You guys are lucky it takes 550000 BTU to keep my shop warm at -40

Do you have an extra "0" in that number???

If not, you should get some insulation.

Gotta love Montana winters! I bet it’s beautiful up there though!

But warmer down here, it's just 40°+, not -40

60, got to have 75° to be comfortable for me. [emoji6]

Steve

I’m right there with you!

Man y'all are picky here. I'm usually lucky to get above 40° in our shed mid January. Tasks get a heck of a lot shorter, that's for sure. Welding is a fun though. Keeps ya nice and toasty.

Welding is my next skill to learn

You home yet?

Start off stick welding, then go to mig welding.

Naa, won't leave until after 3 today. Have to stick around to get my attendance points for a General Engineering class. The class is pointless, but I kinda need to go. I probably won't get home until at least 7 tonight. Going to be a long day for sure.

Ahh, just start out with tig, than everything else is super easy for the most part.

I was going to start off underwater making tons of money. Then I figure I can get easier from there

For sure. Lots of money in that industry. Have a friend's relative who does that and outside of the constant travel, likes it a lot. Pipe-lining also seems to make pretty good income too, but it seems like many of the guys spend ALL their money on their rigs for some reason. Don't know yet, but I would like to get a welding cert. either some summer or after I graduate from my current school. Originally thought about welding engineering, but only two or three schools offer it currently. Wasn't worth the huge drive to Ohio or Texas for me. A 4hr drive is bad enough in the middle of winter.

Texas would’ve been a good option

Sure it would have...Yeah I like Texas, but then I would have had out of state tuition to pay as well. SDSU is good fit for me. Smaller school, lots of people with similar interests, and one of the cheapest schools to get an engineering degree in the midwest. Only gripe is that it's hard to do much without a vehicle here. Working on changing that this winter though.

Are you mostly in the plains or the mountains? Cause i bet the mountains are pretty this time of year.
