I have the foundation done, water, electric and a cat5 cable run and floor leveled off. I am anxiously waiting for the GH kit to arrive. I appreciate all the help I have recieved here on this forum. I thought I would post a few pics of my progress so far. I welcome any comments or advice that I could take now to avoid big problems later.

I am really lost now on the bench situation. I thought originally that I would grow in flats and containers on top of wooden benches, but now am thinking I would like to have raised benches filled with soil to grow directly in, and also grow in flats, containers etc just sitting on top of the soil benches. I realize this would be easier to figure out if I knew what I was going to grow. In general, I would like to grow my own bedding plants, some tomatoes and other vegetables. I would also like to have some permanment tropicals in the greenhouse, like banana tress and some other such plants. I am leaving an area open just inside the double door so that I can bring in tropicals to overwinter also. I would also like to grow various cut flowers and other intersting flowers. So......

This is what I have accomplished thus far. This is a pic of where we picked the power up for the GH.
