Default My dream greenhouse

I have spent the better part of the last year getting my greenhouse built and set up.
About a month or so ago, I "moved in" and have been trying to get organized etc.
I finally got to taking some pics and posting them up on an album:

Enjoy!

PS. Start with the picture on the bottom and work your way up

Awesome set up, quite bright and airy looking. Plants are going to be very happy in their new home I think.

That is very nice!

Tell us more. Who did the design? Are the windows double pane and tempered glass?

It looks like you have a Dosmatic MiniDos mounted on the wall, are you using it?

Certainly!

We used Solar Innovations for the design and building.
We had to get a local HVAC contractor to work with them on the utilities. Another contractor/mason for the brick retaining wall and to cut the doorway and other "holes"
I decided on a Merlin r/o system (this is an "on-demand" system) after consulting with Ray Barkalow. We still have some issues with water pressure for the misting system and my husband is working them out.
I have the Dosmatic in the network for the misting system but have not begun to use it yet. I fully intend to use it when the misting is working...I will put a tube from the pump down below the bench where I will have a 5 gallon bucket of concentrated mix etc.
Right now, I have a hose for the r/o and water with pure r/o for flushing once every two weeks or so (most of the plants are in s/h).
Regular watering I use a spray container to which I put in the r/o water add Ray's mixture for r/o water.

The windows are glass, 1" insulated units. The roof has Low-E 240 and the walls have Low-E 272 and they are both clear tempered.
