Don - what do you mean that you don't belong??? Good grief, we don't hear from you for months and.......... OK with that said, the only place that you might have a problem is the HAMB - and while I am a member, do not necessarily agree with their way of doing business. Here - absolutely.

Sounds like you and Eastern VA weather don't agree. I guess you wouldn't like it here in the normally frozen tundra of the Northeast since we still have a couple feet of snow, including in my front yard and today at 18*F an hour or so ago.

Get some warm days and get back into that garage - and heat, a catalytic heater might be your salvation. Not really cheap to buy, but most are run inside without any outside exhaust venting - http://www.amazon.com/Camco-57351-Ol.../dp/B000EDQR8M

There is also a 24 page gov't paper, tho a bit old, you can read by Googling 'catalytic heater' that spells out any CO dangers; www.cpsc.gov/library/foia/foia05/os/co03.pdf
