Same for a lot of you I'm sure.

Have you tried out the tank top propane heaters they work good, also as well there are 110 window units that heat as well as cool. Stay warm maybe one of these days weather will let us go out and work.

Post by: countryscroller on February 05, 2014, 07:40:42 pm: Yeah, for me the "buddy" works great, but in 0 degree temps, it is a waste of propane. So I just sit inside and watch woodworking videos to get me ready to be in the shop when it warms up a little.

Bring your wife on up to Kansas mickey, we have 12" of snow for her to enjoy and it is 17 degrees at 10:30 AM for her to keep cool while playing in it. Unfortunately, we don't have too many hills for skiing however.
