North side of green house is just an insulated garden shed. South side is slanted ribbed clear plastic to let in a lot of sunshine in the winter |

Winter of 2001 was very busy doing the sheetrock on our new house -- yes we were building it ourselves |
2001 we still lived in the Candominium adjacent to the new house. We moved in in later in the summer. The new house is almost finished 12 years later ;-) |
