Unfortunatly most of them will end up rusting away. My uncle likes collecting that stuff. In the spring when i go get a truck i am gonna take more pics and if someone is seriously interested in something i will ask.

My son uses a 220 Volt heater in his 28 X 36 X 10 shop and I too thought it would be too expensive but it`s not bad at all with his fairly new, air tight and well insulated shop.
Mine diffinitely wouldn't work.....

i think i heard that the 4800watt construction heaters run about 5 bucks a day. if you don't have it on all day every day thats not too bad.

The intial cost of installation is very expensive, But in the long run the heating costs are lower. Just maintenance on pumps and heat exchanger. You can install it your self. You need to buy the material and lay out a grid for the lines to run to heat the floor. Less likely hood of floors cracking from ground heave. The whole place stays warm. So working on your tuck near the floor is nice it is always warm.
In floor heating is a excellant choice. Just the dollars for first installing.
Do some research on it first. The other option is look into solar or wind power sources for heating also. I'm considering a wind power for heating my quonset besides the gas to help cut down my costs. Again the initial start up is expensive.
