I hate polar bears anyway.

Although I could go for this one and have the double door open.

5kw will be fine Mike. I’m in here at the minute doing a bit of training / servicing / sort out for tomorrow / drinking, and it’s bearable with the 2kw electric.
-
With the gas left in it for REALLY quick heat?
-
And c) by the time I’d fricked around lighting it and it started giving out decent heat I could have often finished what I’d gone into the workshop to do in the first place. Tyres don’t light that quickly, even soaked in waste oil and petrol.
-
I could, but a) It would be too expensive, even for a shit one and flue. And b) I can’t be arsed
-
Quick heat is most important to me tbh. I don’t care how cold it gets when I’m not in there.
-
I think this is looking favourite, vented to the outside with a pipe through the brickwork.
-
Bollocks to propane then!
-
Any thoughts on propane heaters appreciated as well, I’m not tied to (red) diesel. We’re only looking at a few hours a week in the winter.
-
The heat will piss out the roof anyway Dan, and I’m not insulating that. Half my life is stored up in the trusses.
-
I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t tbh!
-
I’ve got one of those on top of the bench and it’s great for hands, but that’s about it!

I currently have a 2kw electric heater in my workshop/gym, which is basically a brick double garage with an up and over door. It takes the edge off, but I would like more heat on cold workshop days. Adding insulation isn’t really feasible because of the way everything is configured. I fancy getting a diesel heater instead, without spending a fortune. Any recommendations? And what’s the situation with venting? Thanks.

@Firestorm, £85, final offer.

You kept your truck outdoors? What kind of animal are you?

Most disgraceful customer supplied refreshments.

Rather you than me @Ty Korrigan! -
Client wanted it left as a monolith for bugs and beasties, which, in a fairly quiet part of woodland we thought a good call. The estate is surrounded by a security fence, though, so we left it at a height we thought wouldn’t hit the fence if it fell. I think our judgement was ok.

11 years ago @Rich Rule, Stevo and I took down a big beech, totally bolloxed merip and kretch.

One who don’t jump.

You’re too old to make it purely as a climber. That’s a simple fact. As others have said though, there’s a lot more to this game. You can climb, absolutely, but not 8 hours 5 days a week. If you manage your expectations you could be a real asset. Driving and machine skills count for a lot, as does the ability to be punctual, reliable, polite, and on a lot of jobs just purely get stuck in. Don’t start your own company though if you don’t know your oak from your elbow.

If you’ve already bought one contact DMM and see if it was a recall or not. If it is they’ll swap it out for a new one.

Seen that Mick. It’s so true it’s actually frightening!
-
That is true. But he was Irish.

I hoped so, but then saw this pic when he was discharged from hospital. I think he just wanted to die at home. Fairytale of New York will seem even more poignant this year.
