Default Winter mods

The shortshots will be here tommorrow, now I need to go to the stealer and get flange gaskets SE ac kit and some jets. Now all I need is for it to warm up a little so I can work in my garage, it uninsulated and the temp here in NY has barely been above 25 for the last 2 weeks, and today it has been snowing and sleeting.

I have tried a kerocene heater, I don't have a finished ceiling in my garage and all the heat goes to the top. One of my next projects this year is to insulate, sheetrock and heat my garage so can work on my car and bike all year round.

An old trailer furnace works great in the shop you can find'em for about $100.00 and if you are short on funds you can always put 60 mil plastic up to keep in the heat short term.
