It's funny, I've got a couple reps from folks who I don't think are familiar with the journal. They said, Nice Greenhouse!!! lol... would be something to have 200 sq.ft. of grow space. Would give me a heart attack I think. 7 sq.ft does me alright.
About cost, wife's been keeping a tally, and I think the last figure was about $6,400 top to bottom, everything. We should get around $400 back on deposits and selling tools I don't need. Will most likely need to spend another bit on things I forgot. And that is NOT including electrical bits. I don't know the cost on that bit, but I would imagine another $1,000.
So when it's all said and done I think $8,000 is a safe bet. That $8k can sure sound a lot or a little. Sounds a lot when you think of simply the number. 8,000 is a lot of anything. That's at least 2 trips to Europe for me and the wife (and the babe). However.... when you consider what my mom just paid for a remodeled bathroom, it's really a tiny number. I think she ended up spending $15,000 to remodel a 30 sq.ft. bathroom. So compared to that.... it's a bargain of the highest degree. I will say... it's a lovely bathroom.
Now quit spending my inheritance lol. Just kidding mom. (yeah, both my mom and wife read my thread)
