TRDdrew's shop updates and improvements- The Cruiser Cottage (1 Viewer)

[WarDamnEagle]

it also doesnt help that the cruiser cottage has no insulation lol but i think tapping into the big tank will be the way to go

Well that's a bit of an obstacle.

Let's please, please, PLEASE be careful with propane.
We had a tragedy out here in Loudoun last year.

Year in Review: Sterling Home Explosion Rocked Community, Fire Service

On Feb. 16, firefighters from the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company responded to a report of a gas leak at a home on Silver Ridge Drive. Less than an hour later

It has really increased my care and awareness in handling every LP vessel I come in contact with.

Wow. Such a tragedy. Such explosions are very rare but are also very preventable. You have to be equally cautious with natural gas - not that much difference between 90+% methane and 90+% propane:

The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) for propane is approximately 2.1% and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) is around 9.5%, while for natural gas (mainly methane), the LEL is around 5% and the UEL is around 15%.

Drew get some insulation that will make all the difference. That little ready heater is pretty good. Could also get a hanging unit with fan and that will serve you nicely.

thought about doing insulation but with the plans for the new shop not sure i want to invest that into this one. We will see even after the new shop is built this one will still stay so might not be a total waste. ill just light up the solo stove inside after all they are smokeless right lol

Spent some more time on organization, tossing stuff, putting stuff in the new rafter space. Mama wanted some tote space so she gets the bottom shelf

Mama wanted some tote space so she gets a small part of the bottom shelf

Fixed it for you.

 

[TRDdrew]

Fixed it for you.

Pretty much lol, she didn’t want to put much out there but also being only 5’ and hating ladders. There were compromises made lol

 

[TRDdrew]

Spent today out in the shop doing something that I knew was going to suck, I was right.... it did. But I'm a little more than half way through my hardware organization project

 

[TRDdrew]

This is all I have left to organize, but this is going to save so much time not have to dig through that drawer

@TRDdrew it does suck…BUT, I know of only a few other shop jobs that offer such a good feeling once it’s done

You’ll need one of those Brother P-Touch labelers next…

My wife has a nice label maker, the marker was just temporary and wipes right off. But you are right nice feeling of accomplishment

DONE

I have one empty drawer left in the cabinet. And excited to have two empty drawer in the Mac box

 

[TRDdrew]

Came out last night and just swept up, had cold one and watched some dude build a cabin on YouTube lol

Maybe I should have started working on these axles lol

 

[TRDdrew]

Replaced the worn out garage door seal, kinda a pain by yourself but got it done. I'm sure it will squish down more once the weather warms up

Half way through it I thought I was smelling fuel turns out the 80 series tank is leaking. I suspected it was but this confirms it. Not looking forward to that one
