"I did not waste my money on mail order junk..." "It may be fine out in the country, and that's all well and good for those of you who can have them ... you can certainly have more greenhouse space for less money than I can ... but in some settings, frankly, it just doesn't fly." Judgmental! Lets look at post from others that own the HFGH. ________________________________________________- CONCERNING HFGH PARTS: "gardenerwantabe (My Page) on Fri, Sep 22, 06 at 8:45 Yea the price is what suckered me into buying them. Now I get to throw away these worthless P.O.S. and buy some good ones." _______________________________________________ CONCERNING MODIFICATIONS TO HFGH: "by gardenerwantabe (My Page) on Fri, Sep 22, 06 at 18:58 Molly Did you read the posts on this forum about the modifications that is required to make the 10x12 HFGH survive in a thunderstorm. If you don't do these mods you will lose it." ___________________________________________________ LET"S LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER AT JUDGEMENTAL SHALL WE: "by gardenerwantabe (My Page) on Sun, Sep 24, 06 at 17:10 I hate to bust your bubble but a hoop house covered with the plastic is nowhere near as strong or durable as polycarbonate. The wind will tear it and the sun will destroy it in two or three years. Replacing the plastic film is a never ending job and you will soon spend more than what it would have cost to buy a GH with polycarbonate panels. All you got to do to convince yourself of this is look at the warranty on both types." ________________________________________________ AND: "by gardenerwantabe (My Page) on Mon, Sep 25, 06 at 13:44 Please share with us where you bought this miracle plastic. What is the name of the manufacture. I'm sure people would like to know where they can find a plastic that will last 4 times longer than anything else on the market." __________________________________________________ A beautiful thing that requires so much modification to keep it intact, and parts that are (to borrow a quote from another post) "POS" are not only in my opinion junk, the Wall Street Journal thinks so also. You will find the link to their story in a earlier post above. Everyone should read it. Yes, some would not find a hoophouse an aesthetic contribution, but many do. They are also featured on television home improvement shows in surburan settings in back yards of 200,000.00 homes, and look quite good there. LASTLY LETS LOOK CLOSER AT AN EARLIER POST OF MINE: "Best of luck to you. Bottom line is enjoying our greenhouses, isn't that right." This forum should be named "SUPPORT YOUR HFGH" Postive, comments welcome: Negetive, comments go elsewhere. WILL DO SO GLADLY

Yeah...I'm really kicking myself today for not turning my camera around and getting the women's pic as she's slamming her fist on the steering wheel...ROFL...when the thing finally did pull off...she passed me like I was standing still...guess she really had to be somewhere... I was impressed at how fast he was going...i mean when he had a straight shot, he was really booking...but had to slow down so many times because of signs...mailboxes...etc., It certainly was a sight to see! My MIL bought her house that she had rented from Colonial Williamsburg in 1988...they decided they were gonna tear it down and level the lot...so she had worked for them for 25 years at the point and knew the right people to ask...she bought it for one dollar and moved it a block up...a block over and a block back down...cost her 30,000 to move it, but when she finally had all the work done it appraised for a nice penny so definitely worth the trouble...She didn't remove a thing from the house...the pictures on the wall or nothing...I couldn't believe the great job they did!

Daisy, Aunt Barbara was a WAC. She is very proud of that. I do love her dearly. I've been playing around with The Gimp (it's similar to Photoshop) and fixed that photo of my aunt and the one in the back of my mother. I threw them in the bookcase Thursday night when I was rushing around. I also have one of my father who was an Sargent in the Army in the China Burma India Theater. I miss him terribly. I am sorry about the loss of your stepmom. You can hyjack my thread any time you want. :) Parma the legs in #1 are kinda weird. I just wanted to see what the two looked like posted together. :)

Oh thank you everyone for your kind/generous words. I didnâÂÂt mean to tease with just 1 picture, but I am sure that I would have gotten more posts asking for at least 1 picture. ï The picture was taken by my friendâÂÂs phone for whom I was making dinner (shrimp/marinated artichoke hearts in a garlic/capers/white wine sauce). Enjoying the nice company and good glass of wine = nice big smile. Dbfirewife/taggie/aktillery/kksmama/deedles: about the sconces: - need to give AOKATâÂÂs a shoutout for the inspiration from her beautiful kitchen) - Ugh: Thank you, and yes, I do love those sconces âÂÂlike those lights were created specifically for your counters and cabinetsâÂÂ. BUT I will never get them again. The quality control of these sconces was horrific. I had to go through 9-10 sconces to get these 4 because they were so incredibly flawed. I think that is why they no longer sell them. LampsPlus were ok w/ the returns etc. Williamsem: Handle in the front = much less splashing. âÂÂmakes me smile and think of GWâÂÂ: oh, I have so many things to be thankful for with Gardenweb. Everyone has been AMAZING!!! Olbat2be: ThatâÂÂs why: YES, my offer for a tour for anyone nearby is definitely open. I will PM you and we can set it up. âÂÂfriend had no interest in the tourâÂÂ: FUNNY! I get rather taken back also when my friends (who have not seen the kitchen) just say âÂÂNiceâÂÂ, and then move onto enjoying their drink or sitting down and start yakking about a blouse they just purchased or something. Like that blouse is important?!?! What about my use of my 4â filler (for my cutting board)? Or what about how my beloved Vitamix easily slides away when IâÂÂm done w/ it? DonâÂÂt you want to know about my spice jars? HAHHAHHAHAAA. Bookworm: pulls = Ikea Varde, w/out the little round âÂÂrosetteâÂÂ. I wanted something simple, quiet, and doesnâÂÂt catch on my clothing, so these were perfect for us. Now finding the right crystal knobs for my only 5 upper cabinets are another thing. Oy! Again, thank you very much: for the compliments and mostly, for all your help in so many things. IâÂÂve learned so much from GW. My kitchen would have never been as fantastic if it werenâÂÂt for GW. I often feel bad for people who discovered GW late in their renovation/design process. IâÂÂve been on GW for ?7years, so when we started down this road for this kitchen/renovation, I was ready. I had my tools/know-how ready to go. And if I didnâÂÂt, I knew where to ask! ï Amanda
