Anyways, my question is for those who have had someone run the electricity and plumbing to your greenhouse in the construction phase of it, how much was it to have this done? Just looking for a ball park is all. I'm trying to get an idea of what the overall price would be to have the electricity and plumbing done professionaly and a good quality greenhouse versus adding a sunroom onto a house and just tying into the existing heating and plumbing system. If anyone has any info or can direct me on where to start my research or on how to start it I would greatly appreciated.
Also, what is or does the R -value stand for with the insulation?

Becca, when I built my greenhouse, I hired a guy with a back-hoe to dig me a trench 5 feet deep by the 125 feet from the side of my house (where the utilities would run through the wall) the the GH foundation. The water line (1" PE pipe) and electricity were in the bottom. As I completed those, he back-filled about 1 foot in the trench behind me, and when I had completed those, I ran the gas line (1/2" copper tubing) in the now-4' deep trench, and he followed-up and filled that. The whole thing took 4 hours and cost $300.
