It's a 6 foot by 8 foot greenhouse that I built myself (about 10 solid
days of work). There is a concrete footing, and the frame is done with
rough-cut redwood. I used a new type of corrugated polyethylene plastic
sheeting for the siding. It looks just like fiberglass, but is almost
clear and has higher light transmission.

There are potting benches on 3 sides:

In retrospect, I wish that I had more floor space for big potted plants.
The way it is built, it is optimized for lot's of small plants to sit
on the bench.

It's mostly done, except for the roof. Right now I've just got a
plastic tarp stapled on the roof to keep the squirrels out until I've
got time to get the fiberglass up.

If you'd like to come by and check it out, I'll be around most of this
weekend... I'd be fun to talk CP for awhile.
