I'm sure I'm not alone on this idea. I keep my car shop, and the GMC shops at 70 all year. Turning them both to 45 degrees next week. As we're expected to have highs around 11 below 0, and lows at night approaching 30 below 0. With wind chills approaching -40, to -50. Have HONEY DO things that I can work on. Besides. The cold keeps the rift raft out of Iowa. Bob Dunahugh

Well,
O don't keep the shop in the barn at 70°F, more like 55°. But it is a barn, an insulated barn, but a barn none the less. Saturday last, I went out there just to pick up a tool and I knew it was going to get bad so I shut the system to hold 45°F until I came back. Good thing too because I slipped and mashed my bad knee and have not been out there since.
Even set at 45, I expect it will be firing hard for a few of the coming days. So, even if I can get out there (a pretty good bet for the weekend), if it isn't 45°F, I can't do much because I can't do much of what I need to do with gloves.
Stay warm out there folks.

Let me again point out, where I am, many inches of cold rain. It's all wet. The wind blows right through you. Do NOT come to the Georgia hills to keep warm. Keep on going to Florida, and mve there when you retire - there's no income tax.

Wyoming is loosing population as well with only 560,00 total population to
start with and no state income tax.
Lots of foreclosed homes in the Gillette, Wy area due to shutdown of coal
mine.

When we were working, we were only in the shop on the weekends. I ran the in-floor heat at around 10C which gave about 6-8C air temp as background heat. On the weekends if we (I) were going to work in the shop, I would turn the space heater thermostat to 18C or so... just nice for working and a tank of propane would last about 2 months.
Now we are not working, Paula has taken up furniture refinishing and taken over 1/2 the shop. So the floor is now set to 22C and the space heater is at 18-20C. Sometimes she will turn it back at night to 15C, but most days she has paint drying so she just leaves it set at 20C.
Propane tank now lasts 3-4 weeks, I'm guessing we will need a bigger tank.

Alls I know is, the foul mouthed Democratic majority in Congress better get
a handle on this global warming stuff, before we freeze our patooties off
(grin).
But you are right about city folks. Clueless buggers, they move to
the country, and then bitch about agricultural sprays and tractor noises at
normal farmer times, and lack of street lights and sidewalks, and, and,
and. Makes me gag.
With me, it is squealing tires and cop sirens in the middle of the
night, slamming of dumpster lids at all hours, car alarms.
All I want to hear are soft breezes in the trees, whooty owls, and the
soft sound of my wife sleeping beside me.

The pickle in my vanilla. As Dunahugh will tell you, Road Atlanta is a primo road course. I can hit it with a slingshot if I aim over the trees correctly and get about 4000 feet of range. Been there- at least I've been going there - since the early 70s. So some developer bought a couple of farms and housed them with high dollar (for this area) houses on typische postage-stamp lots. Which ABUT the track. The inhabitants, who seem to love their Home Owner's Association telling them how to run their homes, are now bitching about the noise. We tell them, think of it as the sound of money the County doesn't have to tax you for. Anyone who can't see a major racetrack which abuts a major highway their subdivisions exit on is too stupid to be walking around. Much less giving 400K and up for a house which in the area should got for about 250 - 300 on a three acre lot instead of the postage stamp they bought. I have zero sympathy for them.
Worse, this influx has made the County very reluctant to change any of the zoning laws, including the one which covers RV parks. They are treated the same as house trailers - 50x100 minimum lot size, minimum 25 feet frontage to a street, etc. County parks can hold a couple of hundred all up, there's market for twice that. I'd consider building one if I didn't have to purchase a couple of planners and two more Commissioners (my Commissioner favors the idea).
