Thread: Cold Bites

Tweet

Got home last night, grabbed a bite and decided to go out barn/shop for a bit. Put the '33 on some dollies and moved it for better access - cold, but if you kept moving.... Grabbed a die grinder and started trimming back some grade 8 bolts for my motor mounts. After a minute the die grinder started slowing down - darned thing froze up on me! Trying to get things done in this weather bites!

Don't feel so bad, 10,000sq/ft shop, insulated roof and walls, uninsulated 18 year old overhead doors (6 of them located on three walls) that the landlord will not allow me to replace (I added new weather stripping to all of them this summer). Add in the 38mph sustained winds with gusts at the airport across the street already showing 65+mph and today will be a really cold day for my employees. Even with all of the gas heaters and ceiling fans on it's not going to get above 62 degrees on the production floor, and that is if they are lucky.

PS: I can't even think what my gas bill is going to be like this month
