Re: I hate this cold weather
I'm amazed at some of the problems cold weather creates that I have never heard of before. Guess I'm spoiled living in california all my life where driving your old car or truck year round without a heater is just the norm.

Re: I hate this cold weather
Wuss!
I just checked the Weather Channel's website and it said it's 3 degrees out (-15 with wind chill). I just finished putting rear shocks on my truck OUTSIDE since I don't have a garage. In all fairness, it says you are 17 degrees right now, which is still pretty freakin cold!

Re: I hate this cold weather
I know what you mean man. I have a garage but it isn't insulated or heated. My truck is tore down to the frame and the engine is tore apart. I'm up to where I need to primer and paint them. Paint doesn't stick to metal when 20 degrees. I'm in southern Illinois and it was in the single digits last night. I REALLY want to work on my truck!!!!!!

Re: I hate this cold weather
I feel your pain. It was 2 degrees this morning when I started my truck (4:00am). It was a balmy 21 degrees when I left work at 5:30pm. The p/s pump on my superduty groans BADLY when it's so cold out....probably wakes up the neighbors...

Re: I hate this cold weather
rage'nrat638, if you weren't 5 hours away from me, I would probably take you up on that offer. I'm hoping to have a heated shop soon. Until then, I have to wait until March probably.

Re: I hate this cold weather
I love my woodburner it heats the garage pretty good for not having insulation. 18x18 ft garage and its about 60 degrees in an hour. It takes really stokin the fire to get it warm when its in the single digits.
