Dear MNetters,
In March I moved into an adorable property where I am happy. The property was built in the 80s and has been extended in the mid-90s via a little conservatory. In my wisdom I decided to use the conservatory as a study / creative space (think: studio) and have furnished accordingly.
Trouble is it is bloody freezing. I am most productive in the early hours of the morning and my fingers are icy. There is no heating in the conservatory itself and even if the heating is on in the house with the door from the house to the conservatory open it doesn't warm up quite enough.
What options would you advise? I have looked into a few things and many of them say "for occasional use" whereas I would want something to use daily before I go to work and possibly in the evenings and/or on weekends. In the summer I might well face the opposite problem although I would be able to open all of the doors and windows. At the moment I have computer hardware in here and I am wondering if the temperature fluctuations will affect that. I wonder if one solution might ultimately be to replace the conservatory with a brick-built extension (which might well require planning permission) but for now I am looking for a temporary solution to get me through the next few seasons/years.
All ideas appreciated - at the moment I am thinking that fingerless gloves could go a long way here and one friend proposed using an electric blanket.
