I'd look at it this way... presumably grading papers is a priority- however
that can be done after dark, inside. Warmth and daylight are for other
things. On the other hand, I've done several Vgon jobs inside so you gotta
be careful not to get carried away. : )
Schedule yourself an hour (or two) a day with the Vgon and stick to it and
you'll be surprised how far you get.
Cya,
Robert
