Who wants to wear green? JD maybe.
When I said going green I was referring to the Daytona 500 about ready to race again after a rain delay---LOL!
The jeans I get are form the Rugged Wear line too, Chris. I just keep my phone in the right front pocket. In fun I would tell the guys at work that wore those pants with pockets all over them they were wearing "purse pants"!
Bail hook takes a lot of the work out of it once one learns how to use them. Always wore leather gloves too. I didn't really care for the sore finger blisters. Did not go good with hand milking cows. Dad always said those string was there to hold the bale together and not handles to throw them around with. Sold some bales on the ground one time. Guy would grab both strings in one hand, bale on each side and walk to the pickup with them. About every 3rd trip he would break a bale and just kick it off to the side and go on. I finally told him that once he touched a bale he bought it. Had his wife drive pickup to the bale and load one at a time after that. Ah, the good old days.
As close as I can get to a cold air return for a shop furnace would be somewhere behind it, Rog. You and Carolyn are a lot tougher than I am---LOL! My nose would run so bad at 62* that I would have to keep Kleenex in my hand constantly and be able to reach for new ones! 68 is as low as I can take at night and prefer around 72 during the day in the house. Out in the shop I do keep it cooler, but working on things is a bit different than sitting and watching TV or trying to sleep. If I am applying lettering or even producing stickers I definitely have to have things at least 70. That stuff don't mind the cold once installed, but it doesn't apply well any colder.
This thermostat is supposed to be able to be set as low as 40F, Stew. I like to keep the shop 45-50F all the time, until I want it warmer. It takes way to long to warm up all the big pieces iron out there, and the concrete slab stays like a reefer plate in a refrigerated truck. I want to try this programmable thermostat that has laying around the shop for several years. Then I will probably put a more modern one in the house if I get this one working right. I have good wifi in the shop now so hopefully this 9 year old but brand new thermostat works!
Yeah I could Daniel, but that corner has that equipment there and my sheetmetal brake. Don't really want anything hanging there. As it is the thermostat would be about 5-6' from the furnace. Hopefully that is close enough. The old thermostat is probably 20' away in a "hallway" behind the office. Here is a picture of that corner with the furnace in it as well.
From your pic and the direction of your heater louvers it looks like your going to get a false reading mounting the thermostat below it. It depends on if your heater is forcing air out pass that corner.
It blows out past that cabinet on the right by quite a ways, Jim. I was shooting the heat gun around in the work bay today, and have found out the first 4 feet up stays about 10* colder than up higher. Heat rise and cold concrete is pretty extreme it seems. About where the orange line is below the office sign looks like the place to be. The temp there agrees with most of the shop on consistent temperature.
That is good to know you folks aren't Eskimos or something, Rog---LOL! Electric banket wouldn't work for us. Loree hates them. She sleeps out of the covers most of the time.
Close the heat registers in that area of the house and she will learn to love an electric blanket.
Our is open about 1/4 " for heat. Open most of the way when the AC is on. Thermostat usually stays close to 80° then.
If I did that then I would be the one freezing. I only have the register on my side of the room open. The other two are closed. I can't leave the house at 80* in the summer either---LOL! I like the heat but that's too hot in the house for us.Close the heat registers in that area of the house and she will learn to love an electric blanket.
