[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 240972, member: 13649"] Interesting idea, but probably not cost effective. You'd need steel frameworks to hold moderately thick greenhouse glass around a very large area. Anything less would fall apart during the first major storm. You wouldn't want that coming crashing down on you. I've been toying with the idea of putting a cabin on some family land I inherited awhlie back. To make it practical for semi or maybe fully off grid, I keep coming back to thick wall studs filled with closed cell spray foam. As an example, maybe that cabin in the picture can have it's interior gutted, spray foamed, put new interior wall coverings over it, and then replace the windows with casement windows. Casements aren't too hard to DIY build and are far superior for keeping drafts out than the traditional sliding windows. All this still involves some cost, but it would be cheaper than the greenhouse. I think you have experience already with the other stuff needed to survive winter. ...so you're really moving to Mars??? :-O [/QUOTE]
