Toasty warm in the workshop
 

Hi all,

I think it's probably well known that my workshop is like a big fridge in the winter. I try to wrap up warm, but sometimes its pretty hard to stay motivated when I can't feel my fingers any more!

Imagine my surprise then, when I arrived at Mike's on Saturday to find that a bunch of you lovely people had clubbed together to buy me a space heater!

I put it together on Sunday and gave it a quick test, but today was the first opportunity I got to try it properly and it is very effective.

This is at the front of the workshop so it's about a foot above the main floor which seems to work quite well for warming the air at body height. It took the area around the lift from 7 degrees to a balmy 10 in less than an hour which is quite impressive. There's a noticeable difference between the main part of the workshop and the office side. I need to plug a few holes in the walls and roof to stop the warms escaping now :D

So, a heart-felt thank you to all those who contributed :) It really means a lot to me.

Wonderful, 30KW is quite a bit of heat. +++ (Roughly twice what my gas boiler delivers to warm an admittedly well-insulated big detached house)

Or you could just fire up an S8 or two? :rolleyes:

Lovely - well done Neil and Mike. Great idea! +++

Well, we couldn’t have the world’s best D2 engineer getting frostbite, could we. Well done Mike & Neil - brilliant idea, well executed!

Well done gents, such a nice gesture to MJ and she deserves it

Toasted marshmallows for the visitors?

Nice one Neil and Mike ++++++


So is that the first diesel-powered device to enter the Doctor's workshop!? ;)

I think it should qualify as a, plug in hybrid

That's amazing, well done chaps! And very well deserved!

Worse still, it isn't a D2!
