Sounds promising. 24x36 is a nice 3-car size, into which you can

Don't forget that you now get to buy and used lawnmowers, tillers,
trimmers, snow blowers, all sorts of other power tools. And don't
forget that you now get to replace hot water heaters, roofs, paint the
trim, pay property taxes, and all the other blessings of home
ownership!

I wonder if they [battery heater] are still available.
They are. The Frankenheap's preheater system includes a battery
charger, more for warming up the battery than for putting any
charge on it.

My wife is a bit miffed that we've spent $180,000 on a house so I have
somewhere to plug in my car.
Funny indeed! I want another house with an oversized 3 car garage to fit
the 300SD with enough room to work on it as well as room enough for the
Dodge pickup and our recumbent tandem bike. A
Have you seen those pulley operated hanging devices for bicycles in garages?
Gets them up at ceiling level. MIght be good for a recumbent.

My parents have some to hang their bikes, and they aren't even at head level
since their garage has a 12' ceiling! Our garage ceiling is only 9' or so,
not high enough to hang this one without it being in the way. It's built
using two

Yes-so did my 300D 2.5-it was 10F and no hint of winter. I am assuming I will
never have to uncoil the block heater plug. Almost disappointing as starting
the 240D is more exciting and involves manly skills like tweaking the cold
idle, double glow, etc.
How cold was it in N. MA this AM?
I looked at a foreclosure yesterday. One acre, fairly new 36x24 garage
with insulation and furnace, two carpeted rooms in the corner of the
garage, one with a big bench. Also comes with a small 2 bedroom house
and a storage shed. Freddie Mac wants $40k for it. House is old, but
doesn't look bad
Speaking of garages, today (my birthday) brings me back to a fantasy I have
had for some time: to purchase a lift for my garage. It would have to be
110 volts and SAFE, preferably idiot proof so my sig. other would
(grudgingly) approve.

would still have enough to add onto the house or tear it down and rebuild to
meet your needs.
