I am starting to build a baby GH ( 8x16) in my city backyard from recycled materials. Designing and building the GH from re-cycled materials requires a lot of thought and the finished product looks so easy. I can see many hours of enjoyment in your GH, good job.

Thank you for the kind words. I am really enjoying it. We had some nice sunny days recently, so spent some time cleaning it out this past week as I needed to move my seedlings in and out.
I will be planting some of the beds with greens and kale soon. I have some lettuce and cabbage started in the house and in containers.

Supposed to get a wintersnow/sleet storm tonight and through tomorrow, and the last couple days have been overcast, so the GH temps are hovering around the 40's so far this week..last week had a brief warmup in the 50's and lots of sunny days, so the indoor temp was around 78 degrees..very nice for the seedlings.

I am happy you are getting the chance to build your GH..I am sure you are putting a lot of thought and time into it as well. When using diff. size windows and doors it does take planning to get everything to look cohesive..I painted the trim and everything green to bring it all together..Your 8 x 16 Gh will be big enough to start lots of seedlngs. And to grow lots of goodies..Please post pic's when you can..Would love to see it!
