I'm utterly insane.. - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**adsexpist** · 09-17-2007, 06:54 PM

I'm picking up my new(actually old but never assembled kit) greenhouse tomorrow. Am renting a 26ft. truck and picking it up. It will sit until I can figure out how to do the foundation work for a new 14 x 20' greenhouse. I hired someone to do the footings for my current 12' x 18' so this is going to be fun....NOT. I'm insane and I need help.

The good news is this new g.h. will be to mainly house my paphs and shade lovers. So, lots of room for breeding and new purchases

Congrats make sure to take photos for us. So now does this mean baby paphs for all when you start breeding

**adsexpist** · 09-17-2007, 07:10 PM

If I can actually part with them and if you all have some green items to pay my winter propane bill!

**weO1bVp1** · 09-17-2007, 08:18 PM

I have some algae ridden premium LECA

It may be simpler to do a raised foundation/than to excavate for a slab or gravel, but then heating becomes more of an issue. Think drainage, R factor, materials, heat, etc. in your planning. I wish I had vacation time because I love construction and would love to help.

exciting adventure. Wish I had my own but I like that I don't have heating bills. It is bad enough heating the home and the office here in the northeast

Well, if it's any concillation to you both, this g.h. will be heated with propane for several reasons. My current g.h. is heated with natural gas and barely puts a blip on our overall bill. Propane is much more expensive so I may be very unhappily surprised come winter...but, more incentive to fill it up quick!

**VodsNittats** · 09-19-2007, 08:35 AM

How much do you actually have to heat it being in CA?
If natural gas barely puts a blip on our overall bill & propane is more expensive, then ..... I'm missing the reasons for using propane???

**shkarpet$** · 09-19-2007, 05:37 PM

True. Why mix the two when the gas line can ge added into the new house.

**adsexpist** · 09-19-2007, 07:01 PM

Yes, I've got my reasons. Another gasline can't be added. I'm not a complete idiot, folks.

**shkarpet$** · 09-19-2007, 07:53 PM

Local hot propane dealer?

Yeah, I'm kind of a landscape buff. I forgot to label the pond.

**kjsdiuwe** · 09-20-2007, 05:09 PM

Beautiful, best of luck with your new venture.

**shkarpet$** · 09-20-2007, 05:55 PM

Very nice. I hope the Propane bills dont kill your venture.

**adsexpist** · 09-20-2007, 08:28 PM

I'm looking forward to trying out at least one of my 4 flow table set-ups. They are currently taking up a lot of space in the garage. This garage photo isn't mine, it's the man who custom made them, but you can get a general idea of how large they are. They're 4' x 8'.

**shkarpet$** · 09-20-2007, 10:10 PM

Pretty fancy, but what holds the water in?

**adsexpist** · 09-20-2007, 10:17 PM

The black, plastic, hydroponic resevoirs shown in the above photo.
