Curtis - Where do you live that it is -12ºF?!

Tim and others:  In Ely, Minnie-soda it is (at this moment) -22ºF - and in Fairbanks Alaska it is a "balmy" +10ºF for comparison!
Moral here?  Move to Fairbanks!  LoL

Yes - basements are GREAT - provided the water table allows them.   Like you said - very moderate/stable temperature year round.

Hello again everyone, this topic has taken off...

First with Bill's heat.  I suggested a few years back, when he was re-building his house and workshop, to earth berm his house and perhaps even dig a basement.
he said that this kind of things just were not done over there.  Earth is an good insulator for both hot and cold.

As for me, I have a two car detached un-heated work shop, I use a radiant Kerosene heater.https://www.amazon.com/REMINGTON-REM-80-OFR-Radiant-Heating-Square/dp/B07GF9JQ1F I very much like my heater. its not as cheap as it once was to use, but this heater is quite and heats the shop nicely when I am working out there. I normally go through appx. 50 gal per winter. 
For me digging another basement and earth breaming my place just isn't as easy in  a city environment. ;-(  But perhaps... anything can be made possible. ;-)

Take care everyone, It's  -12 F* out tonight. Stay worm.

Hello Timothy,

 

Like anything in this world we are constantly repairing or upgrading, 4 days ago it was the blower motor on the pellet stove, yesterday it was replacing the belts on the snow thrower, today it’s a leaky hydraulic ram on the tractor loader.

 

Can’t say enough good things about the LP gas Rinnai EX 38CWP wall heater, super efficient, dependable, care free, has 2 washable stainless steel mesh filters, a water reservoir to add necessary humidity, easy installation, only complaint is they keep increasing in cost my 1st one 5 years ago was $1200 now their close to $2200; actually have 3 of them between my 2nd house, my wife’s art studio and the shop.

 

Apparently you sent your Minnesota weather to my brother in Texas, here in Northville, NY its 36° freezing rain with a big snow storm on its way in 2 days.

Hey Michael, 

thanks for replying back. Always interesting to hear what others are using. 

Have you ever had to put in any parts? Sounds like it works pretty well for you.

Tell me a little more about the wall unit you're using?

 

You're very welcome on the weather. I never like to keep things for myself and my Mom taught me to share especially 

gifts like a long winded Polar Vortex. lol. Sounds like by the weekend we may  be out of the basement for a while. 

 

Kind Regards,

Hi Timothy,

 

It’s an American Harvest about 12 years old designed to burn most anything (but not coal), have burned corn and even cherry pits in it but now just wood pellets as that’s all I can find; cost me about $7.50/day to heat my 2400 sq ft home at a comfortable 70°F during the coldest times January, February, and March.

 

1200 sq ft shop is a super efficient Rinnai EX 38CWP propane wall furnace that cost me only about $2/day to heat at a constant 60°F.

 

Thanks for send you weather my way,

Yep I will go along with that. Now please forgive my ignorance but what is a corn boiler

 

Here a boiler is a pot we cook food in like lobster or yabbies in, is it some sort of large heater over there?

Tim,

I think I heard on the radio that Ely hit minus 50ºF yesterday or the day before!

I believe they said it was a record low temp for that date.

It ought to be very safe for you to go out ice fishing this coming week.

Stay warm.

Hi Curt

 

You already probably know about this guy but here goes.

 

 

He has like a user group where  he periodically sends out emails that have projects in them.

 

I hope this helps, keep warm.

HI everyone.

 

I hope everyone  is well?

 

Its COLD in my shop, So I spent most of my day staying inside. I've been

looking for projects to play with on the Legacy and or my Lathe. On the internet today.

 

I want to do some more bone turning, I have already cut out a number of bone disks, I am looking forward to gluing them up into something that I can turn, soon.

The problem is What should I make?

I don't like pen's! 

I have already made a number of magnify glass's and other kits type of projects. 

 

I have gone to a number of dollar stores and hardware and thrift stores, looking for cheaply made things that can be re-worked. but so far no luck finding anything new.

So I thought I would ask you all.  Dose anyone know of a nice projects, that you like to make? Family heirloom type of stuff.  Perhaps a letter opener? or ???

 

Any and all ideas are welcome.

 

Looking forward to talking to you all more.

 

Have a good night.

 

C.A.G.
