Wanted to share my little greenhouse project, part 1

Dear folks,

Just wanted to share some pictures from my project. (ps I am Dutch so dont mind my English)

I have a house in the southern Bahamas and well... the environment is pretty hard to grow things cause of heat, pest, bugs whatever.

Anyhow. I still believe that I can grow some starter veggies ( I am total beginner). I tried leaving my cukes outside and well... in 2 nights some bugs ate it almost all.

I build the house from scratch out of 2x4's and some polycarbonate sheets. I also build a evaporated cooler that has to be build in to the back wall. Now I have a screened window, but that is to small to give enough circulation.

few days before I had to return to the Netherlands I tested the system and the temp dropped from 105F - 85f (inside) I am not sure how this will hold in the summer when it gets real hot, but that is phase 2.

Next trip I will make this small 6x8 house foolproof with timers, and will start to experiment with some veggies.

Pray for me this will be a success and that the humidity wont mess things up.

tips are always welcome.

Thanks
Jorgen
