Jnette I have a homemade greenhouse and use electric to heat it. My bill doesn't jump to much in the winter. Yes I have been lurking for quite awhile. It's not a hoophouse and I have had it for 5 yrs now.

You guys are going to laugh. It is on the west side of the garage. Some of it is made of used materials. old house windows 2x4's from a tear down-outdoor plywood clear coragated for roofing I think it is called. It is probably too boxed in but it does work. I winter over plants and put my seedlings out there when they are started. I just wish it was bigger. 8x10 is not big enough. I'll try to find a decent picture. Oh yeah it is attached to the garage where we put in a door and then a door on the south side.

I bought bubble insulation for the inside of the roof. Added another layer of large bubble wrap I get in my orders.

In the walls I have 2-3 layers of the large bubble wrap from my orders. They say not to use it for insulation. It works and it is free for me. I went over the windows with a layer since they are single pane.
