Hi Everyone...
In an effort to extend the seasons here in the northeast, we have decided to add a green house.
Had a quote of $45,000.00 from a contractor.... ya, how about NO
I designed and constructed my own home, so I'm not about to pay someone that kind of money to frame up and construct a green house.
I've done a preliminary search online for green house designs and kits and it occurred to me, that maybe one of the wonderful gardeners visiting Patti's message board, may have already built a green house and would like to share what they found good or bad about the design they came up with?
I'm looking for permanent... footer, masonry, irrigation system and thermal glass... and automatic venting, like those wax filled openers that expand with heat and then contract when cooled.. You know, all the stuff that's useful, or not?
Do I have to start from scratch? Or is there a great kit green house resource out there somewhere?
Thanks in advance for your input!
