2. Thanks.

Somewhere in our near future there IS a small greenhouse.
This one is beautiful, but looks a little difficult to build.

4. I've got plans (in my head) to build a green house attached to our house,

but this green house idea just won't look right, I do think it's neat project.

Our dining room has twin windows(72" wide). My "plan" is to replace the windows with two doors(France type) and have it open into a 12x12 greenhouse. It's floor will be a deck.

5. We're considering that too, but for solar gain in the winter.

I'm trying to talk the Mister into putting a bank of solar water panels on top instead of a roof. Double duty....

3. I've lost 2 home-made greenhouses to windstorms.

I don't think I'll try again until I can figure out how to do a better job securing them. This is a nifty little greenhouse, though!

6. Yeah, we just lost one home-made greenhouse to the winds.

We have since decided to buy a used one that has held up for a couple of years. I think our problem is securing the plastic tightly enough.
