I do like my GH but I have a major problem with condensation in the recesses of the inner wall. I resolved this problem for now by installing a sheet of plastic on ther inside. I have talked with Mike (at SunGlo, he's one of the owners) about installing acrylic on the inside. They make the inner panels themselves from sheet acrylic and this would work for me. I got around the height problem by building it up on a foundation wall. What you don't see is that the surrounding wall extends down as a "footing" with 6x6 at the corners and mid-points and clad with treated 2x8 inside and outside with a filler of 3.5" of styrofoam board and the floor is also insulated with 3" of the same stuff. I ran the gas/electric prior to constructing the walls. I am not as fortunate to be able to run water into the GH becasue of the distance from the house and the inability to insulate it from freezing. I, too, must use a pump sprayer to water. I got a 3 gal at a big box store and this has worked for me. I have the exhaust vent covered with bubble wrap and the fan thermostat set at 90 deg so it won't go on yet. Hopefully, spring will return soon and I can uncover the vent and reset things. Yes, I would have to run a long 12 gauge wire 15' for the 240v power source to have the heater at the other end and it would compromise the doorway. I handled this situation by adding an additional fan to circulate the heat from the heater(see pics). I also modified their board mounded system to use treated 1x6 attached to a 2x6 support. Then I added double circuits to the load center and used waterproof boxes for additional outlets and a "real" plug for the 240v heater. If you modify the heater plug, make sure you purchase a 240v because they make a 125v that looks the same. I also ran greenfield to the door end of the GH for the intake fan and overhead lighting because I don't use the grow light sent with the unit. Thanks for your comments about the GH. I'm sure yours work for you and is every bit as nice as mine.
