After a few weeks of back and forth and figuring out exactly how I wanted my greenhouse done it is finally in the very last stages. Just a couple small panels, some silicon to seal everything up and some gravel on the floor and it will be ready for its new tenants.

Possibly, but then some plants would have to wait outside! I am curious to see how well some heli's would do in the summer time. II have some from TC and might just place a few out there next spring. If I had more room indoors I would hang Neps all around the inside and just bring them in come fall.

Well, This is as good as it gets for now. I am having back/neck surgery on Wednesday and I wanted everything close to finished before then as I will be down for at least 6 weeks. I was able to get all my year old seedlings and all plants in for their long winters nap. We will hit mid 70's on Monday and after that it is down hill until May or June 2025.

OK, Last update until after surgery, I promise. I have a stand on order but it did not arrive in time for me to start filling with RO water. Has taken close to 24 hours to fill a 60 gallon water tank. I know how gravity works but unfortunately I had to make sure I have easy access to the water for my wife to be able to tote in gallon jugs for me and I ran out of time. If all else fails I have a solar water pump and a couple of batteries I could hook up to draw the water in until I am able to get it up in the air more. The hoses will eventually be buried with gravel.
