I don’t know anyone out here, I’m just gonna buy the 350ft spool of 12 gauge thhn 3 wire(black white green) for $220 and the 100 foot of 3/4" flex conduit for $80 and just run 3 sets of wires in it to the greenhouse, I think my measurements put me at around 85-90 total feet from my junction box so should do the job

I thought when I saw the pictures - this is twice the size of last time. The earlier ones with the tape measures, I thought you were going to move the old structure TO that location, not grow the old structure that far 
Fantastic man, happy for 'ya!
I’m not an electrician or familiar with those codes, but a general rule of thumb is that having two bundled wires of x size is about AWG-2. In the case of 3 sets that actually looks like you’ll wind up in the bigger than 8AWG but smaller than 7AWG.

3 sets, 3 breakers, 3 individual outlets lol still gonna stay 12ga on each, breakers are 20 amp and GFI outlets are 15amp, all I’m doing is putting em in the same conduit

Do you run lights for seedlings and veg? Do you use a swamp cooler to move air and add humidity?

No lights, just let nature do it’s thing. I use the swamp cooler as needed when temps start to get above 90 in there, a 75 degree day can easily cause that from greenhouse effect if direct sun beating on it. Never paid attention to humidity to be honest

Hopefully an electric circular saw. Can you imagine building w an old school back-and-forth hand saw? I admire the Quakers, but that’s crazy hard work.

Yup, a brand new skil, got it on special for 50 dolla and made me holla hahah
Nice thing I figured out today is on the back of the storage shed here there was this shitty sub panel
Well since I had a nice new panel from the original build and since the wires were nice and beefy and in great shape on that shitty panel I installed mine and hooked it up inside on the main and bam I got safe power to the backyard now, kinda wish I wouldve figured this out before I got so far into the build cuz I might have shifted the greenhouse closer to it but it’s to heavy to move now
Now I got a GFCI outlet underneath the box too

Other than raising the end wall that you see, I built this ~800sf two story cabin by myself using only hand tools. I had been working on it for about 5 weeks at this point. Keep your saws sharp. I was a residential carpenter and remodeler for years, and I’ll tell you, it’s really not that much harder than using power tools. It is more time consuming, but honestly it’s also far more satisfying. Or at least I found that to be the case.
I hadn’t thought about it in years, but one of the things I liked most was that I could hear the birds singing for virtually the entire day. And early morning/late evening there would often be deer grazing in the pasture not far from where I was working. In general, the noise of power tools was the single thing I liked least about being a carpenter, and here it didn’t exist.
I thought I had a picture of the cabin finished but I’m not seeing it at the moment. The building is 16x32 with a large second story loft. What’s not there yet is a 6x10 mud room addition on the end, and a covered washroom where you see the floor joists running ragged at the far end of the building. Obviously, doors weren’t hung yet and the interior wasn’t finished.
It was the single most satisfying thing I ever did. An old friend has lived there for the past 30+ years.
Honestly, if I did it, it wasn’t all that difficult!

Very nice! I’d be in heaven to live there. You’re right it is time consuming but satisfying. Doing good quality carpentry.

In dollars, it cost a total of $1,500. It was the sweat equity that was the real “cost.” I loved the whole thing!
