For the 2nd time this decade :cool:

Jokes aside, I'm working on rejoining my previous company. Hope it works out. I can financially sustain being jobless but I'm really bored right now. :D
Ballin'!

Good luck, sir!

Das right.

I think the intentions are good but he's one of them whose been here 20 years and clearly has risen to his level of incompetence.
Just enough over his head so he can drown with everyone around him.

One of my former managers typed using only his two index fingers.
For a moment I thought you were going to sat he typed using only his two bimbo secretaries.

Ordered a massive greenhouse from Belgium. Arrived in port this week down in Texas, hopefully will be delivered soon. Can't wait.

Does anyone here use a greenhouse? I bough a couple small cheap ones from Amazon, they worked well so decide to buy a huge one for the backyard and try to grow all season long.


Does anyone care? probably not LOL

How big is massive? And why have you had to buy something like that from Belgium lol, there must be places in the US that make them?

I've had all sorts of greenhouses and growhouses over the years, but generally a proper glass frame greenhouse is better than plastic or even polycarbonate (imo) - the latter tends to either tear or become darker and less effective. The downside to glass being the obvious, especially if you have children or idiots living near you. Most have toughened glass now. Some like polycarbonate, but unless you pay for expensive clear polycarbonate models they tend to be slightly frosted so they keep heat in but less light gets in.

Really depends what your climate is like. If winters (and nights) are cold and spring/autumn a chance of being less than mild then hook up an electric fan heater - gas heaters tend to create damper air, which may or may not suit what you are growing.

I wanted something that looked reasonably nice (Victorian style). Distributers sell them here in the US but they order them from Belgium. Belgian made, US Sold lol.

It's easy to get those half circle tunnel ones but not a fan of those, my goal is to be able to sit in there and have coffee, grow some "vegetables", citrus, etc.

We got glass, I think it will serve us better in winter as it warms up more quickly and no kids other than my kids at the moment but they will know they will get destroyed if they break something. Virginia has really warm/humid summers and can be warm up to October and winters can have a couple weeks in single digits but not often, usually in 20-30's F. I will probably install a small electric heater similar to what one would put in a garage, etc.

I tried last year with painting wrap (what they use to tape off rooms before they spray paint lol)


was a disaster. wised up this year to try it for something that would fit on my porch. It's actually quite relaxing. I also tilled up about 240 square feet of my hard and made a nice garden. I have almost 30 pepper plants and half as many tomato plants. I'm going to be handing veggies out to the neighborhood, I totally overdid it :lol:

In the UK we'd call that a conservatory, or maybe a solarium, if you're using it as an external living area. Almost pointless somewhere warmer.

But by the sound of it Cam wants it as an orangery. To me that is more than a greenhouse.
I think so too. Here we use the terms solarium/conservatories too, but they are part of the house , like an extension to the living room but covered in windows. This will be outside in the backyard not attached to the house.
