Cold Weather Sucks!

[LuxBlue]

My painted pieces (battery cover, oil tank cover and swing arm) will be done by this weekend. My garage is FRIGGIN' cold so it won't be any fun re-assembling my bike. But I can't wait, so I'll probably lose a finger or two to frostbite 'cause I'll be impatient to see her together. I hope spring is around the corner, got a lot of riding to do!

LuxBlue, I picked up a 35,000 btu tube heater (salamander) at a garage sale and used my propane tank from my gas grill to turn my garage into a toasty little shop. You really don't need a whole lot, just enough to take the chill off.

This pics was taken on a day when it was 10 degs outside.

12" snow in my drive way this morning i hate winter!

I worked on mine in the cold for the last couple of weeks.
My garage is unheated, and I considered a propane heater. I opted not to because of the mower and bike and gas cans and such with a flame heater.
Am I over concerned about the risk of fire, or worse explosion?

I also have a fuel oil torpedo heater 110,000 BTU ( thermostate controled ) for a double garage. I'm in a short sleeve shirt within 6 minuets. Consider a smaller BTU if you have a small space.

Hell, it was even 'cold' here this morning-34 degrees. Should be back to 70 by the weekend tho'. Think it's winter's last gasp around these parts.

Thanks for the ideas. Unfortunately, I'm in transition and only rent my current house. It has a vaulted ceiling in the garage with louvred soffet vents and NO insulation. Any heat I generated from a heater would go right to the ceiling and out the vent!! I was thinking of using clear plastic to box in a working area and use my kerosene heater to warm it up. If that doesn't work, I figure it's much more fun to have a wrench slip and bark you knuckles when you can't feel your hands. Keeps the blood flow down!
