Space heaters are good for raising the temperature of the area but cause massive ammounts of condensation.
Use with care or better still a small electric heater placed at your feet as you work would be a good way to go |

Hi
The closest I get is a wolly jumper! Come winter I have to do jobs high up, as I can't bend down!
Cheers

LOL! I bet you`re right, insurance companies would have a FIT!
But when I think of "insurance" companies in the 1930s....I picture guys with Tommy guns wearing 3-piece suits, LOL!
As for "heated" garages, I have an opposite problem here in sunny Florida...
keeping it COOL! |

I used to pay £3. 10s (act only) to insure my first car in 1957; mind you, my apprentices wage was little more than that. I think it was another 10/- to insure against fire and theft. Most, cars lived outside in the street; where there was little chance of damaging property in a fire.
Some of us used Methylated Spirit as antifreeze, which seems a little odd these days. |

I remember many years ago driving through a housing scheme in Glasgow with my daughter in the car. She remarked "Dad, why are the cars all parked out on the streets, and why don't they have garages?" |
