My Greenhouse.

The first 3 pics, are my first outside greenhouse, its too small and crowded.

The 2nd one is 14' wide by 28' long, which is the right size, plenty of room. I next will install lighting at the top, poles for the hanging baskets on the ceiling, and two natural gas heaters, one on each end. There is a walkway going down the middle, of marble stones. The base is a foot thick of granite gravel. The plants will sit on this so I can water them with a hose. When my back heals, I'll drag the plants into the new house. The afternoon sun heats it up in there well and it will produce a jungle effect which my orchids should do well in. I put in a doggie door for JR. He thinks its great and is using it as his private toilet. He walks in there, takes a gaint poop when it's raining and stays dry. I was concerned about one of the dogs getting left in there by accident and then clawing a hole in the plastic to get out. Jake, clawed and ate a hole in our bedroom door to escape once. Bee Bee now uses it as her doogie door when that door is shut.

When Abbey was a pup and took her out on her first gig, when we were doing the rehearsals for the Ripley's believe it or not show. She did not do well, she was too young and was spasming all over the place, so I wanted to get her out of the sight of the other dogs. I realized she was too young and I had lost all control over her, and the mgr said, just put her in my office and shut the door. That was the mistake of the century, 30 minutes later, she comes running up to me and I went, how in the hell did that dog get out. Never under estimate what a dog can do if he want's out bad enough. They will dig all day long, to get out under a fence.

I opened his closed door, and she has shit on his rug I swear in 10 places, the dog went into a shit frenzy, then clawed and ate a hole through two layers of Sheetrock and got into the bathroom, then clawed and ate through 2 layers of Sheetrock to get out into the main warehouse to come find me. When I came upon this site of destruction, I damn near fainted.

Abbey grew up and then had perfect performances and filmed a great TV show, then disaster struck. She was slated to take over as my main show dog. She was great, smart, she had it all.
One day walking with me in the yard, a wasp flew at her and she grabbed it out of the air in her mouth, and it stung her, and you know those bad boys hurt like hell. It ruined the dog and I retired her. Every time she was doing a show and a fly buzzed by, she would go ape, watching it and the show would be over. I could not break her of it. She had laid around for 8 years eating like a pig having the time of her life. We call her, Big Bertha. She is about 20 lbs overweight, and looks like 2 lbs of shit in a 1 pound bag.

She is the brindle dog, brown, an East Tennessee Mountain Cur.

I think it is great that you honored JR by renaming Nitro JR II.

Great looking greenhouse, I would have to have a couple of tomato plants stuck in there somewhere.

Yo, that just dawned on me, it heats up from the sun real nice during the day, running about 20 to 25 degrees above outside temps with out any heat. Nor do I need any lighting. But I want to do it right, and plan to hang 5 shop lights from the top center, and 2 natural gas heaters on both ends on thermostats, so at night, when it goes down to the 20's which is does now and then, everything inside will be safe. Since this is going to be a real true commercial greenhouse, I could grow anything I choose to all winter long. My Hibiscus are blooming now. I still have lots of red tomatoes out on my vines and its been running in the 60's and 70's here.
We don't harvest the tomatoes this time of year, because they have a funny taste. They do best at 85 degrees with lots of sun. When the sun gets less and the temps fall, the taste of them goes south fast.

A lot of work has gone into it so far, I moved an entire dump trunk of gravel from the front street to the back yard to make the bed, I was on a slight slope and the gravel leveled it out. The bed is about a foot thick. That was 13 tons I think.

Every year, after thanksgiving, the temps plummet. It will be 67 today. I like to sit out in it, when its raining, and I have my lunch out there, and my 5pm first drink. It's nice and cozy, its right now, 82 and its like sitting out side, but no cold breezes and no chills. Its being used as my sun room. I know my orchids are going to go wild there. It holds a high humidity and is 60 now, when the plants go in, and I begin spraying them with the water hose, it will climb up.

Today I put in lights across the top, 5 shop lights, each 2 lights, so I can light it up at night. I also put two electrical heaters on each end. I plan to replace them soon, with natural gas heaters, which will be cheaper to run.

I am going to lay a cement cover over all of the gravel, then lay a floor of marble, I bought a entire pallet which is enough to do the entire floor, and the paths coming in and out. What I got is a marble like 18x18" plates called Nebula Travertine from Turkey. It's a light brown with nice wavy patterns to it.

