Those are brilliant ideas! I don’t have electricity out to the greenhouse, but if I drop a hint NOW - I’m pretty sure I’ll get it eventually.

I mean, Beau IS an Electrician by trade! ;)

Well, they say necessity is the mother of invention. LOL I just needed more space. On the research and planning list for this summer is:

1. Cost benefit analysis of installing geothermal heat pump and possible retrofit of current HVAC system which is 44 years old.

2. Design of root cellar/basement with second level garden shed, with windows on south wall - just in case more grow space is needed.

3. Design of enclosed back porch with nearly floor to ceiling windows all around, and wood stove for some heat.

4. Back up power generator propane/gas, solar, and/or wind power to reduce electric bills.

Cost estimates and prioritize or omit projects based on estimates.
