Posted the other day about my Mr Buddy heater for my shop. Today was the first I'd even used it for several days, and the longest I've used it so far.
Unfortunately I forgot to check the exact tem pin the shop when I got out there. It was well below 40 F, that's all I can say. Cranked the heater up, and the temp had gone up several degrees within the first
5 minutes. Those plastic strips I have hanging from the doorway really help. I was only out there long enough to do a bit of measuring, and drilling 4 pilot holes. Then I discovered that I apparently did not have the drill size I neeed for the final hole sizes. Didn't take note of how long I was in the shop either, I haven't worn a wristwatch in probably 12 years minmum, and the battery in the shop clock died years ago. It wasn't an extended time out there tho, and when I left the temp reading was right at 50 F. This was also the first trail run after I lowered the heater. Now it's a bit below head level when standing, and just a bit above head level when I'm sitting. That positioning helped comfort level a lot.The only down side was my smoke alarm went off a few minutes after lighting the heater, and I had to unplug the battery. I think the smoke alarm is screwed up anyway, because some time back it took to beeping every little bit, and it beeps loud. I can hear the damn thing with the shop locked, and me out in the yard not even real close to it.
The Mr Buddy heater fits my needs a lot better than anything I've tried so far, but on the other hand, my shop is only 3X12'. Plus, I usually do my gluiups in the house anyway, so I think it'll work out well for me.
JOAT You can't always judge by appearances, the early bird may have been up all night.
