i know i could run it through the wall, but being ex firefighter i just can't justify the safety aspect of having a 1 inch pressurized gas line alongside the garage where it can be hit.
i am kind of **** when it comes to safety items like that.

Build a guard around it of some sort. By the by. Do you guys really run that big a gas line? Is that inside or outside measurement? The feed into my house is only 3/4" inside and I run the house furnace, garage furnace, water heater, and fireplace off that with no problem. AND a gas dryer.

So my issue is, do i really want to spend the money on this house now, ya know...
No moving. You need to stay here so we can hang out more. You need to stay in Jersey.

You don't need any extra help running into things. And since when are you back driving?

Nothing like cold concrete to leach out the body heat...
Just tubing cost was about $700 for my 32 x 40 slab.

This is about as much of winter as I care to see. We can go back to temps in the low to mid 40's anytime now.......

Yeah, that is fun, in the right setting.
Traveling 55-60 mph on the freeway towing a skid loader on a 20' deckover trailer............. not so much.

Morning everyone.

Cold outside..about 0 as far as I can tell. Roads glazed over last night and caused all kinds of accidents..about 7 last night I looked out the window and there was a car in my neighbor's ditch.
