Don’t forget to put some screen vents in that you can open when it gets to hot..

Don't want to paint the back wall black to help heat it up in early spring when the nights still get cold? Or put in tubes with water as heat batteries? Or use some solar passive designs to maintain heat?

I'm going to put a cute little wood stove in , water catchment, and who know what else?!

nice!

I guess you don't yet have too many wood burning things to feed. For me I'm trying to do as little new ones as possible since I already need lots of firewood for the house and shop.

Also it helps that you're there all the time and can tend to it.

I wish I didn't have to leave here LOL

I look forward to finally starting building my greenhouse ...eventually HAHA

Good job, hope to see some photos when you are done with the greenhouse. Better yet, would be great if you could compile a video (Facebook Reel).

Thanks!

Absolutely, I've been taking little clips to compile once it's done!

I definitely understand the garden frustrations! While I'm not on a mountain, the growing season where I am is so short I feel like I barely have time to get things going before frost might kill it!

Nice greenhouse! Thanks for your inspiring and ambitiously exhausting updates ( so much work!). Here in Utah your 5000' would be somewhat low but like our 7 or 8000'.
