Passive Solar Greenhouse Update!

We have made great progress on our 12' x 24' passive solar greenhouse build. It's coming along so nicely!! We are getting to the fun part now, starting to button this project up and do the finishing touches.

What we have left to do:

Build transom windows

Install polycarbonate

Build raised bed inside greenhouse

Add trim

Install venting equipment

Eavestrough

Install waterline

What will be done next year:

Insulating

Sheeting the interior walls

Building a work bench

Finishing the floor (I am going to put patio stones down - might get to this this fall we will see)

Add supplemental heat (thinking wood stove or pellet stove and maybe a forced air propane heater too)

This project is looking like it's about $7,500 CAD to build ($9,000 CAD if you insulate and finish the interior walls right away).

Got questions? Let me know in the comments!
