Greenhouse in the winter

[emm]

Lots going on there.  It must feel good to go into the greenhouse on a cold winter day and putter around in there for a while.  I appreciate all the photos; its an interesting setup you have.

I have always wanted a greenhouse, now the trees have grown so much there is little room for one and it wouldn't get the sun probably needed

I usually start building the fires at 4 before the sun goes down, and reload about every two hours, so usually my last time to load is around midnight. Last night at midnight the temperature on my thermometer outside read 4*, but inside the gh was 45*. Not too bad. I used to get up at 3 and add to the fire but I decided that after midnight  I didn't want to get up from bed and put wood on the fire, so I let the gas heater take over entirely after midnight when the temp gets too low. I need my sleep!  Wink

Wow. I've looked at (and enjoyed) these pics a few times now, all bundled up nice in my warm house with hot coffee. But I keep thinking, how can you do all that day after day? Trudging out to the greenhouse and maintaining that heat. And do you get any heavy snow that you need to take off the greenhouse?

Your level of dedication is amazing.

I enjoy going out to the gh and puttering around in the winter even just for an hour or so. Unfortunately, we had a fire a few weeks ago the did considerable damage to the gh, although only a portion was ruined entirely. Now begins the task of rebuilding. Temporary repairs has keep the gh working, however.
