How are you liking your new patio?

It’s been nice when we’ve used it. I’ve had to spec out a new heater and get the electricians back out to upgrade to a 240V circuit. Once we get that, we can use it more. Not much when it’s in the 40s out and rainy.

What style heaters are you going with?

Gonna do a couple 3000 watt infrared heaters on the sides of the cover or a single 6000 watt unit down the middle. Leaning towards dual 3000W units to cover the sides and we can do a gas fire table to hit the middle should we want it. Smaller units also work for heat control without getting fancy on controls. Duplex switch for left and right heaters, some comfy heat or more when it gets chilly.

We’re still trying to recover from the project and finish off planters. The heaters will come, just now super fast.
 
How many sqft is the patio? Those 3000 watt heaters should do a good job depending on other outside factors. The central gas fire table would be a nice addition as well

220 for the covered portion. Exposed on all sides with typical conditions of 50s-60s evening temps (even during summer) oh, and a perpetually chilly significant other.

6000W gonna be the limit for 30A/240V circuit and simple controls.
 
working on a 2021 wrangler 2.0l turbo with no compression and oil leaking from the head this morning. water pump inlet tube came loose and spilled the coolant. customer said the engine died while driving. oil is sparkly.

the worst part is getting approval. have to call tech line to have them tell me what to do first. dropped the lower oil pan. found a chunk and lots of metal shavings. still want me to remove the head though.
 
We have similar fun when it comes to new cars and AllData. We have a '22 Santa Cruz in here getting a rear rail installed and there is no measurements or anything available yet, however, insurance wants AllData specs with the repair estimates..

How that gonna work?

Decided to remove the engine, probably gonna need one anyways and it will make removing the head a ton easier out of the Jeep.

We just have to have someone from AllData state that there is nothing in there for measurements. We basically just have to mirror what is on the opposite side and try to put it on straight :rotfl: it's always something new in the collision world. We've had sectioning procedures have steps missing, or have us cut near a curtain air bag without wanting to remove the air bag underneath the cut beforehand

Reading this makes me realise how bad the body shop I worked for as an apprentise was. We never used a rack or measurements. Just used the anchors in the ground with a chain and hydraulic thingy, and the body guy made me do all the work in my second year. I welded a roof skin on an outlander that a tree fell on by myself. Oh god, so many car fixed improperly. I feel so bad right now.
