    I have a 5000 watt ceiling fan on 220 v and it is'nt enough to heat the garage on it's own when the temperature drops below 0 C. Plus it cost an arm and a leg in electricity. So I have a diesel, kerosene 135000 btu heater like you have on the floor and that heats up in no time and is'nt expensive to run. The problem is the fumes. I've seen diesel heaters like the one under your desk but is it enough on it's own to heat and maintain a reasonable temp.ex.15 C ? I have a 16 X 24 insulated garage unfortunately when I had it built I did'nt get the cement floor insulated, I regret. Thanks for sharing your experience with different heaters, I was about to change my diesel heater for propane. Now I know better.

    • @FRUGALWITHJOHN

    I don’t get why someone wouldn’t get a garage heater, which is an enclosed electric coil with a fan behind. This is what they’re for. I have one. It’s 27 amps at 240, 5700 watts and works very well. I bought it from Nothern Tool almost ten years ago. It cost $99. I think it’s maybe $125 now. I don’t understand the fetish over liquid and gas fuels for heaters. All of these are dangerous in one way or the other. Don’t use propane heaters in an enclosed space. It’s very unhealthy.

    Simple C to F formula even I can remember. Take your 15 degrees C . Double it, 30 degrees. Remove 10% of your 30 degrees, 3, or whatever your total is depending on your temp C you started with. Take your 27 degrees and add 32 degrees. Hope it helps, like I said if I can remember it, it must be simple.

    • @FRUGALWITHJOHN

      What I know, 0 C water freezes, 100 C water boils, 21.5 C is a good temperature to set the furnace in winter. 24 C is a good temperature to set the AC in summer. What I am getting at is, I know how Celsius feels, Fahrenheit not so much. If somebody said, it is 27 F outside, I would not know how cold that is or what to wear. (yes, I could do the math -2.7C) The hard thing is when someone says it's 27 outside, I need to think, where is he/she if from.

I turn them down to 35 deg. when im not working and around 50 deg. when im working. Can reach 90+ deg. on a - 20 deg. day. No fumes, no problems. Easy and thermostat controlled.

    I was using a 75K torpedo to heat the shop (20x30 w/12' walls and 15' ceiling). The wife came in and showed great displeasure over the noise and threat of CO poisoning. She didn't care that I'd been using it for decades. She insisted I buy electric heat, so that's what my son and I did last weekend. We installed a 6KW 240V commercial heater 8' up between the 2 bay doors along with a thermostat set at 50 degrees. It's just enough to break the chill at night and I can turn it up when I'm inside the shop.

    I have a 42x36 shop that is ekevated thirty inches higher than the parent building with a wood floor. I cordirned off a tinker area of about 14x8 with a tarp wall and two foors from a sliding door takeout. Electric heater for that area I beat the redt of the shop with s pellet stove that takes a while to get started and hests for about five dollars for eight hours. Pellet stoves are forced draft with a twinin h intake pipe and a three inch exhaust. A good pressure balanced set-up. You can usually find s good stove like sn Englander for about 4 hundred. They can be dhut fown safely as the pellit feed shuts off and the stove only shuts down when the temp sensor tells it is safe and the fure is out I could see using a Diesel heater to get the temp up snd the pellet stove once it reaches temperature. I wouuld say that insurance should at least permit use of s pellet stove, but you need vommon sense and not go away from the house in case of a power outage creating s smoke show as the pellets could bavk. burn into the fuel reservoir.

    The GE I took out, I had for 15 years, (I got it used for free) I did replace the pump assembly a few years ago plus one other minor repair. The new Midea was $250 plus tax, Considering they make a lot of dishwashers for North American companies, brands such as GE, Whirlpool... I look at it this way, Midea makes GE, so I bought another GE dishwasher for 1/2 the price. The cheapest GE dishwasher around here is over $500 plus tax. (Nowadays everything has built-in obsolescent) Thing don't last as long, so I can't justify spending a lot of money for an appliance with a five year life span (possibly 10 years).

      I prefer Wheels over tracks, they do have some advantages but are hard to move around.

    I use a propane heater in my garage right now, I’m thinking of having a company install a gas heater since it’s right next to the meter anyways. If only there was a way to combat the moisture problem

      The only way would be, run a dehumidifier, in this case you better off just going with a heat pump.

    I have found I really only ever use the blower in 1st or 2nd gear, but I have a gravel driveway on a slight hill. The other 4 gears I call "Transport Speed", LOL. And while it has 2 reverse gears I don't think I've ever used them at all, I just put it in neutral when I want to back up or turn around and then just do it manually. A lot of that could stem from my having used an ancient old Ariens 10M4 for years though as it only has 3 forwards speeds and 1 reverse and when it's in gear you don't even have to hold onto it other than to steer it. The augers are engage by a short handle on the side in front of the engine, as well as the drive handle which is just behind it beside the belt cover. Only controls it has at the handlebars are clutch brake, throttle, gear lever and chute crank.

    Get ya a gallon of WD-40. It's a boatload cheaper that way than by buying the small aerosol cans, then you can put it in a squeeze bottle with a steel or plastic needle tip. No aerosol, but can still concentrate where it goes.

      I have been using 15w40 and diesel fuel mix for years for lubrication on my stuff, works good, but on some stuff I use PL-100.

      @@FRUGALWITHJOHN I mainly use it as a penetrating oil myself, and also as a rust remover on stuff like cast iron saw tables, along with scotch brite. For lubrication I use a mix of 10w30, stp oil treatment and whatever else I can drain out of the bottles after I change the oil in my truck (letting them drip into a jug overnight to get the last drops) and put them in an old thumb pump oiler.

      Thanks for watching, I will update on the dishwasher from time to time. It is safe to say, no news is good news.
