Paul TigerB6 - 18/11/07 at 10:14 AM

you big lightweight.

Get yourself a heater and get back in there!!!


Dangle_kt - 18/11/07 at 10:15 AM

HAHA!

I was int he garage last night for the first time in weeks (finally got the electrician back to reconnect the pwoer in there...)

Was sooooo cold, but after half an hour i popped back in the house and was roasting!

Worth getting stuck in. Just not the time of year for rubbing your chin deciding what to do next!

Get back in there you wuss!


tegwin - 18/11/07 at 10:52 AM

Count yourself lucky...

My garage is not only cold, but because its raining outside, its also raining in the garage....


How on earth water can find its way though over a foot of reinforced concrete is beyond me...

You're all soft southern wussies

I'd kill for a garage, try working outside kneeling in dirt and freezing yer knackers off

Get some thermals and get stuck in!

Despite having 40m2 of garage space, I still work out in the pouring rain as the garage is full of crap.....


stuart_g - 18/11/07 at 12:58 PM

I need heating it is sooooooooooo cold


BenB - 18/11/07 at 01:02 PM

Get a Dickies thermal worksuit and quit with your cold-ass jibba jabba

The problem with the thermal suit is you get too hot!!


Paul TigerB6 - 18/11/07 at 01:08 PM

Well I have just finished replacing a driveshaft on the tintop (2nd time in just over 2 years - thats French rubish for ya!!) and never felt cold at all. Guess you should work harder Jon

My main problem in the garage is cold feet - legs, body, arms, no problem, just my feet.

One of these days I'll make the wooden slatted standing area I keep promising myself.

Or get some moon-boots!

I have found a proper pair of thermal ski socks or hiking socks over a normal pair of socks works wonders.


big_wasa - 18/11/07 at 01:43 PM

Im on the drive doing an escort Head gasket for my old dear

Still its not raining yet

I'd be fine if I could get my feet off the cold concrete - hence the bit about wooden slatted flooring. The membrane on my floor is suspect, so I can't put rubber mat down. Same goes for floor tiles, which Paul G (907) likes. Wooden slats get me off the concrete, allows the floor to breathe, and can be picked up for sweeping when required.

One of these days....

Same problem - anything that covers the floor gets damp underneath after a week or two.

The wooden slats are cheap enough, it's just a round-tuit job...


JoelP - 18/11/07 at 02:44 PM

i got as far as the drive, bailed out the locost, went back in.


Rob Lane - 18/11/07 at 03:22 PM

Just checked out our 8000sq ft unit and it's bloody cold in there.

The original tenant has removed the hot air heater unit

Hopefully soon we will be set up 1 minute off M1 J40 Osset with 4wd rolling road and other facilities for tuning. All Locosts will be welcome, may even do a Locost day.


Peteff - 18/11/07 at 03:23 PM

I can see the shed from here and it looks bleak through the rain so I'll leave it alone. I've got to go in and put the trickle charger on the battery but it looks like waiting.


bob - 18/11/07 at 03:37 PM

Weathers lovely down here

Myself and conrod have just put 5hrs sump chopping work behind us


theconrodkid - 18/11/07 at 03:58 PM

are we the only stupid/hero types in the south bob?


I love speed :-P - 18/11/07 at 04:07 PM

its snowing here so stop moaning you lot


RK - 18/11/07 at 04:39 PM

I hear you. You have to keep moving - you can't lolligag around. Those heaters really suck the electricity though (I've blown a few circuit breakers using mine), so either move fast, dress warmly or PAY for it.


bob - 18/11/07 at 04:48 PM

Its a tad cold on the concrete but nice on the carpet, i'll get my mexican carpet fitter in next week and get the whole garage floor covered.

No, I've just spent all day outside replacing a 500m section of fibre-optic cable, 100m of which is through the bottom of a lake. It's hefty enough to be a pig to work with at the best of times, but when it's cold it really doesn't like bending much

Still, at least i've now got two weeks off work to recover (and freeze my tits off in the garage)
