Thanks Allison, Sure wish I had it heated for this winter but that will wait till Spring so I can get an early start on some of my Tropicals.
Here is the crew, DH Ric who did most of the work and all the research and planing. Son's Josh who did a good bit of digging putting in that electrical conduit and helped with the concrete. Jamie that helped with the panels.

Julia, I will ask him but really I don't think so. He also did a lot of research and found a Blog with a ton of info and we used a lot of it and he modified a few things they did.

Just a few, winter veggies. We aren't going to heat it this winter so the real growing won't start until next spring. I will say it sure would be nice to move some of my plants in there now but they will have to spend the winter here in the house.

Loved this thread! I wanted to join in as it is a cold gray day here in Washington, the state. However, it is always spring/summer in the greenhouse. You all have such nice ones! Mine is very small 6x8 but thankful for every inch.

We won't be heating our GH this winter but I have a few plants in there that I just haven't figured out what to do with.
These pots were sitting on each side of the GH doors this summer.

There are also a few flats of mixed lettuce.

Still have a few things needing a permanent winter home too.
We have had temps down as low as 19 deg
I have found a single candle will keep things warm enough not to freeze on the cold nights ''so far''
