I have the HF one for my little welder and it works well. If you do not weld everyday its pretty handy. I have been using it for about 6-7 years and it has held up.

I am kicking myself now that I did not run hot water pipes in the floor when I had the chance. We talked about it but the price I was quoted we a tough pill to swallow at the time. Now I realize it would have be totally worth it. After some of these comments and more thinking I am considering...

Great information. I am pretty much sold on the outdoor wood boiler concept for my heating solution. I would just like to get as much information as I can so I can be as informed as possible.

Thank you everyone for the comments. Lots to think about. My house is only a year old and performs pretty well really for as much open space and windows as we have. The energy audit we had performed as required by the county seemed to show good results. My home is two story lofted with concrete...

Thank you for the comment. This is the path I want to take but I am not the only voting member in the house. In fact I think my vote counts for less than my wife :headscrat Our fireplace is custom and was a pretty penny. Plus it looks pretty when there is a soothing fire going. I do not think...

Hello all, I wanted to thank you all in advance for any responses I will receive. This is a heating question for my shop and home. My situation is that I have a forced air electric heated home and electric space heaters in my shop. My house has two electric furnaces heating about 3,300 sqft...

Don't worry, I am working on filling it up. :)

I did quite a bit. I have a Polaris ATV that snapped the throttle cable. Took it all apart, and ordered parts for it. Changed the oil in the Volvo and Jeep. Hung some signs up that a buddy of mine gave me, and got the mustang out of the house garage and moved to the shop so I can start working...

I have pole construction and insulated with R19 unfaced in the walls and used a plastic vapor barrier on the interior. Then covered with 7/16 OSB. I also spray foamed all the seams and cracks in the building before I started. I do some welding and some metal work in my barn but not near the...

I am sure others will chime in but my cousin has an oil burner in his shop and speaks highly of it for the reasons you state. Cheap heat, a way to dispose of used oil. He does say that it goes through a lot of oil and because of that he has to get oil from other people. He has also said that if...

There have been a lot of useful suggestions on here. For me as I have an all electric house and not easy access to gas/propane, I decided to use two 5000W Comfort Zone heaters for my 30' x 48' barn. They would take the chill off the air while I was insulating and finishing my barn walls and...

Hello all, Long time lurker but new joiner. I am still relatively new to the work shop scene but I did just "finish" my latest pole building. I say "finish" because it is never really done. My building is a 30' x 48' x 13' pole barn. Aside from the basic building construction and concrete, I...
