If those tarps have any latent oil, or don't breathe, they'll allow condensation to form, and rust the equipment. Moving blankets or the ilk will allow the air flow upwards and the moisture to pass through.

That makes sense. I'm going to have to try that and see if it works better. I hate how dirty they get, so it would be great if that would work.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas!

So is your shop like mine, where if you fell down no one would find you and that's where they'd find your mummified body?

Getting around in my shop I look like an Ostrich walking around.
Cleaning my shop is really just rearranging all the crap so it just looks different.

Is where he keeps them heated full time, part time, or not at all? I was really surprised when I saw all the rust considering how dry we are out here usually. I didn't have the rusting issue when I heated the garage full time.

It’s only heated when he is working in it. Has a wood/waste oil burning stove.

Hmmmm, I think I'm going to try the blankets instead of those blue tarps I tried before, because that's how I do it. I only heat it when I'm out there. Thanks for the info! I'd feel a ton better keeping some of the dirt, that turns to muck, off of them.

Thanks for that picture Steve until I realized me doing the same thing in more areas than a shop.
@moparnut88 hope my prayers have helped your sweet out.
Another find at the yard waste dump
Stump end of several pieces that are tempting me into bad weather tomorrow. Farwood for future.

Morning midlanders!

Check for sign of life from the 011 oil pump this morning. [emoji1696]

All it needs otherwise is the bar/chain serviced and a fuel tank vent hose. Willing runner he is.

Good morning fellas!

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Good morning. 36 and a chance of snow later.

I think the biggest thing is the blankets breathe and the tarps don’t so they trap moisture. He’s been buying them from harbor freight with coupons for like 1.99-2.99 per blanket.

Same here. It rained all afternoon yesterday and most of the night. It is a muddy mess here. Even my blow sand is like soup.
