| Since we live in the northeast I had to do some
unique things to the shop. First, I have both incandescent and florescent
lights in the shop. To save about $30 per light, the florescent lights
aren't the cold starting type. The incandescent lights are used in cold
weather until the shop gets warm. Second, heating oil is cheaper then kerosene,
so I use heating oil and store it inside the shop which stays 30 degrees
warmer then outside. The heating oil hasn't gelled through two winters
and changing between 16 gal. kegs is like changing propane tanks on the
gas grill. |

on the deck. The neighbors love this during the summer. |

is adequate for the shop. In the foreground, the pull down stairs allow
access to the storage space in the attic. |
To use heating oil instead of kerosene
in the winter, I store the oil in 16 gallon kegs inside the shop. I used
hydraulic hose and quick disconnects for plumbing and alternate between
two kegs. |

| I was outstanding in the field
when I took this picture of the house with new siding and the garage addition. |
It's hard to see, but if you look
past the cows in the foreground you can see the house. |
