Cold Frame Revisited

With winter approaching, it's time to reconfigure the old cold frame so we can keep fresh, late season veggies growing long past the first frost. The original design incorporated a salvaged storm window, but it was too long to face south in the new raised beds and it's paint was flaking badly. I was worried that there was lead in the paint so I decided to build a new window out of raw cedar. Note the bridal joints and through tenons. I chopped the old box down to fit the new window.
