I'm ecstatic with the mileage. If I took the trailer I'd have to charge more than a cord is selling for around here, not worth it. But, if I take a load on the PU every time I go up, I could stock up enough to have 10 cord for next year, plus what I get local.
The pulls on the old kitchen cabinet? I actually looked while I was up there to see who made it, but didn't write it down. I'll get it next time. Years ago I had a big Hoosier Cabinet and all of the hinges and latches had a big "H" on them. I think a search of kitchen cabinet pulls will find some similar?
My Vet friend had an animal clinic. She bought the Heat pump in 2018, used it half a year and retired and sold the clinic in 2019. It's a GE. My building is 12X40 and it keeps it toasty. We had it on 68 when we went to bed and it was too warm. Set it down to 65 and was very comfortable. Went down to 40 at night and the emergency heat didn't kick on. All walls and ceiling are R13.
I'm just happy excursion gets better mileage than the semi lol. Bummer is it won't haul as much.
They are definitely unique, never seen any like them.
Hope mine will be pretty easy to heat, the little shop area should be, I think a heat pump would work well.
I've already put 1.5" of isopoly on the exterior between the gurts. I plan on adding another layer(not sure how thick yet) to the inside of the walls (3.5") on my little shop area. Then I'll build a wall and insulate that with r-13 or 15. For the ceiling I plan on 15" of cellulose. I built vents/chutes with 1" polyiso spaced 1.375" below the roof sheeting. That will add a little better r-factor at the eve than the standard chutes and a couple inches of cellulose, and a good bit better airflow above it than the normal chutes.
Here's what the chutes look like.
Just finished building the wall between the main bay and my little shop area.
Need to do the vents and then I'll be ready to stuff some insulation in the wall and up to the vents(already did insulation between the truss carriers and up to the vents in the pic above).
Got the Japanese scaffolding frame in place and ready to go lol.
