Impressive, really impressive, DE.
I was just going to tell you about quartz heaters. They're about 3 feet tall, and about a foot across.
It is supposed to heat THE PERSON, but if you have it on long enough, it warms the room. On a cold night, it wouldn't hurt to have one, imo.
What a terrific coincidence that your builder's assistant was there and had exactly what you needed!
A quarter of the price - t'aint nothing wrong with that!
(no offense, but I still don't want a house, although I do want to go home.)
WONDERFUL!!
