    Is your garage detached? If so, this might be a good option: https://www.homedepot.com/p/US-Stove...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

    Just add a 55 gal drum and stove pipe.

    Another option is to check the local propane service and see what's the smallest tank that they'll come out and fill. Check CL and find a good used 100 gal (or whatever) tank, some copper tubing, and a wall mount Catalytic heater and you're in business!

    Check local codes and homeowners insurance requirements first. Many more options for detached vs. attached garage.

    They are less expensive because they are a single piston design, my choice was a dual piston calipar.

    Out side, wiring insulation could be cracking up means a new wire job is in order. Seems many get a dune buggy wiring get for their trike's. It seems to work out well.

    Dash panel is missing up front, so for me I used a piece of aluminum for my dash face piece.

    Easy to work with, a pain to paint, but it worked for me. Why do it, bug motors do need some instruments so the rider can keep an eye on the engine and how all is working, okay I felt better putting them in so I could keep an eye on it all. Again not a bad choice.

    You will have fun I am sure. Yes propane is a pain on the bottle exchange, they take everyone with it, but it does deliver more heat than electric does. I know as I did/do the electric heat at times, costly compared to the propane buddy heater I have.

    Be safe and enjoy the new ride.
    The pig trike does have a 350 Honda front end on it. I hadn't seen one in 44 years. I am going to get a Honda Complete Brake Master Cylinder for $44.95, a Front Brake single Caliper (stock) Assembly for $99.95, and a 7" side mount Honda headlight for $39.95 (it should fit the first two holes in the body, with a little help from longer mounting bolts, washers, and pieces of pipe).

    There is no wiring on the trike at all. I like it like that as I'm very good at wiring stuff up. I do not follow a plan, I just wire one system up at a time. I have a Tupperware bin plum full of wire.

    On the missing dash, I have a flat sheet of 1/8" aluminum that I'll cut to bolt behind the dash hole with small nuts, bolts and, washers. Buy some plastic caps at the truck stop to silicone over the bolts. You're right about aluminum being a pain to paint, but I learned a loooooong time ago in the army; if it moves, salute it, if it shines, paint it. The trike paint scheme is to be John Deere Green, Fire Engine Red, and Olive Drab Green, preferably done in pickup bed liner so there is no polishing.

    Yes as soon as I get the check, Ill sign up for the propane.

    Be safe.

    Robert.

    Thanks for the reply, be safe.

    Tom; The garage is attached to the house, otherwise the barrel stove kit would be a good idea.

    I like the local propane service idea better. There is a propane service company in Westbrook, but the will not refill tanks on a will call basis. The only way to get service is to do as you suggested. I just sent Ferrell gas an email. We'll see what happens.

    Thanks, Tom, be safe.

    Default Pig trike

    Here are more pictures of the pig trike, so named because I rescued the trike from a pig farm, kinda. Well, the trike was setting in a side yard, and the man did have pigs on his property, about a quarter mile or so away. My daughter was setting in the pickup when the smell hit her in the nose. "What's that god awful smell", she cried, literally. The man said "money". "Money", she's crying and slinging snot like a pro. The man took a deep breath and said "Yep, it smells like money to me".

    I'll add more after I chop the ice from the garage door so I can get inside.

    Please do watch that Sunflower burner, the heat is nice within a few feet and with time the room warms up, but remember you still need some fresh air so you stay alive.

    They would be great if they had a fan on them blowing the heat around, guess that is why I spent the money on the Mr. Buddy heater.

    The real reason is I always back into them Sunflowers, or stand to close and catch my self on fire, yes it happened a few times. My nerves on the surface come and go, so some times I just do not feel any thing on my skin.

    Just be careful and keep safe, oh and enjoy the new project.

    lol about the smells like money statement...so true!

    If possible, after some teardown, some parts could be worked on in the house, if careful.

    Once knew a guy that overhauled a transmission in an upstairs bathtub.... landlord very PO'd!

    Good morning Andy;

    As many broken windows as there are in the garage, breathing is not going to be my problem, moving around in my frozen Eskimo clothing is going to be trying. I've been checking on line, and I like the wall mount Catalytic heater idea Tom suggested. Point it at my daughters Ranchero in the other half of the garage for radiant heat. They should just sip propane from what I could gather from their advertisements.

    It's too bad about your nerves, but I bet that comes in handy when your other half goes on the war path.

    Be safe.

    Robert.

    Robert, since the garage is attached, I'd have a conversation with Ferrell Gas about the local codes and types of heaters that can be used in attached garages. Any heater with an "open flame" may have to be mounted X number of feet above the floor as gasoline and other combustible fumes usually dissipate at floor level. Also, make sure that you have a working carbon monoxide detector in the home for everyone's safety! (Not to mention insurance liability for the property.)

    Another option is, if the house has natural gas already, look into the possibility of piping an overhead shop heater in the garage. Can't hurt the property value in the Great White North to have a heated garage space.

