    "Big Box" store Lumber vs. Lumber Yard

    I'm 13 miles south of Menards, but my local village has an Ace hardware. They have VERY limited hours, they close at 5 on weekdays, and only 8-12 Sat. They have to price high, because of low volume. So I hardly every go there, unless I just need a few of something. Just today, I went to...

    Share your work methods of hanging a garage heater from the ceiling

    Some great ideas here,, weather safe or not is a different story. ;) I was thinking I'll just use the drywall lift when install time comes,, that I've had in the garage for years,, at 90lbs I might need a hand setting it up on there. I was just texting my neighbor to tell him he was invited...

    Interesting Propane questions.

    You're mixing up pounds and gallons. I know it's head turning :headscrat That 4 GALLONS a day, would be based on my usage. You won't get ALL of the gallons out of a tank either. This is all approximate. :lol_hitti your last sentence swaps lbs for gallons. So using all of the 150 gallons...

    Interesting Propane questions.

    I have found this chart on a few different gas co sites. Seems to me a 120 Gallon 4ft lil fatty tank would be fine for my usage. If it's below Zero outside,, I won't be going out there anyway! Maximum Intermittent Withdrawal Rate (BTU/HR) Without Tank Frosting* if Lowest Outdoor Temperature...

    Can't do that,, as I have a meter at the house, and only pay for what I use. Your way would have me stealing gas.

    Interesting Propane questions.

    I guess I'm not sure I'm following your first paragraph. In my area I may see zero F a few days out of the year, but snow from Mid Nov till late March. Being and hr or so from Big ol Lake Michigan, that tends to regulate my temps, compared to same locations in states west of me. I plan on...

    Interesting Propane questions.

    Tri County homeworks in Portland is who I have. The metered service is nice as I only pay for what I use monthly and they keep it full. $1.69 is my going rate now. I must add it's a 28x48 uninsulated pole barn. I don't plan on keeping it at a constant temp, and only will be a weekend warrior...
