I'm so excited to get my little veg seedlings into these mini tunnels. And as of yesterday, just a few days after installing them, the soil is toasty. A whopping 58F degrees! Just a few weeks ago, before the mini tunnels went up, the soil was 37F degrees. We've had unseasonably warm weather here in the Chicago area so that's made things happen a lot faster than they normally would. My goal was to get the soil up to 45F-50F and then plant. I'm definitely there and now I just need to harden off my seedlings which will take another week.
As mentioned in the video, here are the links to the things I used to build the mini tunnels:

Hi there! My name is Heather and I garden in zone 5B, recently changed to 6a, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago on a small residential lot. My garden lives a whole lot larger than it is and I love sharing tips and tricks, as well as plenty of mistakes, with others who love to play in the dirt.
