not unlown for the workshop to be negative temps in the morning,  thats a b!tch when wireing.

thankfully built myself a heater  :smiley:   flat out hits 45C in less than 30 minutes   but its only 850 sq ft

In 1963 my dad was working at Airfix in Wandsworth, it was so cold they put their feet in boxes of straw and rags under their benches, the mice used to get in the boxes with them to keep warm!

I am used to my office being cold, I prefer it. I hate it in the summer when its 45'c as is usually the case when you work in an industrial building.
Added bonus is my office is to cold for most of the people who annoy me :grin:

On a different note then: how many people take a change of shirt to work for sweltering summer offices? 45c in a shirt would leave me with some serious damp patches

Manual working need not answer as I think the outcomes would be obvious!

You want to work over here, 45c in the shade isnt too bad but working on top of a silver silo wearing overalls, chemical suit and a full face respirator is f**king murder. I've lost 8kg since I got here...
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
