So Thurs morning I went back out to finish...it was cold and had rained overnight so everything was cold and wet and slippery. But I was under pressure--temps were going to get down to the low to mid 30's last night (coldest night so far this year for us) so I knew I had to get it done and get my babies in there so they didn't freeze to death! I struggled a little bit snapping the last few panels into place, but I had done the hardest part the day before so overall not a bad day! Attaching the door was also pretty easy, although I ended up attaching the track 3 different times...first time I put it on, but then couldn't get the door to slide in nicely, so I took it off, flipped it upside down, and tried again. That didn't work either, so I went back to the first way and this time it worked! So now it's all together, I need to get some duct tape and patch up the big gaps, and I need to get bubble wrap to cover up between the base and the ground (one end is a foot off the ground, so cold air can get in pretty easy! and then I want to caulk around the panels to help keep them in place. So I moved as many plants in as I could in the short time I had, and got the heater plugged in to protect everything for the night. I'm sure there are a few plants I missed (I have 300 or so containers and the tropicals are all mixed in with the plants that are waiting to go in my garden, so I'm sure I missed a couple!)

Here's the finished greenhouse:
