[Chat] insulating tin box bumpouts?

[Eric A. Perlman]

Many of us have closets which extens roughly half a foot outside of the house.
All the seperates the inside of the closet and the outside world is a very
thin layer of metal.

Think of nice, cold, clothing in the morning all winter long...

I think most have since been filled in with brick, which is totally reasonable,
but I'd bemoan the loss of the closet.

We have a couple rough ideas for how to improve this, but I'm just curious if there are any good ideas out there.
