Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

so I followed that link. All the data storage and who it's going to, if it is, it doesn't bother me.
About the one thing for certain that I could relate to and agree with, was a certain amount of increased reliability (possibly) from the lack of all the electronic computer bs of older model trucks.

 

nope!

also this guy farted again...what did he eat? Bout all they would get out of me

 

The truck is the only vehicle I have ever had that came with a payment book.
I actually consciously didn't fart in it for a long time...


Edit: I have spent a fortune on detailing stuff for it too -- and still suck at it.

 

I hit the parking lot with the 140, it’s melting good and it’s only 25° at the moment.

 

One place I was at had steam coils built into the In & Out ramps of the parking garage. The cost of runnin’ those rascals would be along the lines of the guy’s imagination that designed it. Limitless

Happy Saturday Folks

 

Stopped into our local TSC yesterday to pick up some new work pants. Surprise, Blue Mountain brand regular and carpenter jeans on sale for$9.99
They hold up decent and that's a good price.
I'm squeaky tight where I can be

 

Wouldn't radiant electric be cheaper to operate?

 

That's the same reason I have to buy new pants...they is tight where they shouldn't be.

 

No. Pretty much useless outside at -40. Gotta really be below ground level to make a diff. This place also had an electric boiler that if started would likely result in a Nation Wide outage. Can’t believe Folks used energy like that. Seriously like no tomorrow.

 

My shop is hot water heated slab.

I calculated radiant electric vs radiant hot water with a gas boiler as a heat source.

It was 4 times more expensive to heat it with electricity. The up front cost of 400 amp service and large wiring was also very prohibitive.

I keep my shop at 60* ( floor is around 70-78*). The $100/month to heat it is well worth it!

 

Somebody is having fun.

 

Ones who are brought up right!

 

Okay, let's be clear: ANY temperature which is preceded by a "-" is NOT A HIGH!

 

FIFY...

 

Kinda thins out the Bugs some.

 

Im a bug so yep

 

Concur!

 

Sheesh. I need to get my (smallish) driveway concreted [is that a word?] and we're considering heating it in the winter for snow removal. Now I'm reconsidering water v electric.

 

I read an article years ago about heating sidewalks.

My take away was that it was a worthy investment.
They considered:
Labor (even your own time has a value)
Buy or maintain equipment
Reduced liability from slip and falls
Concrete lasts longer
I add - you will be older in 10 years - shovel and heart attack are often used together.

They used a small gas boiler in the article, gas is way cheaper than electric.

 

I don’t heat the garage/shop 24/7. I only turn on the heat on extended days off (a miracle) so my setup is a ‘lil different.
