Love the E36 and love the progress!

Here is an image of the plug from the heater. Its old, and doesn't have any "nemo" stamping or code numbering. Which is connected to this style of heater - taken from internet because I dont have a photo of the actual heater. And here is the 6-50 receptacle installed in my garage.

You are correct, its a 6-50...I just mistyped here. Going to update the thread title and info here right now. Will upload pics of the heater plug and outlet right now too.

***Note that thread title should be 6-50 not 16-50 but I am unable to edit the title*** I'm looking to use a basic plug in heater for my single bay detached garage for this winter for the odd day I plan on working on my car in the garage. Previous home owner installed a Nemo 6-50 receptacle for...

Haven't been able to work on the garage at all since we finally started ripping out our old original parquet flooring and laying down our new oak hardwood floors the past week and a half. My dad is 70 years old, and a retired contractor who's been working on houses since he was 18. Needless to...

I have a similar story to yours, minus the rebuilt house part haha. Both my girl and I work in the creative fields (I'm a creative director, she's a wedding photographer) and lived in Toronto for 2 years a couple years ago. We needed a bigger place, and wanted to get back to small town life so...

Correct - it was capped due to improper venting, not the leak. The leak is the reason I called the guy in to have a look at it. Its definitely an antifreeze - has a pink hue to it.

Correct, I want to keep the heat constant but on low while I'm not in there. I'd like to keep it warm to keep my project car warm, along with everything else I store in there from getting cold during the dead of winter. I am fine with being out there in a sweater to work on my car, I just dont...

I realize that now - unfortunately at the time I had no idea.

I agree, unfortunately being naive at the time and myself having no experience with natural gas, radiant heating or anything along those lines, I took his 'expert' word for it and let him cap the line.

I've been in my new to me home (first home purchase) for 2 years now, and I'm looking to fix the shoddy work of the previous owner who DIY'd the radiant heating install in the garage. A bit of a background below: Previous owner had installed full radiant heating in the cement pad during...

Thanks! So far mostly stock. Small changes like E36 steering rack and such. Planning to do a full suspension refresh over the winter now that its off the road until April.

I've been a lurker here for a little bit now so I figured its time to show everyone my (basic) first home and shop. 2.5 years ago, after my girl moved in with me and we got a puppy we realized a 600 sq/ft condo in downtown Toronto wasn't enough space for us. She works from home (self-employed...

My boy, Gus. 3-year old border collie / aussie cattle dog mix. My first dog I've ever had and he's my best friend. Doesn't spend much time in the shop with me because he prefers to sun bathe in the backyard on the grass while I'm working in the shop.
