Hi everyone,

I'm still working on my greenhouse foundation, slow going because it has been so wet here.
Ground dries out a little & it pours some more. That's ok it's all fun.
I have a couple pictures showing the progress of the foundation. This first one is of the inside showing some double alum. bubble Ins. I buried uder the dirt just for some added protection. I can poke holes easily for drainage.
The sides are now 5 1/2" thick w/insulation. Under the 4x4's there is some 3 1/2 " foam ins. that my son the electrician brought home from the dumpster @ a beer warehouse. It was used in the big coolers & has fiberglass panels on both sises & just about fits under the 4x4's.
Then I added 2" of reg. building foam insul. to the outside of that. I am now in the process of building a stone wall all around to hold the panels in place and to also hold all the dirt inside the base.
I'll post some more pictures.
