Alexandr, thank you for the explanation. Some big greenhouses use styrofoam here, too. I have seen very large blocks of styrofoam placed inside the walls of the greenhouse. Your roof looks very strong. I guess you must calculate snow load and build strong enough for that. No snow in southern California.

Charlie, I have nothing to add. All you write, is always in goal. So I will just post new photo  Grin

My building is almost finished for this year, I don't have new photo, but can tell some facts.

17/12/2012 (without heating)
Night outside minimum was 6.8F (-14'C), in greenhouse 33F (+0.5'C)
Day (at 11.00 am, it was a sunny morning) outside 8.6F (-13'C), in greenhouse 42.8F (+6'C)

PS I have temporary window and door, they almost don't keep warm.

A few weeks ago Cindy and I drove for an hour up onto a mountain to see 2 inches of snow on the ground. Nothing like the snow at your house - that is real snow!

Very nice Alexandr. Looks like you have a very efficient in-the-floor heating system this winter. The plants look very healthy and I see flowers, too.

Aleksandr your greenhouse is most impressive!  I would also say the number of plants you already have in there is very impressive as well with lots more room for more.  Congratulations on a job very well done!
