Default temperature control

I bought some plastic sheeting- the thick kind used for drop clothes
from HD for about 5$- and wrapped it around a 4'x3'x6' enclosure (3
shelves). I then put a oil filled heater in there and turned the heat
WAY down... happens to correspond to a paint splotch from when it was
in a paint booth.

Anyways, this kept the wines at a comfy 70 degrees or so thru the last
winter. Not much electicity used either- better seals would help that.
