Hi, I'm Tim Carter from AskTheBuilder.com. It is a frosty New Hampshire winter morning
0:10
We were driving here minus two degrees Fahrenheit. Boom! That's cold. Okay, so since it's cold
0:16
we're going to talk a little bit about heat. What do you think's inside this trailer here
0:21
Let me tell you what it is. Very unique. You don't see many of these. This is actually a ground heater
0:27
Inside this trailer is an oil furnace, an oil tank that's got a bunch of fuel in it
0:35
and it's got a heater where it's got all this piping and a big solution of glycol
0:43
Now here's why. Out of the back of this trailer come these pipes and these hoses
0:51
And look at this. See this hose right here? Well, this hose has been looped through all of this garage floor area
0:59
It's covered with these concrete insulated blankets. And when we fire up this heater, what's going to happen
1:06
It's going to have this hot water, or hot, it's really not water. It's just a glycol solution, a lot like what's in your car radiator
1:13
And it going to get hot and it going to take the frost out of this subgrade that inside this garage so that in a couple of days in the middle of winter as cold as it is we going to pour a concrete
1:26
slab so we keep moving up here in new hampshire a lot of other people they just they can't handle
1:31
it they can't handle the cold we're not weak so ground heaters fantastic machines you can buy them
1:37
but this particular one was custom made so wait till this thing starts running you're not going
1:42
to believe it. You're going to think it's summertime in here. I'm Tim Carter for AskTheBuilder.com
