Locksmithing and Security » workshop http://www.clapham-locksmiths.co.uk/blog Security advice from a working locksmith and safe engineer Fri, 11 Mar 2011 11:43:22 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 Toasty http://www.clapham-locksmiths.co.uk/blog/2010/03/09/toasty/ http://www.clapham-locksmiths.co.uk/blog/2010/03/09/toasty/#comments Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:09:55 +0000 The Locksmith http://www.clapham-locksmiths.co.uk/blog/?p=820 When I built the workshop at the bottom of the garden (OK, it’s a shed), I’m glad to say I went a bit over-the-top insulating it. I was going to line the walls with pegboard so I put polystyrene foam and aluminium foil behind the pegboard. By the way, holes are darned expensive: pegboard is more than three times the price of plain hardboard. I couldn’t see any way of doing the same kind of thing for the roof, so I gritted my teeth and stumped up the money for the proper thing—foil-coated polyfoam.

The trouble is I should never have let the cat watch Pinocchio. When I’m working down there, he fancies coming in and helping. Once he’s in, however, and sees the reality of filing things, he quickly gets bored and wants to go out. Then, only having a slightly better memory than a goldfish, he wants to come in again. And so it goes; along with my nice warm air.
