Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Speaking of…
My neighbor has gone full Griswald!

 

Radiant heat panels?

What kind of electric? Baseboard? Or, are you looking at forced air with a heating element?

Infrared sounds interesting. But, I don't know much about it. Sounds like it's efficient but has drawbacks.

I guess whatever gives you the most BTU's per dollar.

 

I guess the important question to ask is what are you doing with the heat? Long term steady temp or just heat it up fast when you want to work on the 80.

 

This may be to costly, but infloor heating.
Neighbor has it in his shop. It keeps it comfortable all winter.
Your 80 will thank you.

 

I think its a little late for that.

 

That'll be for a (hopefully) different property. My dream is to find a few acres and build a home with a shop. For now though, I want to spec out my current garage for better year-round use.

Plus, if anyone wants to work on stuff in relative comfort, happy to have you guys out any time.

I'd like to keep it above freezing during the winter months. Better on the batteries/tools/fluids stored in the garage, and better for the vehicles too.

 

my question is why is gas out of the question?

 

Is @SRH in on this?

 

Cost/permits. I'd have to have a new gas line sent out to my detached garage.

 

Permits?

what an interesting concept!

 

Good ol Milwaukee county.

 

IIRC you can bury the pipe and just have the gas comp. make the end connections and doesn't have to be that deep.

I would check cause a little gas furnance would be much easier on the wallet.

 

You probably don't need the gas company to do anything. But, you probably need a permit to bury a gas line.

It probably needs to be 18 or 24 inches deep.

 

Just saw it…. Tks for thinking of me❤️

 

Y/W

 

Well, you kinda can. When you show up at a TW outing, there's a good chance someone will do something stupid. The stupid isn't preplanned. But, it's gonna happen.

 

Alright I was finally able to be able to return my foglights hopefully I will be able to get my money back. Anyways if I go with the SS3 I will need a wiring harness and such. Should I just get one off of Amazon or get like stuff oem? I dont want something thats crappily made obviously so I dont know what the best route for that would be. Second thing is I am looking at getting a smoked third brake light. I dont know if I should just get like a normal smoke one off of amazon, again my concern will be like quality I dont want to have a water leak from that. My other option I was looking at was the morimoto x3b one which would be more expensive but I know I would get a better quality but I dont know if I am entirely sold on the look. Would like to here yalls two cents on these things

 

I don't disagree. But, since the 100 amp is already going in (I want to weld and other stuff), I'd rather not also have to put in a gas line too.

I think infrared will be the ticket. Seems to be a good middle ground and very efficient.
