Several water-filled fifty gallon containers will go a long way mediating temperatures inside the greenhouse. <br /><br />Just bring a half gallon of fresh water from the house for the expresso machine. Sunny days in winter it will warm up in there enough to have expresso and sit around -- or putter.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-16184407764345422472014-11-04T08:51:19.198-08:002014-11-04T08:51:19.198-08:00Oh my, there is a basement too?
