Thanks, but can't do a radiant heater - my three cats are sharing the office with me (the shop was originally built for a Log Truck) and the office is 8x10.

They'd run the risk of catching fire (Momma is short hair but her two boys are long haired)

Well I gave your dilemma some thought and here's what I came up with. My own invention I'll call it..............the radiant heater inclusion/ cat exclusion device.
Basically a dome made out of maluable/ highly permeable material i.e. something similar to chicken wire but more stout( able to support the wieght of several cats.
There is one material that comes to mind but I don't know what its called. See it at home depot all the time. Made out off about 1 or 2 centimeter thick wire with about 2" by 5" rectangular gaps.
People make little fences out of it, often to put around flower beds and such. If your not sure the stuff I'm talking about id be happy to swing by home depot today on the way home and snap a picture of what im talking about and send it to you.
If it in fact is not of sufficient strength to support the wieght of several cats you could either built a frame for aditional support say out of 2×2" square metal tubing or just opt for a similar but stronger material.
Would have to anchor it down of course but lots of options there like tie the bottom to a half dozen bricks situated like legs on a sofa or bolt it to the shop floor if practical.
The 2nd approach would necessitate a hinged door for heater access.
 
The emotional rollercoaster of selling my house is starting to get to me. Plus I had to order 2 more pods because they wouldn't take the one that was 12000 lbs over the weight limit.
Maybe its time to switch to e-books.
Nah.
Gotta get them loaded before the snow hits. 42 minutes according to Accuwether.
 
Darned wrists are still swollen and inflamed, making everything difficult to do. At leas the pain has subsided from "******* agony" to just "Sh*t this hurts" !
 
We were told going back to 10 hour days again indefinitely because our ****ing California warehouse is being so incompetently managed they're not shipping product remotely on schedule. As a result the other three locations now have to pick up the slack these retards have caused just to stay even on the numbers. And this is after Cali screwed us over for almost
four months earlier this year with the same problems. Burn them to the ground, salt the earth and move on I say...
 
Unhealthy workload thanks to the time of the year....shattered, knackered, exhausted, worn, tired and sore, I wish people would stop drinking, over christmas and new year that is!
I can't wait to see the back of this month!
 
Sounds like my job for the last 20 years. The guys who work hard pick up the slack for the guys who barly work at all. As a matter a fact sounds like every place I've ever worked in my life. And management just keeps leaning on the good guys because they have productivity goals to meet right now and its alot easier to lean on the good guys one more time than to go through the long agonizing task of trying to deal with the slackers so it never gets fixed.
Oh well, I gave up resenting it a couple years ago, accepted that's just the way it is and started happily counting the days to my rapidly approaching retirement instead.
