QUOTE(Elliot Cannon @ Nov 29 2013, 07:29 PM)  .......... They stole my tool box, an oxygen cylinder, my mountain mike and a 5 gallon jug of 100LL aviation gas.

Take a deep breath, another deep breath.....repeat 'til you hyperventilate. When you come to, get into the Zen of life and chalk it all off to the flow of life. Like, you really needed to clean out that tool box, right? Now you can go get it all again new, either paid by insurance or if you're self insured with the money you saved all these years. Now, the beer is unforgivable....maybe switch to Guiness Extra Stout.....they won't even recognize that as beer & leave it alone!

Next time, build a chain linked cage for everything, with an alarm and cameras that are motion activated.
I use all types of heat here. Kerosene salamder...loud but it heats up fast. Propane tank mounted heater, effective, but puts out c02 so it needs fresh air. Wood stove, the best. All are in a bay with fuel, but not airplane fuel...so that is the difference. Fuel fumes are on the ground, the bottom six inches. I leave the door open and the bottom which makes for a draft, but it keep a constant breeze at the floor level to dissipate the fumes and keep them from getting concentrated to much. Rich |

Elliott,
That would certainly awaken any neighbors for a few blocks... Might be prudent to aim that away from the plane...just saying |

Elyut, remember the restaurant style propane heaters we rented for WCR 2010 up at Tahoe? They should work...

The parabolic heaters that attach to propane bottles are fine. I bought a couple at Big-5. IIRC, they were about $30 each (not including the propane bottles). In California, they have to meet an emission standard for CO output, so the ones they sell here are considered 'safe' for indoor use.
Neat claymore ... comes with a key fob remote trigger too, eh? I'm surprised that the airfield doesn't have mag contacts on the doors going to a central office alarm board - like they have in standard storage facilities (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) An inexpensive simple system with a loud siren or bell would have scared the thieves off before they absconded with your stuff. Call me to discuss some simple options (IMG:style_emoticons/default/call me.gif) |

QUOTE I know that if they get knocked over that would be a safety issue but that issue can be managed by securing the tank in a box or milk crate. Are there any other safety concerns? Mine was set aside in the garage for a day or so. Someone bumped into it an knocked the heater module so the threads loosened. it leaked propane in the garage even though it was not "ON". It was pure luck that I was the first person to open the interior door to the garage and NOT immediately punch the garagedoor opener button. I went around the house and opened the side door instead. |

The specs state a fuel tank size of 40gal and a run time of 11hrs. A 40 gal tank is really big, unless they mean 40lb, which is still a pretty big tank. |

QUOTE(stugray @ Nov 29 2013, 02:42 PM) The propane powered forced air heaters are the best for fast worry free heat. The radiant heat POS's that you put on your propane tank are a serious safety risk. +1 for both of these comments. I had one of the radiant heat propane things...and almost burned down my garage. |

You will all love this one. After breaking into my hangar and making off with some of my stuff, the thief also took a bottle of Firestone 805 beer from my mini-fridge. He/they then broke into my neighbors hangar and left the empty bottle on his work bench. The cops knew that the bottle belonged to me and dusted it for fingerprints and got "good results". How poetic would it be if this moron gets busted because of finger prints on a bottle of beer he stole from me. To be continued....

About 2 years ago, some jackhole broke into my truck and stole some little stuff. Nothing I cared about. But he decided he was gonna hijack the ignition and busted the column up pretty good. About $1000 in damage total. After I got off the phone with the cops to make a report, I was told that about 10 cars in the neighborhood were hit that night. Well hell, tough morning, time to go figure out what he got away with. Wait, what's this? I don't own this cell phone! Slipped the little bugger in a zip lock bag without touching it and dropped it off with the sherrif. Turns out it was his. Game over in 24 hours. |
