Well this is the first winter that we've stayed home in a very long time since I retired in 2006. My plan was to run trains & do scenery but unfortunately I didn't realize that the basement would get so cold. It's 2000 sq. feet and a balmy 52 degrees. I have a couple of small portable heaters that warm up my work bench area but do nothing for the rest of the area.
The house has forced hot air (which I hate) but that's a saga for another time. I'm going to have the furnace guys come up in the spring & see if the furnace is big enough to add a couple of trunks to it for the basement and help the temperature down there. I've looked in to those Mitsubishi heaters but they would have to drill into the sill or concrete and I dont want that,
Unfortunately I have no windows in the basement and therefore I can't add a window or two unit.
So that's my dilemma, Any other ideas??
