I’m a retired teacher, and lately I have been getting into growing and selling cut flowers in my small northern Michigan community.
One little detail — I call this ThinMan’s blog because I use that name a lot in some online forums. My username here is thinmac because thinman was taken. Either way is OK, though, since I am both a thin man and a thin mac ( a little scottish ancestry here).

How is your green house doing at night with cooler temps? I am pondering a greenhouse for my back yard and looking at different options and wondering about how it will do in the winters(Portland, OR area here). We don’t get much sun so I am wondering if I need an electric heater.
Nice green house you built there! Definitely gives me ideas.

Thanks, Hans. I don’t use the greenhouse in the dead of winter, but if I did, I would definitely expect a need for a heater. I have a hundred gallons or so of water in buckets inside, and if the day has been sunny, the temp inside seems to stay above freezing when outside temps get down into the mid to high twenties. That pretty much covers the conditions I get in early April when I start using the greenhouse.

Pronto – I’m afraid that your problem requires more engineering skills than I have. Sorry I can’t help.
