    You can plug in at least 3, from what I see.

    Yes, but be sure to use a three prong plug.

    I see room for 7 more.
    Go for it.

    Or end up in outer space.

    Must have missed one of Jeff Foxworthy's jokes re: redneck electrical circuits.
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Either have the fire department on speed dial or hope they can see the smoke signal.

    I believe that may belong to Clark Griswold. Don't forget to turn on the switch for the Christmas lights.

    I can't believe that with all the electrical engineers we have here, not one of them mentioned that you can obviously plug in at least 7 power strips like these! AND they come with the added benefit of having their own surge protector! What more could you ask for??

    Looks like the garage of an electrical inspector I knew. Long story!

    I wouldn't waste money on a space heater and I don't imagine that heating the space will be a major problem in the near future.

    Tell me you didn't actually find that on a job somewhere.

    Why do you need a space heater, there should be enough heat coming off the wires that are already there to warm up the room.