Turkey is a major source of marble and I have played on their marble slates for 3-c, damn nice stuff.

We have a natural gas heater now installed, 30,000 btu's, and the plants moved in, and the ceiling is now covered with lights. 25' of lights.

Next is to set the Marble slates into a bed of concrete.

I sealed this bad boy up so well, my monitors are telling me I am having humidity running from 70 to 100%. The entire sides and ceilings fill with water droplets and it begins to drip, or rain inside. Once I realized this, I had to put the entire electrical system in as being outdoors, but actually indoors, in conduit, water proof outlets turned upside down, and I sealed the backs of the light fixtures so water could not drip in and short out the ballasts.

My main natural gas heater, has 30K BTU, and it was eating up all the oxygen inside, and new safety features was shutting off the unit and pilot light. I had no fresh air flow coming in. I had to run a duct from the outside to under the unit to get it to stay on. It is like being in the jungle rain forest inside this thing, which means my tropical plants and orchids are going to love what I have done for them. I have a smaller electrical heater at the other end, I only turn on if I am sitting at my desk down there and want to be warm and toasty. Some of these tropical s are in large pots and I have had since 1973. They have been a part of my life and surroundings for a long time.

All is left, is to lay the cement slab, and install the marble floor I have bought. No rush on that. There is a lot of peace and serenity sitting in one of these, I put a buffet CD on and listen to the steel drums and dream of the Caribbean. Banana wind will do just find.

Sun on my buns, sand in my toes, I walk over and pick off a hibiscus and put in behind my ear and dream of sailing into St John's bay. I slug down a Johnny Walker black, here's lookin at you kid.

12-9-09 a few more pics, click to enlarge them. #3 is two Nautilus shells made into bookends. #8 is spanish moss. No that is not pot growing next to it. No I will not sell you any. I don't smoke anything, or do any illegal drugs. #9 is a red Hibiscus now blooming.

This thing is becoming like a boat, a hole in the ground you keep shoving money into.

My lowes $240 natural gas heater, we ran a natural gas line and underground electrical cable out to it, it did not work, then we vented it with air from the bottom. It has a sensor that when it detects the oxygen getting low, its shuts down and turns off the pilot light. Thanks for telling me that lowes......

I had to pop close to $700 for a commercial vented unit which is going in today which is 67 outside and 84 inside without heat. I have been running small electric heaters but its going down into the 20's at night and I need something big time to get me throught the rest of the winter, which will only be 6 more weeks. Then we begin going into early Spring. Our winter is Thanksgiving day, to Feb 1st.

Holy cow, this commercial heater went close to $800. First pic, click to enlarge is the outside view where we bring in air and vent out burnt gases.
2nd pic is an inside view, it puts out 18,000 btu vented. 3rd pic is my greenhouse Xmas tree. It's small, but pretty with a ficus tree in the background. I also have an orange tree which puts off fruit in the winter, it's very tart, and excellent for my frozen Margaritta's. I have a key lime tree as well, of course. I use oranges and limes in the drink. Nothing like picking them off your own trees.

Nice Christmas tree. I'm glad you vented the greenhouse, I knew someone who died of CO poisoning from sleeping in a partially-constructed house with a faulty furnace.

I bet your blood pressure drops when you walk into the greenhouse and smell the plants and flowers.

Yes, I love to drink some tea out there at 4, and have a drink at 5. I am outdoors, even in the 20 degree cold, nice and warm. The dogs think its cool too. Sitting outdoors, being able to see the trees, the rain or snow coming down, and being warm is so nice. Seeing my Orchids and hibiscus bloom. Yes.

The 2nd heater I put in, the guy who chose it, made a mistake. It is not holding 55-60 in mid 20's. It is 18K btu, I am told I need a minimum of 27K, so I ordered in a 32K unit which arrives next week and we will change them out. The one I have blows straight up and does not have a real blower fan. The one coming, will. Damn, I thought this was going to be simple, trying to get this right, is a complicated situation. The Xmas tree is not cut, but in a pot, I have two of them growing, one green, the other blue/green.

I have a Norfolk pine, actually about 3 in one huge pot, that is 7' tall now, and that is the one that I decorate every year.

