- The cold frame on its side while I the complete Univent instaltion.
Have I mentioned I constructed this cold frame hastily?
Even my trip to Community Forklift was barely planned, I was rummaging through the cabinets of door hinges while they announced they were closing in five minutes.
I set about installing the cold frame’s glass lid with a vague notion of how I would get the not-quite-appropriate hinges to fit and about 45 minutes to execute it.
By the time I finished, I had a working glass top, a Univent auto opener installed correctly and a few large gaps where there should be none.
I called it a success and returned the next day with a fresh plan to fix the gaps.
