Mike Jay wrote:You may want to consider not having windows on the North side. Typically you'll lose more light out the north side than you'll gain. All winter for sure. So you could insulate that side instead and keep it a bit warmer. Just a thought.
I'd only earth berm it if you designed the wall to handle that kind of pressure from the side.

If it's glavanized and painted steel roofing (like they sell at Menards) they say it voids the warrantee to cut it this way. Something about how it burns the paint and allows the edge to rust quicker. It will definitely cut it quickly though and in your drier climate, maybe it wouldn't be a problem.

Any plans to insulate the wall or floor?
I really want to make cardboard insulation work in my greenhouse, but foam is cheep,sometimes free, and water resistant.