Heat rises so if the old heater is pointing straight up, all the warm air is going "To Da Moon".

Yo, its warm up dare on da moon. My friggen ceiling is real toasy. Da bugs in da hanging baskets think they are in Miami.
Yep, I know, when he put that turkey in, I told him it would never work. I put a window fan, sitting behind it, on top of it, to blow the hot air forward. It's a temporary fix until I can get it outta there. I have a window fan on the other end blowing air back at it 28' away, trying to get some air circulating and to cut down on the condensation on the walls and ceiling which are covered with water drops. The fans are keeping that down now. It's my brother in law doing the install, and I don't call him numb nuts for nuttin?
No wonder, I have a drinking problem. I am surrounded by bozos. Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to my right?

I just put in 6 more Orchids, that puts me up to 40, and about 30 different varieties. No room for any more. I bought a big Xmas tree that's alive in a pot, I plan to grow it to 8' in there, and then plant it in the yard.

I bought a bonsai tree. I had one last year, would adress it Domo arigato, babied it, clipped on it like Mister Miyagi. Kept it in semi sun, it got water every day and the damn thing still died on me. It was very expensive and most beautiful. I was a blow, I never understood, what went wrong. I'll try it again. Maybe it likes, neglict. I'll call it a Nip and water it once a week. Orchids, Bonsai's, you got to know your shit when you go there. John Quincy Adams, Thomas Jefferson, many presidents had lovely greenhouses they spent a great deal of their final years in, where they found solice, quiet and privacy. Mine is quite simple to these grand ones, but my little room and a half, 350 sq ft, is my private jungle in the winter.

Yes, I once caught a fly with my chop sticks, beginners luck, never tried to do it again. We have some flies here which are big, fat, and slow as hell. I am fast, can catch a mosquito in my hands, and they can fly at 35 mph.

I used to think Quinton Tarantino was a sick fook queer fag obsessed with blood and death like Truman Capote. I understoon pulp fiction, but it was disjointed and stupid in places, but I was drawn to it for reasons I could not explain. Then he did Kill Bill, holy shit, the little ass hole scored a master piece. For a fight piece, a fight to the death, how can you top this classic. I have those two, I & II, in my top 20 of all time. I still think he is a sick fook fag. Talk about old school, both pull out your honzo swords and go at it.

And of course, soon, in a couple of years, we will have, Kill Bill 3 & 4. God I am beginning to love, this sick fook?

While there was no real Hatori Honzo making swords for Bill, real ancient swords can command any where from 15K up to 200K.

Finally, I got this fookin heater solved, and none too soon, its 25, and 72 inside the greenhouse.

Note the doublewall vent on the outside, and the new unit hangs from the Ceiling, and has a real blower that goes out and down and pushs air to the end.
32K Btu, before I had 16 and no fan blower. Its a modine hot dawg. Works great, priced right. If you need something for your garage consider one of these.

You will see pics of my pet squirrell bozo. He loves sunflower seeds. I slipped him one of Yo Sarahs Xmas wallnuts. Bozo likes me. Bozo will take a nut out of my hand, I bribe him with my pistachios.

Plus I have a digital thermostat, so I can set any exact temp I want and it will maintain it, using natural gas. click the pics to enlarge them.

Dude, I need to turn you in to da humane society and they put you on their terrorist watch list. Me blow away whittle bozo, no way, no how, unless I got hungry?

If they get into your attic, they can drive you beserk. Now and then, one gets stuck in a drain. They can be so smart, and then, triple dumb, like you are driving down the road, they look up and see you, and run in circles. I used to trap and keep chipmunks in cages when I was a kid. I moved up in the world and caught a little Racoon, and one day, he got big and fat and damn near took off my finger. That is when I learned, some things, you do not cage up. My back yard, is a cage, as long as there is food, they are mine. They ain't goin, no where.

I have 9 that I feed every day on tables. Plus a nice tribe of chipmunks. They all eat like pigs and are fat and happy.
It all began several years ago, when I began to hang feeders and a squirrel I named Sh, she-yit head, kept climbing down and would empty it on the ground. I tried everything to defeat him, and failed. I would grease the wire, and he ran around with a greased up belly and could come down that wire at warp 7 and grab and hang on to that feeder. It then, became serious, my intellect against his. And finally, I kissed canvus, went belly up and realized I was dealing with a superior being that had flat kicked my butt. My 152 IQ against his 200 IQ was no match.

