Correct and me being a wimp when it comes to hauling more then my norm.

It wasn't really that bad, but I do need to get some better tires next time with a better load rating. These tires on it now our more of a old man's tire. Good for hauling to bags of lawn grass and one cute poodle with a very plush soft ride. lol
EDIT:

The main reason for killing the project is because after seeing the math to heat the garage and what the available amount of energy in the water tank it just doesn't look like it would be worth it?
