That's something I hadn't thought of. I'll have to check into it.

My shop isnt that big, 18x28 so its not too difficult. I have one of those in the wall heaters that a lot of houses use when they heat the rooms separately. Its much bigger than those though and its 220v. Its not built in though, it has its own little frame work so I can move it a bit if I want.

We had some pretty cold weather recently (for here), and my nephews were over helping work on the Unibody (like every Sunday) to stay warm I gave them direction on what I needed done and then I went in the house

I had a Mr Heater 9" x 2.5' tall propane 'convection' heaters from Jeggs. It would heat things around 4-5' away, and EAT a 5# bottle of propane in a weekend. Was better than nothing.
My buddy just gave me a forced air portable propane heater (one of those balogna tube things) WOW,, nice!!! but now I have no excuse for my procrastination and not getting things done.
