Every Tuesday I work from home, via computer, so that opens up small windows here and there for things that need to get done...like building a cold frame for instance. I've laid out the instructions step by step.

1} Get crazy idea to build cold frame when your supposed to be working.
2} Ransack basement for scrap wood. Make sure to use expensive trim that should have been used in the kitchen.
3}Begin cutting wood with miter saw. Make up the measurements as you go.
4} Get drill out and begin assembling something resembling a 6'x3' box.
5} Drill deeply into index finger. Remove bit by switching drill on reverse position.
6}Cuss loudly. Loud enough so household pets are now afraid of you.
7} Begin wrestling match with 100 foot roll of 4 mil plastic sheeting.
8}Run frantically upstairs to check for messages from boss. All clear. Go back downstairs.
9} Step on stray screws on basement floor{only ones standing pointy side up}. Do not wear boots during this step, only bedroom slippers.Boots may take away the desired effect.
10} Drop piece of nail ridden scrap wood through side of frame, make sure plastic now has a large gash in it. Duct tape where needed.
11} Your frame is now complete. Move to garden.
12} When wife pulls in driveway and asks if that is a chicken coop, explain to her that it is not a chicken coop, but a high tech device to keep plants warm.

I hope I've outlined these steps nice and simple for everyone. Have a nice day ;}

It is not a project until you bleed on it, so congrats on your PROJECT. :D

#7, rolled greased snot, exactly, that is the only way to sprain your whole body and pull a few things. I sympathize greatly with that one!

Get tetnaus shot? (hope you did)

Made me smile a lot... BTDT.
