Greenhouse & Fish House Build thread

Hello all, 

Instead of putting all my photos in my intro thread, I decided to create a build thread for those who wish to "Go Big or Go Home" hehehe.. I am going to photo document as much as possible and give clear details to what we are doing and why.  Since this is our first time, I am sure there will be mistakes and changes along the way.  As the process continues, if anyone here has any "Improvement Ideas" or a better way of doing something you see we are about to do, please, please speak up and share!

I will start adding photos, some of which have already been posted, but should be part of this thread..

Take care, have a great Holiday Season!

    What material are you using on the roof?

    Looking awesome.  Roof looks like Polycarbonate.  Is that right?

    I just finished a book called Ball's Redbook that had some really great ideas for greenhouses.  Well written and extremely thorough.  You might enjoy paging through.

    The entire greenhouse will be covered in 8mm twin wall Poly Carbonate.  85Mph wind rating and 40 lb snow rating.

    Thanks for the reading tip Jeremiah..
