Yes indeed. Roger ...

Tas, i dont have one but arent those oil filled (electric)radiators supposed to be cheap and efficient to run. Dimplex or similar, from memory. Plug n play...Dr. Google will give you the heat/cost figs, me thinks. Throw a few batts around yr shed first though otherwise you are just kissing yr energy dollars goodbye. Like you, i had a heap of stents (and a quaddie some years back) bloke just has to keep on keepin on ....projects are good for us older farts....
