82 seperate steps!

nearly 300 individual pieces!

Several broken and missing parts!

Instructions that are plainly WRONG in places!

10 hours for 2 people--could have used 3!

It is no wonder that the 3 most feared words in any language are: 'Some Assembly Required...'2222640.jpg

Drafter and JHC-

It's 6'x8'--the hedge is about 8' tall (it's the opposite property line from the 'trashcan' pic).

This is Mrs. Chief's b-day present. She wants to grow something legal, like tomatoes. LOL!

The picture originally re-sized to 97.8kb, but 'Pic-Post' refused to accept it as being too large, so this re-size is about 58kb.

Gave an 8 x 12' one to my late wife last year for Mother's Day - she said it was the best present she ever got.

3 days, 3 boxes, much cursing and swearing - only one missing part out of thousands (if you count the little push pin fasteners).

Chief - do the calc's right if you heat it. I screwed up, and undersized the propane heater and tank for ours. $120/mo in propane for the most expensive tomatoes, limes and lemons. But it made her happy to be out there in Jan, snow on the ground, enveloped in citrus blossoms, orchids, and a bazillion seedlings.

I'm saddened to read that about your wife--my sincere condolences. Life can be entirely too brief and I believe it to be of first-order importance to enjoy it while we can, and take from it what gifts it may offer.

We don't intend to heat this greenhouse. Her primary goal is to grow gaddam tomatos, and this will only occur during the summer and fall.