    Sometimes the "quick and easy" solution ends up costing more in the long run. "Pay me now or pay me later."

    Too true on the working in the house. I would have the trike in my bedroom, putting it together, then after It is done, tare it apart, take it outside in the new summer environment and put it together, except, I live in my daughter's basement, and she's not as forgiving about me working on stuff in the house as her mother was. (I took that Honda from 40 years ago into the corner of the front room, disassembled it, took the body to a friend's house, and he chopped my CB 350 Honda frame for me. It had 6" over chrome downs, The neck was slightly kicked back, a king, queen seat, a spade looking sissy bar, it was stretched 2" behind the battery box, a shorter kick stand so it would lay over farther when parked, it had a Harley fat bob on it, and a Harley rear wheel laced up to the Honda sprocket. If you didn't look too close you'd think it was a custom miniaturized Harley. I had it for about 6 months, then traded it off to my brother in law for the 69 Charger.

    She lets me do small stuff like starters, carbs, and stuff like that.

    Be safe.

    Robert.

    Tom;

    I will hear back from Ferrell Gas on Monday, or Tuesday. Their yard here is only for refueling their delivery trucks, so it is unmanned. I'll try to have them answer all of the pertinent questions about safety, and such.

    There is smoke alarms, and CO2 alarms in the house. There will be alarms in the garage. There is also renter's insurance, as my daughter rents this house. I had a manufactured home in a senior mobile home park in Lodi. I had live there since 1995. My daughter talked me into coming to live in her basement. I love my daughter, but I'd have been better off staying in Lodi.

    Be safe.

    Robert.

    Bradley, You sound like me. My wife used to say, on more than one occasion, that I'm so tight that I squeak when I walk. It was a good thing I was tight. I spent over $350,000 on an Alzheimer's care facility in the last 5 years of her life, not including her Social Security check the home automatically took.

    I had my own company, and authority for the last 7 years of my career. I drove over the road trucks for 37.5 years. Now I am just living for the next rush, without the benefits of the drugs. Trikes do it for me. I miss the road. In my trucking career time, I've became an introvert, and like it.

    Sorry, I ramble.

    Be safe

    Robert.

    Rambling is ok. I am a retired public school employee, 32 years. Now have a part time tow business. The trikes are my toys.

    Don't see Sharlee? She is between two of her friends, keeping warm. After we got back into the house, I had the bright idea of going into the garage to take the other pictures of the pig trike. We were in there less than five minutes when Sharlee tried jumping into my arms. I picked her up, and her little feet were frozen from the outside and the concrete floor. Sharlee has spent her whole life indoors, she is a chihuahua and Dachshund mix commonly called a Chiweenie Dog, but there is nothing comm about her. She has even started answering to Bar-B-Que.

    Bradley; my X father in law worked for the Stockton school district as a tire man for almost 40 years. He was a good old boy, as he shared the tire companies that gave discounts on 11-24.5 tires. The school used them on buses, and I used them on my trucks. When I bought my first truck, my father in law would give me some of the take off from the buses, and I would give him my old may pops after I switched them out.

    Be safe

    I apologize for the size of the Sharlee pictures. I did not know they were that big till I looked at them a while ago.

    Wow, frozen tundra is that what you call it, LOL

    We call it a "cold in Hell" because shit does not move around here when there is that much snow on the ground.

    Lovely pictures, so sorry about the little one frozen paw's, we have one we have to watch also. Best little lap buddy there is. Enjoy life as we can, that is all we can do.

    Just thinking back, because of my frequent scrounging at land fills, dumpsters, and backroads, my mom used to call me Sanford. From the show Sanford and Son. I still pick up usable to me stuff but not so much after land fill closed and now have a transfer station to take our junk. Sorry for the hijack.
    Just me, myself, and I riding my V8 on the Rez.

    Andy; Sharlee is a surrogate for my kids being all grown up. She sleeps on the bed with me, where I go, she goes, most of the time, she always gets the first bite of my food, and I always crumble , or cut, her food up for her

    I usually buy my furry child's food once a month. My daughter and I went to Worthington, about 45 miles away, (a large town, considering the size of town I live in) to do some shopping. She was surprised when I spent over $80.00 on Sharlee's food. She ask why I didn't just get her a 50 pound bag of cheap, dry dog food. I told her because it's DOG food, and Sharlee is a furry person. I never got you kids a 50 pound bag of (whatever) when you were young, so why start now. Sharlee was so offended by her question she wouldn't look at my daughter the rest of the day. My youngest grand son (18) has a small sadistic side to him. When I first came here he hurt Sharlee on purpose, then told me it was an accident. I kicked him twice in the shins, and told him if he hurts me or mine, I hurt him worse. He went crying to his mother and I had to explain to her how my kicking him twice after he "accidentally" hurt Sharlee was as much of an accident on my part, as his accidentally hurting Sharlee was. Virginia told him to stay away from the dog and away from me. You have to train them early. We haven't had any more accidents here in 7 months.

    Be safe,

    Robert
