    Hello Carol,
    When it came time to construct our greenhouse, the easiest way to 
convince my wife and partner of the need was to remind her of how she feels 
in winter when playing in the greenhouse. We met when she worked part time 
at a nursery and garden center. In fact, we knew a man who had no interest 
in plant, but had a greenhouse constructed just so he could lay in his 
hammock and read a book in the winter. He is how has a medicinal herb 
business.
    My greenhouse is custom designed. First 4 feet are on footers and poured 
concrete like your basement. The structure is pushed back into the side of 
the hill for insulation value. Frame is like a home, only with greenhouse 
film stretched double. Front faces north so we finished it off like and old 
barn with rough sawed siding... local red oak. Inside has bathroom 
facilities for guests, other side has a small office with the refrigerator. 
We do shipping from down the middle of the structure and the outside benches 
usually have baby plants growing on..... In the winter all JoAn's tenders 
are in larger containers at the back and center. We spend more time in the 
greenhouse than we do our home.
