Well.. every year I keep everything up and growing inside.. in three big areas.. leaving about as much space as they take for my living.. as the collection has increased.. I've a despirate need for more space.. I thought maybe a greenhouse but it's much more work than keeping them dormant.. so I built a cool house on the roof .. one that could be made permimant if there was a siding or stucco coating put on the outside..but I'lldismantle andstore i t for the summer..
The CoolHouse.. is built of 1 1/2 " foam..slipped into the 1 1/2 " steel track..not screwed or glued in.. just slipped inot the track... thefloor/plants inside hold it down.. it's not bolted into the roof in any manner.. I just finished the double doors today.. and moved a few things in... but mostly everything is outside for another few weeks here... I'll post the first picture.. then I have a question..
