Thanks, If your married it could be a bad thing, as now I am finding my self in there for hours at a time, leaving my wife wondering where the heck I am lol. She actually said to me lastnight " Yes Dustin cacti are neat looking but how the heck can you spend hours on end looking at/inspecting them?" I responded "Im a cactiholic and thats what we do!" lol

My husband actually volunteered that we should either build or buy a green house for my cactus. But he wasn't joining in the obsession so much as protecting his investment. The suggestion came just after he tried to calculate the cost of all the cacti I've gotten!

Looks like a catalog picture! All so nice and clean! Grow, man Grow!

I still like to hang out in the greenhouse when it is raining outside and experince the shelter with the plants. -weird, I know!

I really enjoy being out in the rain, whether its gardening or fishin or whatever... Wait, why do I live here again?

I guess its because it is such a rare occurance, I dont know... just weird.

Welcome to the "just hangin out in the greenhouse" club there Dustin.

Boy, there should be a separate thread for "How to pacify/deflect/dispose of spouses or significant others who don't understand why you can never stop acquiring more cacti"

Dustin, I really am jealous, but happy for you. When I get a house with a yard I HAVE to get a greenhouse, too.

Do you mind me asking what I would expect to pay for something like what you have?

Congratulations to the greenhouse, it looks really great!

About hanging around in the GH, I like to spend a lot of time there on sundays, early in the morning, just looking at the plants or arranging them!

Btw.. the smell in a greenhouse, isn't it the best?

Regards
Alex

Cool I find it fun to hang out in there. To me the cacti look so much better in there. Guess its the added light.

hoven5th the one I got was on sale and still is. It was $799, with NO tax and NO shipping charge. The wood and ground stakes for the foundation was $35, the silicon sealent was $20, and the rock was $38 for a grand total of $892 totaly completed.

Thanks. So, less than $900. That's not an insignificant amount of money, but well worth it in the long run, I'm sure.

Then you quickly move to this and start filling.

The rest of the space is filled with my orchid collection and other exotics.
