Seriously it's 19?F outside and the heaters in my garage have waived the white flag..

Careful what you wish for, although it is quite a bit colder 'up north' . Not sure if you're working in an A/Cd shop, but seems like yesterday I was laying in the tailcone sweating all over myself, the tools, the parts; unable to see, hold tools, etc. Truly miserable some days. I went for about 2 weeks straight without working on anything because it was so stinking hot!

Jason, I'm in Charlotte but loving my $500 split AC/Heat pump system. About 30 minutes and it goes from low 40's to a comfy 65. If you have some extra funds, I'd recommend insulating the garage and investing in it. The summer time is where you really benefit from it!

I don't know what everyone is complaining about, I just spent 2.5 days in the hangar working on my RV-10. The high was 9f. On Saturday, there was 30k winds and snow squalls. I had to shovel twice due to the wind driving snow through all the gaps in the doors.

I would have loved to have 19f. The hangar is unheated. My 130k btu kerosene heater barely got it up to 32f.

It took me about four times as long to do any task due to the cold.

On the bright side, I got to spend the weekend working on my RV!

I had to close the hangar door to block the sun here in Arizona today.
