hi, its been a long time, but i would love to see the pictures from your build! my HFGH just arrived today and I'm so excited to put it together without crying! Your profile on photobucket is set to private, would you mind sending me a link? thanks!

Recently we had a storm that broke two of our trellis off at ground level up rooted trees but NO damage to our 10x12 HFGH. This is the 4th season of growing plants from seeds in it and the panels show no sign of yellowing or deterioration. Only problem is with vent motor I have had trouble with electric vent motors being junk. I bought it from IGC.

Sounds like a very good way to go. I am going to be doing my foundation as a hybrid of the method sugested in the instructions. I will be excavating an the area for the greenhouse so the foundation can be sunk in the ground. Since the area I will be putting it in is slightly sloped, the door will probably be close to flush with the ground (or at least the pavers that will be going between the greenhouse and the patio. The back of the foundation may only be sunk about 3 inches (externaly, because I will be leaveling the ground inside the greenhouse). Electrical, water, and the drier venting will be routed underground, under the base frame. After setting up Gardenerwantabe's corner reinforcements, I will be sandwiching the foundation frame between two 2x4's and then buring the frame/foundation. I think that if I use this suggestion of mixing the cement with the soil, it should help to anchor the foundation. If the cement/soil mixture is not going to be water porous, then I might run a drainage pipe under the wall as well so that I will have a gravel covered drainage pipe running down the middle of the greenhouse. Now I just have to wait for the soil to dry out so I can till the ground to excavate. (It has been drizzling all day now, but at least it will make digging up the sprinkler head I have to cap, easier). I feel like I am building a celler for the greenhouse. Perhaps I should rent a Bobcat ;) it would take about an hour to dig out a 10x12 area to 5 inches

Ray, Your pictures are great! My DH and I saw the 10 x 12 GH for sale in the HF magazine for the first time today, so I've been reading this thread and others with much enthusiasm. How do you feel about your HFGH now? I was feeling discouraged after reading other posts, but after seeing your detailed pictures and instructions feel that we can tackle this and be quite satisfied.
