New Greenhouse

The new greenhouse is almost finished, but the hardest work is done. It was way more work than I had thought. The most unusual aspect of this project was that it was conceived on a pocket calculator and a dry-erase board in my garage. All measurements were based around some free windows that were given to me by a friend.

Ironically, the windows were the last piece of the puzzle, and I held my breath at the last few moments wondering if the windows would all fit into their place along that wall.



All went well, and this "unusual" greenhouse is unique for a very good reason; with the exception of a future tornado, this thing ain't going nowhere! It's sturdy, built on pressure treated stilts (with re bar spikes) sunk in concrete. I have never forgotten my previous attempt with a traditional greenhouse - only to have it blow away in a fantastic October windstorm. My neck of the woods has more weather extremes, so I have to overbuild.



I'm glad that this project is almost finished, as it really kept me from doing other things, such as keeping this blog updated. By the way, it has been on full year since I started this blog.

Here we go again!
