Those temperatures are hard for me to imagine. I think it gets cold here in MA and to you 0 is probably a decent winter day! Propane would be tough at those temps. I'm shivering just thinking about it. :mrgreen: What kind of an area is the shack located in? Are you downtown, or in an industrial area? I just know that the population is sparse compared to the area I'm in.

Located at the back gate to the Army base, along side the main road from a suburban area that ties to the only way into town. Also alot of construction companies based close by. Best part only food place for 10-15miles is a Thai shack that's nick named the Thai surprise cause you may order x but end up with Z when you get home lol

Nice work. I am thinking you could use those two heaters to crank out some extremely hot and fast BBQ once you are up and running :thumb:

nice change and a good location.
I have seen propane tank heaters for cold weather work.
here is some information to judge heating/energy costs

That looks like it cleaned up pretty nice and some easy structural, that is all good. Sounds like the plan is working.

This is awesome. I'd love to do this, but just don't have the guts to pull the trigger. You Sir, are inspiring. Best wishes and prayers are headed your way.
One idea for heating, since you'll have electricity, would be to use the rolled up in-floor heating materials. The benefits would be that it keeps your feet warm first. And if you're like me.....you're finished if your feet are frozen.
The other benefit is that heat rises, so a heated floor is the best place as opposed to a vent on the roof.
This exact product is not a recommendation, just a Google search;

Not yet but been busting my a$$ on it got the insides looking a whole ton better looking. Tested all the remaining equipment it all works! got the water tanks on order, waiting to here back from local power company, propane company doing a site inspection on the 16th and got insurance on it. Been a productive week and lots of $$$ out the door lol
All the cracks are mudd'ed and sanded ready to paint
2 coats of Killz primer and one coat of a gloss paint, FRP still needs to go on then the walls are done and ready for inspection. Shelves need cleaned then they will go back up as well.
