Ok JB to answer some of your Qs, one most the bigger plants that have to go thru dormacy will be put in the barn, 2 the smaller ones will of course go to the fridge, the ones not going thru dormancy will be brought into the house like normal. Now as far as the plastic goes trust me i have used this plastic since i was younger for many things and yes i agree with a load of snow sitting on it its not gona be able to handle it, one with the pitch and 2 with us using a tarp over the green house and 3 with me cleaning the snow off it i wont have a prob with snow load, Im not gona worry bout using a heater in there for the winter because the plants are not gona be in there. Remember this is just a make shift GH for now next yr hubby is gona build me a big one with the right materials to with stand the elaments and make it thru winter and will will be able to heat that one, there are many green houses/nurseries up around us, they use some sort of heavy heavy duty milk white plastic or whatever ya call it hubby and i will be finding out what that is or we can go with a diffrent sort of GH and build it with these see thru panels, i dont know what its called but hubby does. Right now this is just a quick toss up GH for me to use till winter. We are gona paint the frame work outside and still have alot to do yet, We have lived and delt with the super harsh winters up here for more than 25 yrs and we know what we can use and what we cant use. Im glad you brought up all these points of view and thanks for the awsome input i apreciate it JB, you to droseraguy..
You know im open to any and all input, but we didnt have much to use and i wanted something built to get me thru the rest of the season even though our season is getting shorter quickly. :-( JB you and i and droseraguy will get together on something for next spring and maybe we can all chit chat about building the right GH. Sound good guys?? Total investment in this so far guys about $10.00..
Heres what we got done today we finished plasticing the 3 sides and i still gota trim the plastic from the inside window frame so that it dont look crappy, yes its not the best job but when your in a hurry it happens that way..
Anyways we still gota finish the front get the door on and get the tables built and get the GH put where i want it to go. Still gota get the paint tomarrow and the rocks plus the ceder. I will get more pics tomarrow and then once everything is in place and finished i will take more pics..
And droseraguy, hubby would definately go for the drag car befour investing more into my projects.. LOL!! Unless i get out the whips and chains then its another story all together...
anyways heres whats been done so far, looks like crap now but wait till we are completed..
