just feed the local tom cat so it hangs out more.
If you go the used route, don't take their word for it that it works. Rig it up so it puts out heat before you invest any more time and money. Trust me.:mad:
Mine is 28x40x12. I studded the walls, put in R-13 already wrapped in plastic. R-60 in the ceiling, then put up osb on the walls and ceiling. Going to use fuel oil for heat this winter.
