Has anyone ever used a 'hover'?

Oh, it has been unseasonably cold here this week. It was down to 19F last night. I had to bring them in the house. They are only 5 days old. I will build this for next batch!

Thanks Zookeeper15133

Anyone that has built one of these, I have a couple questions in regards to dimensions ?

Could you pass along some dimensions on the distance from the floor to the bottom edge of the brooder (chick entrance height), Where on the inside wall (height) is the light fixture mounted to avoid any accidental chick cooking ?
Cheers,
Clint

It is 4" from floor to bottom of sides. Then you put bricks under it as they grow. It looks like A. T. Hagan's lights are closer to the bottom. If you figure the inside side is only 8" and the workbox is 4"; then go from his pic.
