Workshop in this weather..?

Finished, and a 100% job too

Special thanks to my wallpaper stripper steam unit

Bazyle, realise the dark months will give very little output but would only be a concern if I was intending to go totally off grid, would love to be able to do that but definitely not feasible in UK with our climate.

I need to investigate what current costs would be for solar PV

A chap I chatted to felt the best winter system in Jockland was those vacuum tubes which do the heating part of your requirements

Doesn't anybody build their own solar panels for heating anymore.

Well mine is a morning only shop at the moment, just checked @ 6.20pm and its still 84F in there, roll on winter...LOL

My air conditioning system...

As my workshop is in the garage that also stores the freezer and other domestic items it has it's own built in cooling system.

Unfortunately it is off at the moment as I can't find the bottle opener.

We inherited the pond, but it's gone now.

Neil, All fish are safe from any future entombment then!

It's sad when pets need to be rescued from some unspeakable fate I have two in my pond that have been blessed with an extra 4 years.

Nick I am surprised a model engineer has been stumped by a bottle opener

Beavered away this morning till about 1pm, opened the door and a gush of warm air hit me.

Its always at least 5 degrees colder in my man cave all year round.
Winter can have a large 2kw oil filled heater and a Calor gas on 1bar for 3hrs. Open the door and have a warm by 11am.
