Re: Winter Salt / Northern thread
 

One more thing.

You only need to use your block heater for an hour or two in the
morning. If you leave it plugged in all night with salt on the hood, it
will rust out everything in front of the firewall.

What about unheated attached garages in the basement?

Re: Winter Salt / Northern thread
 

Has to depend on the temperature, more than anything. How much heat escapes
from the house, how far down is the basement, and how deep do they bury
pipes in your neck of the woods? They bury them nine feet deep in
Silverton, but my unheated basement stays about fifty-five year 'round. I
would put a dog dish full of water in the garage, and see if it freezes
solid and stays that way. If it doesn't, these folks are saying don't keep
a car in there.
