Winter's Toll On Supplies!


I am sure this has been brought up before, but I am tired of my joint compound, caulk, wood filler etc. freezing on me. Yes--I know--I can just bring them in the house (and I do most of the timebut its a PITA), but I was wondering if anyone had any success mounting some sort of heater in their van that runs overnight?? Is that asking for trouble? How suspicious would that look if the van went up in smoke!

A lot of people up north leave a light or two on in their boat engine rooms to keep things from freezing. It's a cheap, easy solution.
