Just payed 5 for this one.. it's only a 3.5" er

I have that one. I did get it while it was 102.00 though. Works pretty decent in my 24x32 to maintain the temp for while I shutdown the 100k torpedo. Just note that running for extended periods will cost you some money. I used almost 4 times my normal kWh for the day. This was during the 8...

Yup. It did take me forever to do. I did tape every single joint with foil tape(until I ran out). That really sealed everything up tight.

I installed mine at about 9-10 feet and have it pointed blowing down to help circulate. That helped, but the ceiling fan helped the most.

These and 1 5/8" scews worked great for me. Ideal Security Inc. SKPHC 500/Box Plastic Cap Washers, White Plastic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005TE3C1G/?tag=atomicindus08-20

So here's a pic of my usage during the day when I was in the shop working. This is 3 almost 4 times my normal usage. Based on the kwh used and the going rate it cost me 11 or so dollars to run for 8 hrs. This is with using a 100kbtu kero torpedo too. Only using the kero when it cooled down...

I make em because I get free Japanese 12-4 cable. They are thick jacketed cables rated for 600V and are free!

I was going to buy an Eastwood versa 60 this weekend but decided to buy insulation for my shop instead.

My lowes t8 linkable fixtures use a three prong plug, while the Costco leds use a two prong. I didn't link any of mine but some people might. I hope to pick up 3 of these if they are still there on Sunday. Not going out on Friday.

I love the Costco lights. I bough the final 4 they had at 23.99 each. Way worth it. Was planning on buying 6-10 but they didn't have any more. I have 4 Costco leds and 2 t8 fixtures. The leds are brighter than the t8's and are instant on. This is in my 24x32x12.

Glad this came up. I'll be putting foam up next week sometime

I am dealing with the similar situation. Nat gas run wasn't in the budget this year. I found these https://www.amazon.com/Infrared-Heater-DR-988-Garage-5600W/dp/B003XOZN7A/ref=sr_1_2?m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&s=warehouse-deals&ie=UTF8&qid=1479738727&sr=8-2&keywords=dr+infrared+heater I will be putting...

Finally got mine installed this weekend. Repainted it to freshen it up. Bear b52 8k. It's a tank.

Forgot the pics

I just got done doing this. I ran NM sleeved in conduit. Wasn't that hard to do and came out really clean. I do a lot of fab work so I figured why not. My local inspector recommended it. I passed with flying colors.
