so you work on a farm then, or farm related if your borrowing a barn, i used to live on one, bloody cold when i was messing with my motors in winter.

its not really a barn in the farm sense, more of a great big shed.
but yes it is cold at the moment :cry:
still weve got a couple of space heaters so it shouldnt be too bad.
no doubt ill end up doing it in the yard with some sort of tarp-assisted shelter :shock:

lol, you guys are complaining about the cold - and i have the opposite problem, my minis on its side with the hot water boiler a few feet away, it can get quite sweaty down there!

i've worked on a farm, worked outside, worked for the national grid, i'm used to being frozed, i'm not complaining bout the cold, although my current place of work manages to find me loads of breakdowns outside in winter, and inside in summer.
