It's BELOW FREEZING In My Warehouse *Making My Own EMERGENCY HEAT*

The arctic snap has taken over the midwest and our nice 40* winter has now turned into day after day of negative temperatures and dangerous wind chills. Even after getting the natural gas main line extended to the building I still don't have heat because they wouldn't set a meter. Now we have that issue sorted but the heaters are still configured for propane. Today we're going to make the conversion kit and buy the parts for the gas valve. The days of filling up 10 gallons of diesel tanks to heat this place are coming to an end!

@John Doe This. Where I live, good paying jobs are related to computers. Developers or DevOps engineers are in high demand. Anyone I know my age don't know how to wire a plug, I'm lucky that my dad taught me how to work on cars, encouraged me to mess around with electronics ( within reason ) and had me help out with plumbing and all other type of DIY related things. The only thing I would pay for is high risk things such as running a gas line.

[@Lon1001]

Dude, that large diesel torpedo heater shouldn't be making dangerous levels of CO2 or other noxious fumes if it's working properly... but it will suck the O2 out of the room surprisingly quickly if you don't have ample fresh air supply. low O2 will make you feel tired, euphoric, restless and confused and is not good for your health - make sure you got outside air coming in somewhere near the heater, crack that door behind it a bit and move it closer.

[@blackcountryme]

Soot and other particulates from diesel are bad for you. Like really bad.

[@craigwilson8420]

CO not CO2...monoxide not dioxide

[@JerryDLTN]

Can a fresh duct be connected to it to pull O2 from outside?

[@A_guy840]

If there’s low O2 levels it will have poor combustion an produce CO as well.

Yup tiredness is a symptom of CO poisoning.

I find it completely amazing where I was looking at a whole bunch of KZbin channels featuring automotive stuff...but, then seeing so many ancillary things, like this video, where you have done a retrofitting of the building's heating system and commercial spaces.

[@lawblakethom]

First of all, praise the Lord that your father is up and well. So glad to see that. Second of all, I just changed the orifices from NG to LPG on a stove I bought so I can hook up a cylinder to it and use it off-grid. I have been working on a school bus conversion and I don't have a heater in it yet, so I know what it means to loose feeling in your feet from walking on ice cold floors while you are working. Keep the great content coming. I subscribed about a year ago for your automotive videos, but I don't mind the building updates at all. Your content has always been about making things function, whether it's engines, EVs, body work, trailers, tools, or workshops. I'm glad you are keeping everything on the same channel. Also, I think you should call your shop the Derby Drome.

OSHA Inspectors stay Freaked Out. That is their job.

[@richardpoole2729]

My job too in another jurisdiction and that admission of a complete dismissal of duties in a commercial workplace would get him fired by an employer! I cannot watch any longer this build or I'd have to share this with authorities. Thankfully I have not witnessed more than unsafe ladder climbing that all KZbinrs working on buildings show off to all watching! Most are on their own residential property but not JR, he's fully commercial!

[@dafirnz]

He probably wouldn't fall under OSHA. My understanding is it doesn't kick in until you have 10 employees. A bigger risk is his insurance provider, or providers, flagging him as high risk and jacking up his premiums.

Down there, you are not much used to the cold. Last night, in Ottawa it was -29° C here with the wind chill, that's -20° F. Now, admittedly, that is one of the coldest nights of the year, up here in Canada's capital. It's nowhere near as bad as our northern cities, where it is regularly -40° in both C and F! Glad to see your dad up and healthy! I nearly died last year about this time from COVID-19 myself. I still have what is known as "Long Haul Syndrome", which causes a wide variety of ongoing problems, some of which are life-threatening. I hope he doesn't have that problem!!!

[@laman491]

That ginormous torpedo heater might need a tune up. They make replacement nozzles for the correct fuel you are using and spray pattern. There is also a Beckett burner tool to make sure electrodes arethe correct spacing and height from the nozzle. Also you can put a vacuum gauge into the plugged hole that houses the filter to check if its pulling the correct vacuum and or fuel pressure. There is a set screw to adjust pressure. There is also replacement vanes inside of that housing that might be worn out.

[@stewartmkilkenny8518]

Back in college, I bought my own harness for going up in lifts just so I wouldn't have to adjust the other ones every time. As a kid, I was in the bucket of a front end loader of a Case SC trimming trees a time or too. Never the heights, just the fall that you're careful to never let happen.

For a building that large might I suggest ceiling fans to either blow or suck the air from the ceiling and push it down to the floor to create convection?
