    Heating/insulating bathroom
    Hi, are there any cheap easy was that I can keep my bathroom warm, I head maybe plastic wrap the windows, the only problem with that is I have to open the windows after a shower so that it won't condense the water and ruin the wood so I'm told, but is there anything I can do to stop me from freezing every time I take a shower.
    Thanks

    I am not sure what The "cheap" is and don't know what heating system you have now. You can add heat but I need to know what system you have. Other than pluging a portable heater in and outlet ( use a G.F.I ) to plug into. Need more info.

    No Heating system. The cheapest is take aregular outlet that's close and change it to a rated G.F.I outlet and get a cermaic little heater. Actually I use one in my bathroom now. ( Iam going to demo the whole house later. That's the safest and cheapest possibe. Good Luck. Happy Holiday!

    Do you just need a little heat for getting out of the shower? If so, how about an exaust fan with a heat lamp in the ceiling. You can also purchase small wall mount electric heaters that are 120 volts.
