Put a towel against the door at the floor. If the windows are cold around the edges, caulk. Inside or outside, or maybe both. If the glass, it will obstruct your viision, but put a vinyl sheet over the window. DIY or they sell kits which I guess make doing the edges easier. Maybe some vinyl is clear enough to see pretty well, at least for the first winter. |

Insulate it. Double or triple glaze it if it isnt already. Add decent curtains if it doesnt get a lot of solar in the windows and you most use it at night. |

Lonely Psychotic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert!
On Thu, 14 Nov 2019 10:13:03 +1100, cantankerous trolling geezer Rodent
Speed, the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: If you were doing zonal, portable heating of one room in the house, and you wanted to better retain the heat produced from a small, portable electric heater, what could you do to the room? Insulate it. Brilliant, as always, trolling senile wisenheimer! -- Marland answering senile Rodent's statement, "I don't leak": "That¢s because so much **** and ****e emanates from your gob that there is nothing left to exit normally, your arsehole has clammed shut through disuse and the end of prick is only clear because you are such a ******."

Maybe some vinyl is clear enough to see pretty well, at least for the first winter. Carpet the floor and hang "tapestries" on the walls or reflective bubble insulation. Make sure the ceiling is insulated - and if a "long term" situation insulate walls and floor as well |

Maybe some vinyl is clear enough to see pretty well, at least for the first winter. I have several windows that don't have much of a view and it's dark enough here in the winter that except for the south facing windows they don't add enough light to bother so I cut foam insulating panels to size and use double sided tape to mount them to the frames. Depending on how well insulated the room is to start with, foam on the exterior walls will help. Throw rugs help if the floor is cold. |
