Ok, we've decided to build me a 12X20 greenhouse. DH is in construction so "do-it-yourself" is our only option. I am by no means complaining. I do believe that it will go out by the barn for the following reasons:
#1 maximum breeze there
#2 maximum sun all year
#3 electricity is in the barn
#4 I will be close to my compost pile now
We will be updating our elec panel to accomodate the well we want to put back there plus the other electricity needed.
These things are not cheap. I think i'll be insulating it with plastic. The shelves will be off the walls so you can install and remove the plastic. This is readily available to DH. He is going to do either 2 or 3 cinder block high wall then raise it up inside with dirt. We have some huge storm windows that were given to us (DH never throws anything away) Those will be incorporated also.
This is the first step anyway. I'm sure things will change until (and porbably during) we start building. Either way I am excited.
