Inexpensive Home Building: Starting Your Car in Freezing Winter Weather

Inexpensive Home Building

Cut through the jargon and nonsense of home building and house construction by starting from zero dollars and trying to figure best-value bang-for-your-buck when choosing construction methods or construction materials. My research might answer some of your questions and at other times perhaps you have the knowledge or experience to post the answers to my questions and thereby help others too. The goal is an affordable and sustainable home for all.

Starting Your Car in Freezing Winter Weather

Batteries do not work well at low temperatures. A Battery blanket is an electric blanket for your installed car battery. Plug it in overnight to insure your car starts on a freezing cold morning. The electric warming is for convenience or peace of mind and not to save energy. Insulation, even parking in an unheated garage, car port, or other sheltered area, helps a lot.
