Hi again all,we've bought a wendy-house (see separate thread).I'm considering installing an electrict greenhouse heater (120w or similar) - both to take the bite out of the cold when the children are playing in it during the Winter, but also under the (possibly mistaken) idea that having it on for a couple of hours per day would prolong the life of the house.The Wendy-house builder chap warned against use of such a heater, but I wasn't convinced.... He said that wood likes to be damp, and the drying effect of the heater would reduce the wendy-house life. If the slow-steady heat is destructive I'd be happy enough to (safely) fit a convector heater for the period when the children are actually in there. I just want to double-check the builder's statement.So, I'd appreciate any advice on heating my lovely new erection ;-]Cheers,Ian.

What a classic quote!The reason not to heat the wendy house is because it would cost a fortune torun, unless you insulated it. 50mm of celotex all round inside should do.When the kids are inside, it will barely need heating, as the body heat willdo most of the work.Christian.

Often with a 'y' or 'ie' added. Which really confuses non locals. 'Yon loonie' just refers to a lad...

Ah, so they dont mean anything when they call me that :)
