I think the worst part of the construction is the lack of Instructions. The manual really SUCKS. When I got mine their was no one to ask because no one here had one. Be prepared for a test of your patience. Last week we went from the upper 50's down to 5 degrees over night and they recorded 81-mph wind here and 106 mph just south of me. This was straight line wind it up rooted tress over turned 18 wheelers and ripped the roof off of several homes but my GH suffered NO damage. I was glad that I did my pool cover like I did it stayed on and had no damage either. I have lived in this home for 38 years and I don't think we ever had winds that strong. Today we plan on starting up the GH and start growing our flowers for next summer.

Aaron -- Thank you for the response, and I apologize for my delay in sending this.... The link was very helpful and set my mind at ease about the mushrooms. I have had a few more crop up since this post, and I am really enjoying them. They are rather pretty!

Your Jade is beautiful Mike, is this the first year that yours has bloomed? Mine bloomed for me last year for the first time. But I have not got anything this year. I read where they do not bloom every year in the beginning. So that may be the case. The pot my jade is in is 8 wide w/6 inch depth. The jade is about 23 inches this year. Stevi

Leafwatcher... When you take your photos, get back to the same distance you were in the first photo in your original post. They can always be zoomed in on, but if they're out of focus, we simply cannot see the detail needed. Even the macro setting has a minimum focus distance. It's often difficult to use the macro setting if you're trying to just work at arm's length.
