    Anybody have a hobby-size greenhouse?

    I'm thinking of getting one, perhaps 8x10 or so. I want something with a frame and polycarbonate panels, not the hoop-and-plastic-sheet type.

    I've surfed around a bit, and it looks like kits will...

    If this is for a computer modem, I'd recommend biting the bullet and running new copper all the way to the Telco box.
