Very nice, I asked for a green house from Santa. Nice to see a fellow Kentuckian.

Hey Jerry does it have double walls of poly? This will make a world of difference in your heating ablities. The bubble--double poly we use are about 10 better than glass. The larger the air space the better. Good luck with if have you figured a heat source for it yet? I have seen a out door wood burning stove that connects a vent right into the greenhouse. You load it up outside but the heat is let out inside. I will have to find a link.

My friends heat two mobile homes from one stove like Brian is talking about.
It's actually an outdoor wood fired furnace.
They only stoke it twice a day.

thanks for all the info. Brian sorry i have not been out there lately but been really buisy as to double polly not yet but it is 2 by 4 construction and im getting redy to cover the inside soon and drill small holes in the wood for air transfer.
as to heat im just using electric as kerosene is allmost 4 dollars a gallon but in spring im going to build a coldframe and wood will heat it. It is comming down to money more than anything but it should be better real soon.

I wish i would have just built a cold frame but owell like i said its just not affordable as of yet.

Thanks all
Jerry
