Title: This looks great.
Post by: Bucky on June 27, 2009, 09:19:39 pm

Hi Everyone.  This site looks like a great resource.  I will be sharing the experiences I had this winter.  I built a MEN burner about 8 years ago and brought it out of the moth balls to heat a 30x40 boat shed with 20 ft ceilings.  No insulation, only a single layer of white shrink wrap plastic for walls and roof, and a wet dirt/mud floor (frozen most of the time).  I was rebuilding a wooden catamaran using a lot of temperature sensitive epoxy.  Did I mention I was doing this on the coast of Maine?  We had one of the snowiest winters I can remember and it was COLD!  It all worked out in the end, but what a learning experience!  I look forward to posting my adventures and sharing what I learned with everyone.

Welcome Bucky.

Sounds like you had some good adventures with your heater.  Its a little slow out here during the summer months, but hopefully when the heating season comes there will be some more people out and about here.

Thanks for joining and I look forward to reading more!
