They are a PITA to stand up, that's why I lay them down. No, it's not right but as long as you don't use it immediately when you get home you're fine.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001MYWBF0/?tag=atomicindus08-20 You won't regret it. I've even saved batteries that were supposedly bad.

Fuel oil is MUCH cheaper here too, but they won't deliver that small of an amount, let alone my tank is not an "approved" fuel tank so even when they are filling my house, they won't touch the gear oil keg fuel tank for the garage furnace...

If your not heating it to the same temp all winter, don't get radiant. Too much energy wasted going up and down in temp every weekend. Forced hot air. I use a fuel oil mobile home furnace and have a small 15 gallon gear oil keg I made into a fuel tank. 30 minutes and you can be at temp. Simple...

Wow, so excited you're back with updates! Life happens and sometimes we are forced to make hard decisions. While getting rid of the Willys must've been hard, keeping the house was wise! Still amazed by your build!

Why not swap the position of the the two current mini spits. Since cold air drops and all.... just a thought

I epoxied my floor and the carbides chewed the concrete up. They should, otherwise they arent sharp! LOL

Energy Logic are very nice. Ours literally paid for itself in the first 3 months! As far as size, I have no idea. I would have a pro figure it out along with how many zones you need. Make sure to lay the oxygen barrier pex out to leave room for the lifts to be bolted down without drilling thru a...

Copper first, then ABS plastic, black iron, specialty PEX meant for air systems, then galvanized. In that order, those are your best choices. Lots of factors determine which is truly the best for you including budget, and whose doing the work/how capable you are. Edit: ABS plastic is a...

Why would the new 80k blow hotter air than the current 75k furmace?

4 degree's without the windchill outside, 41 degree's inside the shop. I'm in the house at 70 degree's LOL

75k. Technically the 45k is enough, but if you're going to be varying the temp, you need a quick recovery time. That's the same thing I do. Keep my garage at 40 when I'm not out there, then 60-65 when I am. The 45k wil run for almost twice as long to get the temp up as compared to the 75k. My...

We have a hunting camp with a vent free propane heater. Its actually an office trailer, 10x46. We run it off a 20lb tank. Usually lasts about 24hrs on a tank, give or take, with outside temps in the mid twenties. There is no reason you cant do it too, just remeber how oftern you will be changing...

My garage is 24x34, 16' door on the 24' end. Basically becomes a one car garage. I have stuff on all three walls so two cars side by side is VERY tight. Usually it ends up one car centered, then all the **** that gets "stored" in the garage until we figure out where to put it. Really wish it 6'...

Looking good! If you can get that much done when hungover you'll have it finished in no time! Haha

The main problem with converting a fuel oil furnace is the size of the chamber. They are usually too small and it requires lining them with fire brick which in turn makes the chamber smaller and impedes flame travel. It basically a circle of shortcomings that you need to keep compromising for...

If you want to reatin some temporarly, just hang plastic and staple in place. It wont insulate any, but it will minimize the exchange of air which makes a huge difference. Then save up and have it spray foamed. You can insulate the sliding doors your self with foil faced foam. That would help a...

I actually have that exact size garage. Well kind of. My actual garage is 24x34 and I built a 16' lean to off the end making it 50' long. My garage door is on the gable end. This makes it a tiny two car garage basically with a decent size end spot of 16x24.... I absolutely LOVE having it 34'...

Forced hot air heat will dry it right out....

Yep, nailed it
