Because you may find the
RD elements more difficult to
insert, we recommend that you first
moisten the profile channels with
soapy water.

Yeah, mine hit 100 a couple weeks ago
My roof -sliding glass doors- slide open to allow heat to escape
With the door open it creates some nice ventilation

I've had a 4' wide solar water panel on the roof blocking a lot of sun
But I just moved that & I'm getting a lot more sun/heat now

Sure, I could make a steam room & charge people to use it
Good idea !!
I could have a whole therapy thing...swimming pool at 74, to warm hot tub @ 96, to hot tub 105, then steam room
Then jump back in the pool to cool off

Nice job on the greenhouse, Dean! Looks very nice. I'm sure stocking it won't be much of a problem, huh? So all the hard work is done!

Oh, I didn't mean to make a crack about the size of your greenhouse....just alluding to the fact that 'plant people' like us never have any issues filling up a greenhouse of any given size!

I know what you meant, Bryan. We are addicted.

Thanks, Tony, I already made a few shelves for just that.
