Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 3:30 am Post subject: Off Topic: Winter Hanger "Warm Box"

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
