Even if you don't use it anymore, it's neat to look back on and say "hey, that was pretty cool". :) Your point about cost is well taken, our solution to a similar problem was more than $150 for sure but we used a Venstar thermostat and insteon control modules to turn on and off our window AC units in the bedrooms.

Second, the total cost of my project was under $150 including the space heater, half the cost of the cheapest heater on that site...

It heats my house, and it cut my heat bill almost in half. It only operates til it warms up then it shuts off.

I've been thinking about using an old thermostat to control a celing fan. This is exactly what I need with a couple of mods. ;-) Thanks for this!
