I'm sure a new box would be an easy thing for you to throw together. On the other hand, it seemed like you had just about achieved your goals with the fridge - what with all of your plants thriving, so it's tough to overlook the age-old adage - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

As for your space issues, LST is a very easy method to learn. There are plenty of threads/posts on this board with picture by picture explanation on how to LST; it should work like a champ for you to save on headroom, and you've plenty of time until you should begin.

Keep up the good work, Smurph!
Yeah, I'm a programmer at heart. I have written programs for various reasons for the past 10 years freelance. I was also in a robotics competition (though I don't wear glasses, button-downs, or the like) in high school. We kicked ass. Second place overall in regional, got best design, and got knocked out in the semi-finals at nationals.

My job doesn't pay too well so funds are TIGHT. I'm going to have to build out of mostly what we've got lying around our two houses. I'm a McGuyver of sorts. I'll keep ya posted
