Hi Lee, Kelly,
Lee's mention here would be hard to beat for
elegance and simplicity and directness.
About all I can think of to add, is that if it
were me, and if I was going to have to be
occasionally or intermittantly working in there, I
would insulate it really really well, install some
thermo-syphon Solar Heating Panels of an effecient
and way WAY overkill rating home-made kind, which
use a liquid medium which is calculated not to
freeze, and or possibly even install a small Gas
or Oil or Wood Stove heater which I would run
when needed ( with a head start when I know I will
be out there later to be working so I can work in
a tee-shirt and STILL feel 'warm' ) , while still
having Lee's set-up in place just-in-case.
That or just move the Pug Mill into the Living
room, fit a 'top' to it so it functions as a
dining room Table, and as an all around
do-stuff-on-it Table, and call it 'macaronii'...
Best wishies!
Lol,
Phil
