Just get out of the basement and park your jeep on driveway for winter"!!!

What ever happens, don't let your wife and my wife get together. It won't be just the figs that need to find a new home.

If you don't get sunlight in the garage, you might consider using panel insulation to help keep the heat in?

Of course, you could go the opposite direction and remove the garage door and cover it with sheets of plastic to let the light in. Wonder what she would think of that....might get you into more trouble. Hehe

Oh no no I have very strong lights for fig. Just need small green house

I'd try insulated panels or something like that since you are rely on lights.

The plastic on a green house outside is to let light in.

The insulated panels would keep the heat in.

Would she let you build a greenhouse in the basement to hold the humidity and garden smell in? Then you can park in the garage and any heat escaping still gets to reduce your home heating cost?

Michele che vuoi fare una serra senza sole??

[Taverna78 Vetern Member Fabio Find all posts View Profile Close Taverna78]

Effetto serra solo per tenere al caldo e l'umidità. Ho il sistema di illuminazione che crescerà alberi come avere sole. Ho solo bisogno di costruire abbastanza forte per reggere il sistema di illuminazione.

Cugino remember also. English is better because too many Italia dialect and English only one speech! Ahahaha! Although make me try harder to capise...😁

If you use plastic sheeting I recommend a thin sheet followed by at least 6mil. I use rope draping over the first sheet every few feet that will keep in more heat with air in between. Good luck
