Chris, You might want to try the bubble wrap - it is very light in weight and inexpensive. I've only seen photos of your type of greenhouse, but don't think the solar pool cover would be a good idea. First, it's going to cost you about least half as much as your portable g'house; the lowest cost one I saw was, I think, around $80. Also, they are quite heavy and I don't know if your frame is built to carry that kind of load, especially if you get a late snow. So far as I know, everyone uses the "clear" type of solar pool cover (it's actually kind of cloudy-clear), so lets a good amount of light through. I don't know how cost-effective it might be in that type of structure, but if you get strong, cold winds predominantly from one direction, you could probably stand a sheet of rigid foam insulation inside that wall ... just don't block the sun from coming in your south-facing wall, and try to allow in what morning and afternoon sun you can. Hope this helps, and good luck with your peppers. Are you starting anything else? Diane

Have your friend put this on their local Craig's list, too!

Scenario: A rainy night in Georgia. "Dog" owns the best big dog house that money can buy. "Dog" needs to be trained how to use "her new dog house!" At this pivotal moment our family dog does not understand her new dog house at all! I truly believe she assumes that I purchased this dog house to annoy her. She looks at the dog house as if it were a giant germ. My family and I all have severe allergies, but fortunately we reside in the subtropical area of the US. So the weather is moderate throughout the year, which makes it wonderful for our pet. She is allowed to come in for a short period, but not for long. My mission is to apply a carry-kennel door to the entry door of her dog house, then put her in her new house and shut the kennel door. I plan to sit and talk to her to make her feel comfortable in her new house, then take her out after several minutes. But if she becomes bothered, I will try another day. I plan to work with her till she understands her new dog house is safe, and she becomes comfortable enough to go into her new dog house "by herself!" Got my fingers crossed! I'll let you know if my little experiment works in the weeks to come... And of course if she does good, I will give her a treat.

Thanks so much, everyone. JANET: I'm sorry about your Jackie also! I had a dream Boss returned also, it was such a happy dream! Then I woke up :( Can't explain the chicken groupies! Boss likes to chase cows, and my DH fears that may have led some neighbor to do him in. But none of them know anything, they say. Boss is half Great Pyrenees and half Border Collie. His mama Penelope is GP, and she is our third dog. We figured it's the BC part that likes to "herd" stuff. DH did say we got two calls today from the Swap Shop message he put on the radio, but they didn't pan out. Keep praying! Thanks!
