My home office is an afterthought. It was once a concrete outdoor entry with a waist-high concrete banister wall, then someone installed windows and called it a room. It is a masterpiece of inefficiency. It's just 45 degrees Fahrenheit outside and I can't do more than half an hour of work at a time before my fingers start going numb. Yay.First: there's some carpet with a thick pad on most of the floor. There's plastic window insulation on the windows. One wall has a bookcase on it. The windows are OK. The 3-ish foot high concrete wall below the windows is giving off so much cold so quickly that when I put my hand in front of it, it feels like there's a draft. The floor is also concrete, and it's chilling the carpet so badly that the carpet seems kinda pointless.I'm a renter, which means proper insulation solutions are out of the question. Do you have any suggestions for making this absurd concrete room into a bearable workspace for the time being? via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2ABVs9P
