Oct+28+2011+Virtual+meeting

Basically we need to renovate the existing cold frame to make it useable through the cold months and I’d like to have the kids build 2 different types of cold frames down in the garden. (They did some planning and research today.)

For the existing cold frame I need: 1-2 sheets of 1”-thick foam insulation Wood/scrap wood and maybe windows. I have some old storm windows and I’m thinking about trying to scavenge something from the landfill in Westminster. (Even though we’re not supposed to scavenge.) I was going to lower the height and make it longer but we can also just keep the existing footprint and remount the door. Plastic sheeting 4-6 bales straw

For the garden I need: PVC pipe and fittings Plastic sheeting 4-6 Bales of straw Maybe wood/scrap wood 1-2 sheets of 1”-thick foam insulation

Since we won’t meet again for 2 weeks, I conceivably have enough time to send out a note to parents/GT parents and see if anyone has something lying around…. I won’t be able to get pricing for you until next week.

Thoughts, ideas, feedback welcome…
