Heat in the Winter, and A/C in the Summer. I've just been organizing my shop lately. Went through a bunch of boxed up stuff since moving in 2018 and made some more floor space. Got my reloading desk setup for the 1st time since moving into the new house/shop in 2018, and man do I have a bunch of primers...LOL Got my Dell Server rack moved and installed my Dell R710 Server in the rack and getting ready to install another 64 GB of RAM memory in it, and install a fresh image of 2019 Server Standard on it and make it a Web Server. I figured I might as well start hosting some websites and make some side money. I've finally got all my parts needed to totally rebuild my 70 Chevelle 402 that's going into my 72 Monte Carlo. The engine in it right now is a complete rebuilt 396 SBC Stroker motor with only break in time and a 1/2 mile of driving from my buddy's shop to my shop, so it's going into the 72 Chevy Cheyenne 4x4 pickup.

I use a 68k BTU propane heater, but below 40 I'm not usually out there.

Took out a propane furnace out, just cost too much for propane. Just put this used oil furnace in a month ago, love it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Daughter asked me to build her a stand to hang her coffee mugs on at her house. Installed two new LED security lights on the back of the house.
Wife and I sprayed the lawn. Getting ready for grass growing as crazy as it sounds.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I'm hiring my young neighbor and he/we are chopping up a huge non functional hot tub to get it out of the room through a sliding patio door. Turns out they stuffed all sorts of foam scrap around it and then apparently sprayed in a bunch of liquid foam to hold it all in place. What a mess!
Also, the floor joists were all rotted out around the back of the hot tub, so it's a good thing I decided to finally tackle this project after 18 years. We already tried to get it fixed but they don't make parts for it anymore and nobody would touch it - "oh, you can buy a new one cheaper than fixing it" but how the hell would you get it out and another one in ????? We're just going to build a new floor in the room and use it for - I don't know yet - maybe a guest bedroom or move my reloading stuff in there from the garage ...?

And in the process of cleaning up we discovered that nearly all of the floor supports were all rotted out so instead of just filling a hole with 2x6 decking, the porch room is going to be getting an entirely new floor: all new joists and 4x8 subfloor. Also need to figure out how to mitigate the moisture problem ...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got the 3306 from posts 676 and 679, put back together and installed into a power unit skid and ran over the last few days. I ran it on propane for about 2 hours to make sure that the oil psi would hold once the oil was good and hot. 40lbs at idle and 75-80 at 1600 rpms. All ready to go back to the field and run for 8-10 years non stop.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Excuse my ignorance but why did you paint the cylinders, lifter valley and pistons?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Didn't realize places were still having issues. All gun stores here have good inventory and ammo.
