    U'r becomin downright handy. I didn't get close enough to any hardware stores this week to get a carbon monoxide detector (though i'm parked outside a Nebraska Wal Mart as i speak, i despise Wal Mart), so i didn't run it any while i was sleeping, and that's about the only time i need it.

    I got selected for a random (headed home, i test better there), so I'll pick up one like that where you can see the level.

    Others mentioned the diesel heater. I may go that route at some point. Surely easier and more efficient.

    Well from where I am at, I am in a small construction trailer on-site at a new garage, what I have next to me is a Mr Heater - buddy heater running on high.

    When I arrived, it was 31 degrees in here - 40 outside. This is a small area, 12x8. I have one vent on the top that is cracked open, the co2 alarm is sitting a foot away from the heater and the propane alarm which was used when the furnace worked (not my trailer) is sitting near the furnace. The heater is hooked up to the 100lb tank which is outside.

    Do I feel threatened?

    Nope.

    If this was mine, I would have bought a diesel heater and had that installed.
