Green House Build

[charlie]

Hello all,

After my first year of high school, my Dad and I started work on a greenhouse. For a while we had considered building our own from scratch, but we both realized that was unrealistic due to my Mom's standards. After negotiating for a little while we decided on a Cedar Built 6x10' greenhouse. http://www.cedar-built.com/. Timelapse and more pictures coming soon. My Dad and I probably spent an equal amounts of time staining the wood and actually building the greenhouse. Since then we have purchased a heater called Dr Heater like this one https://www.amazon.com/Heater-DR218-.../dp/B00J6B2F1Q. It has functioned quite well with keeping the temps above 50 for the Nepenthes. I hope this helps for anyone who is looking at building a greenhouse, and I have to say, it was well worth it!

Looks good! I bet you're going to fill it up fast.

You're off to a good start it seems. What max temperature are you aiming for inside the greenhouse?

[charlie]

I'm just aiming to keep the temps above 50. The greenhouse has roof vent openers that come on at around 75-80 degrees. Haven't had to do anything more than that as the greenhouse was only a construction project during the summer. Thinking about getting a swamp cooler for those hot summer days, but we'll see! I'll aim to keep it under 90 when I can...

Yee-ha! Charlie! 'Looks good. How soon do you think it will be before you are ready to put plants in it?

[charlie]

Oh I already have plants in it... I'll see if I can get some pictures up once I'm finished studying!

I see myself looking to do the same in a year and a half. Can you tell me roughly the number of hours long this project took?
