Thanks.

I had a kerosene torpedo heater 2 winters ago but my girlfriend swore it was going to kill me. It was really too big for the garage and unmanagable how it either lit on/off when I had it on a thermostat or else I would manually go from frozen toes to sweaty t-shirt. Add to that bloodshot eyes and momentary loss of reason and I decided when I moved back here from the farm to leave it there.
I intend to plumb in a gas fired hanging unit soon.

Currently working on a 220v welder service out there in fact just bought some 6-2 NM-B wire tonight. Somewhat backward priorities I suppose but I seem to make a habit of working that way.

I justify it in this case because I need the welder to move forward in some areas on the Camaro and I can dress for the cold. Although us Minnesotans like to brag to the rest of the Country about how cold it gets we still function in it... somewhat.

Single digits and below put the air compressor and air tools in a foul uncooperative mood. Also makes holding metal tools require clumsy gloves though and sometimes it is hard to see through your own breath in tight spaces. So you can see how it is easy to make enough excuses to sit at the computer shopping parts or doing forum "research" instead of paring down the Camaro "to-do" list.
