There's no truck out there to deliver a propane tank on? Amazing. I knew Manitoba sucked, but wow.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-03-2005 04:56 PM                  That pic of Gordon reminds me of why whenever I see or talk with him, I ***NEVER*** ask "What's Cookin'?"  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-03-2005 06:15 PM                        You can get propane out there, I'm sure, but wouldn't it be outrageously expensive to install a big tank on the property for it?  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

That's why they make the big tanks. Electric is probably cheaper though, especially if you can get one of those peak demand meters since most of your operating hours will be off peek demand times. Then again, it's a matter of cost or taste.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-03-2005 11:25 PM                     phil said "That pic of Gordon reminds me of why whenever I see or talk with him, I ***NEVER*** ask "What's Cookin'?"" sometimes it should read "who not what"  |  IP: Logged Barry Floyd Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1079 From: Lebanon, Tennessee, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-04-2005 09:14 AM                        quote: Andrew McCrea How much was the finished cost of your 2-screen drive-in? My SINGLE screen drive-in, including the cost of the land here in middle Tennessee cost $580k to build in 2003. In September of this year we added the second screen and booth for a cost of $31k. I've been meaning to burn a CD of photos to send to Brad, I've just never done it.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-04-2005 05:14 PM                     propane also has a higher caloritic value for heating than natural gas so less is consumed so in many cases it is not much more expensive than the lower cost natural gas  |  IP: Logged
