The high in Columbus Ohio vs Antartica

Well then.... You better clean the place up David !! :poke::poke:

Haha Mitch I do think about that, even though I keep it clean, it definitely looks "lived-in" most of the time since I live by myself...mail on the dining room table etc., and the landlord just got remarried and in my imagination his new wife is putting ideas in his head to fix the place up and sell it or rent it out as a more expensive vacation rental.
 

Or not...making it unrentable without major investment in reconditioning can sometimes work in your favor as a tenant! LOL!

That is a relevant point in this case Dave, the unit needs considerable updates to reach the standards people expect nowadays. Many of my neighbors have hardwood floors and opened up kitchens, renovated bathrooms, etc. But I know one day I will have to move. Buying is out of the question due to the very high monthly fees that came into effect AFTER my landlord bought (the reason my rent can still be affordable.)

I saw something close to this once. 9 vehicle in the ditch parked diagonally side by side. Was a curved stretch with a good slope to it.

Looks like what used to happen in Memphis when it would drop below freezing and all the summer tires would become like hockey pucks. They didn't even have salt trucks when I was there and an inch of snow would paralyze the city.
 
A Better comparison is Nome Alaska where it was 10*F today with a wind chill of zero.
Hey Dave, wood stove in the 40x80 shed, think it'd work? Have an old antique iron stove that was used to heat the farm house from the 1900s till the early 90s. Was thinking of using your tarp suggestion and a lot of bailing twine to basically lower the ceiling and create a tent inside the shed

It should work, how big is the stove? The main thing is the calculation of the output BTU and making sure to add a fresh air feed for the combustion (can be just a 4" pipe bringing in outside air near the combustion box). How much wood can be loaded into the stove also.

No clue as to the BTU, it's just a little bit smaller than your average electric convection over/stove combo.

My idea would be to essentially run a tarp vertically about 24 feet from one end of the shed, across the entire 40 ft width, then drop the ceiling height using another tarp from 16 feet to 12(top of the lift) essentially making a 880 square foot room to heat vs 3200 square feet.
Harbor fright has tarps , roughly 100 bucks worth of their heavy silver tarps would do it
