Slow Progress

Making slow progress in the greenhouse.  Quite a bit of distraction over the holidays, but Burr has been helping in the meantime.  You can see the pavers that he laid out for the walking areas and the cinder block supports for the grow beds.
We have had some snow fall over the holidays as well.  With the new HVAC system (see below) I have kept the indoor temperature at a constant 50 degrees F.
This is the 95% efficient furnace that has just been installed in the upstairs of the building.  We have set it up with three damper controls that can open or close the amount of air going to each zone, upstairs, downstairs and greenhouse.
The heater was just in time for the winter snow!

Without the heater, do you know what kind of GH temps you were getting, during the low and high of a cold day?

That HVAC is sweet, you're really doing it up right.

Rich, in the summer I was getting up to 115F. Not sure about the lows but I'm sure it would get below freezing. We can set the thermostat higher when we are there and it gets toasty.
