Productivity yes. Most goes after thinking about it. I ws just laying under a trailer welding tail light boxes on. Only caught on fire 2X. Glad the shop is heated. Hard to lay outside in 40 degree rain. I have to have heat here because i need to fix, change or build everything in the winter. It gets Hades Hot in MN in the summer. Like 80 degrees some days.

80 degrees is nothing. That is good weather. We already had 2 days straight of about 86 or 89 during the day. I love 80s in Texas it's the above 100 degrees that gets me. At least you don't have to preheat metal every thing welds good when you hit a 100.

Mark can spend next winter in his nice warm cozy shop hooking up his AC and we will be following along with his My Garage/Shop Cooling Install.

Replumbed the gas to hopefully bring it up to code. Added a debri trap near the heater. Ran a 10ft section to get the propane tank to get 10ft from the combustion air intake. Carved out a flat spot, threw some sand down to level off and now ready for the tank on Tuesday. I think the gas company places some pavers down for the tank to rest on.

Hate to tell you this; but normally LP you use galv pipe not black like Nat Gas. Propane contains moisture and other corroding elements. Copper tube instead of aluminum as used on Nat gas also. When years ago I was a service tech we carried both in the truck. Don't overlook the drip legs at all low spots and connection drops to the control valve.
