That is great news. I don't know how you survived. I was a basket case with mine in the frig. Having them outside! I would have gone nuts with worry. My fear would be that my design would put them in jeopardy.
I have my outdoor area marked off and will start construction as soon as the frost is out of the ground. No matter how good I think I've built it, I still will worry. Hear in Iowa it gets very, very cold.
