I move into the Shop in 9 degree weather. Anything a Man does outside takes too long and costs too much and ends up just trading money that will equal out a dead 0 or less.
I made a wood stove out of an old hot water tank laying on it's side about 5' high on a steel stand. All the scrap wood from the summer jobs goes through it.
I am still running two Makita 8'' table saws so putting them back together( again ) is a good thing to do during off time like this, calibrate the saw helper stand, new cord ends for battle worn plug in tools things like that.
Also I have a local outlet for unfinished benches and tables but they have to be cheep. I run 5 at a time using all the shorts left over from South American and yellow cedar decks. Working on the bench they go fast ending up with very little new money in them. I pull down a couple hundred a day sometimes more.
Working outside in this is foolish, not to mention other drivers on the freeway and side streets crazed by the ice and the dreaded shopping plague that haunts Folks this time of year Maddened further by the size of my truck/trailer. The end result being the equal of a 9 year old " driving " in a 4000 lb weapon.
Lets Go Get Em !
