For warming boxes I have used 2" foam glued together with RTV.  Light, easy 

to construct, and well insulated.

I went to the local hardware store and purchased a thermostat and it truns on and off a 500 watt heat lamp in my small well house.   it keeps it around 45 degrees F .   The well house is well insulated and it works very good.  I live in Tx so my temps are warmer than yours but gives you a idea anyway.

I am about to go through my first winter in a hanger.  I have some chemicals

like cleaners, polishing compounds, etc. that have the recommendation to not let

freeze.  I would rather keep these at the hanger instead of trying to remember

to haul them back and forth from home.  I remember hearing or reading a

recommendation a while back about building a box and putting a light bulb inside

it.  The idea is that the bulb would provide just enough heat to keep things

from freezing, but not too much to cause a fire hazard.



I am on southern Ohio where we usually do get too terribly cold, as compared to

you Wisconsin guys, but do see plenty of days below freezing.  I was thinking of

a plywood box lined with aluminum foil and a 75 or 100 watt bulb.  Any helpful

hints or suggestions on box construction, insulation and safety concerns?  



Thanks
