Well we finally got to Sub zero ( C ) temperatures here, the shed heat sources did well but really we need to have smaller openings to shoot out of on these really cold days.
Also insulation would not hurt, so come spring / summer i think i will have to put some of that on the roof at least.

Mind you Tuesday evening combined with 2 heat sources going and -2 deg C outside, inside we had a nice temperature of 20 - 24 deg C, but we can not maintain that with 2 lanes going even if just 50% opened, so something to easy narrow that opening will have to be worked out, so far i have just propped up stuff ( see video )

Never the less, this new shed is leagues better than the old setup, so i am still pegging this as a big WIN.

A little video from today, dialing rifle back to speeds handling the 10.4gr JTS pellets.


Last night 2 critters fell victim to me, first one of the small ones, and then a little later sitting talking after dinner i saw big fat one on CCTV, so i excused myself and went into sniper mode in the shed.
And 5 minutes later i got my #2 kill of the night.

Hehe that would be nice, but you have to remember, any means of heating or propelling something, in Denmark are record expensive.

1 Kw/h of power :eek:
1 Liter of gasoline :eek: ( 7.7 USD / gal )
Okay it is not like 1 cubic M of firewood are cheap either, but at least my M8 have tres we can fell if need be, and we also have a source for free firewood, though of course not in endless supply.

Yeah i have been thinking of drapes or something like that, it would also be a easy up in winter kit and easy down in spring.
Still it will probably have to be something heavy VS just cloth / fabric of some sort.

On the back leg of the bench i have a hook where i can put the miner lamp, it is a nice finger heater.
The output pipe from the diesel heater will be lifted from the floor where it lie now, but the 2 output channels from it will still be pointed on the shooter.
IMO i dont feel the diesel heater do a whole lot, but it is a excellent feet warmer, it is just 3000 watt which okay, but we have not run it at full tilt yet, we need to sound insulate it CUZ it is a bit noisy.

I have found a better place for the fan on the wood burning stove, that is i think it will work, that or the fan will melt.
