Tool Box Buzz Crew: A Message of Thanks
In this Thanksgiving Edition
of the newsletter it has me thinking about the things I'm thankful for. Besides the obvious friends and family, we're moving into a new home in a couple weeks that has a heated 3 car garage. I've been thinking about it for weeks, hence this week's theme.

Insulating Cathedral Ceiling in the Shop
Insulating your shop can help you stay productive in the cold winter months. In this article, attic trusses have polyisocyanurate sheeting added that serve both as insulation and maintain roof ventilation at the same time.
A small portable heater can be just the ticket to keeping a job site warm enough to work in as the weather gets cold. The HERO can be good in a shop too, they're smart enough to shutdown when the oxygen levels in the room start to diminish.
A heated jacket or hoodie can provide just enough heat to take the chill off and let you keep working. During the hammer testing pictured above it was below zero in the shop but the Milwaukee Heated Jacket warmed me just enough that I could work out there all day.