No I did not pull out my double barrel 10 ga, I paid tribute to him, and to now, his decendants by feeding them. I later did figure out how to beat him, I ran a wire across the yard from big tree to big tree, real tight. On each end of the wire, I put 4 of these real big plastic coke bottles, so when you get on one, they turn and off you go. That worked for all the normal fookin squirrels, and yes, one day, I watched SH, leap over all 4 bottles like fookin Evil Kenevil and hit that wire and run down it like Wallenda and plopped in my feeder and began chowin down. He sneared at me, like, hu da squirrel now.

So I put out two large tables, and fill them with bird seed and sunflower seeds and I feed the birds and squirrels together. Once the squirrels get their fill, then my 10 cardinals come in, then my 8 blue jays, they feed in a flock, my 12 doves, boo coo chicadees and other little birds are all moochin off me all winter long. They all found fat city, when they found this big chump. I buy 3 forty pound bags of bird seed and a huge bag of sunflower seeds at a time.

It also gives the dogs exercise, they run out the doggie door and tree the squirrels, and that goes on, over and over all day long. Jacks, were born for combat and to hunt, and if they don't hunt and try to kill something every hour on the hour, they get weird. Anything they see with a fury tail, they see as prey. Yo Sarah thinks I am dumb blowin that dough on yard critters. Yep, she's right as usual.

One little piece of advice, if some lady tries to sell you a squirrel, buy the little bugger and move on. Getting Bates to play this role, was genius. And remember, any one who is feeding and keeping squirrels as pets, may not be playing with a full deck Holmes.

I got that newer bigger heater in, just in time. It's 16 outside, I am setting it at 65 inside and holding about 60 at night, about 72 during the day and this is about as cold as it is ever going to get here. In the early afternoon, if the sun comes out, it will jump up immediately from 72 to 85 in the back where my chair and table is. It is so nice, the sun bakes on your head just like a summer day, its warm and 85, I can see the birds and trees, toss the ball for JR to chase and sit out there and eat my meals. Its being outdoors, year round and comfortable. I toss a Jimmy Buffett CD on and dream I am in the Islands.

I interviewed nothing but champion class Jacks for a week, after Jr died. All of them were $600 to 800 dogs. The key thing I was looking for, was Iq, enthusiasm, and the ability to chase a ball and never wear out. Papers do not mean squat to me. Most of them, were duds. And finally, I got a rescue dog nobody wanted and every one passed by for a year while this little pup languished in a cage. I saw something nobody else saw. They saw a dog that was nuts, beserk, and I saw, my boy. I went out to my greenhouse and tossed a ball 30' down for 2 hours and he ran and brought it back. I would assume he would do that until he would drop. That is what a real fookin Jack is like. You can't wear one out. This I find very enjoyable, entertaining, playing with my little dog, just he and me, seeing him get this much enjoyment and exercise. No TV, no fookin internet, just he and me, in a greenhouse. He chose to come out and play with me. He jumps up on my lap and kisses my nose. I find them to be, the ultimate dog.

I have never had one desk, I always had a main desk, and one extra desk to the right and left. I like to have space to spread shit out. I like a desk also I can stand up to in front of a window. Lots of tables to lay stuff out on. I have always had a very large office. Over time I have picked up a few rocks on my travels and used them mostly for paper weights. I would guess my favorites are the coconuts with the crystals on the inside and petrified wood. I have a couple of pieces that are 35 and 40 lbs and you will find this stuff is a little pricey in the gift shops in Arizona when you get above a golf ball size. I have one piece I keep outside in a secure place that is a log of pertified wood, Its about 2' long and heavy as hell at about 250 lbs. Don't ask me how it got in my trunk, I don't know, nut zing. I guess, I could become a rock hound. I like, pretty rocks. The petrified forest has always been a sacred and mystical place for me, I never pass it buy without spending time there. The spirts are thick in this place.

I have a curb all along the front of my house, of 50 lb large hunks of white marble I have found in the woods hunting over the years. You find this stuff back in, further than a mile from the main road and further than people can carry it out.

Here are a few rocks I have put in my greenhouse from my collection, I have more all over the back yard.
