I'm in the same boat as you, next state over. I just bought a Coleman Procat catalytic heater the other day and tossed it in my truck. I had a chance to try it out today and wow, it sure is worth it! It had the cab nice and toasty in about 5 mins, well before the vents started blowing any warm air.

As soon as this cold snap is over we are going to start a couple basements. The builder I dig for has a thaw machine.

Re: Need Some Heat

Thanks Guys. Yes this our first. I think I will have her on the skid steer first. I guess I will have to get another car seat for the dump truck.
It is awesome to be home so much right now. This is one thing I have also like about the trade. Work like a dog for 8-9 months and kick back the rest.
