The building of my new greenhouse has started. Updated 4-19-12

[chris09]

progress is looking great, looks like you are close to the finish line!

It's getting real close.
I have about 20 - 2x4's and 5 - 4x8 OSB to get and external framing will done. Then I'll have trim to put up and then put 2 good coats of a heave primer and a coat of paint on it.

Internal bells and whistles might take some time.
I have to build the benches, run pluming and electric then I want to insulate the north roof and all the walls.
I should have everything up and running by fall.

I also want to build a heated propagation bench with a auto watering/misting system.


Chris

sounds like you are going to have it all blinged up LOL.

LOL,

I hope to get back on this project soon I would like to be all set up and running by fall. But I keep coming up with new ideas and I'm not able to find the time to work on it so it's a good thing that I decided and told the wife I would have it done by fall.

One of the new ideas is to have a small hydroponic set up some where in there.

I love all of the ideas-The dreaded words my husband hates to hear. "Tom, I have this great idea..."

I hear ya Chris.... around here we've already started another project before the one we were working on is even done. Then once spring hits full force and the garden needs attention, everything else that can be, will be, put on hold.

It's just life, but there is always tomorrow. :happy_flower

So Chris 09, how does your garden grow? Any new greenhouse pictures??

 

[chris09]

Been a wile since I have had time to work on the greenhouse but got to get back on it about a week ago and got some work done on it.
Up dated pictures,

Fantastic-DIY projects often take a lot of time. There is always time and money constraints. But, that's they way many of us can afford to have some of the things we want. I always look forward to seeing your progress no matter how long it takes. Thanks for sharing.

The heat of the summer made it hard to even think about working on the greenhouse so I thought I would just wate till fall then start working on it again.
All was not wasted time though, the summer gave me plenty of time to think about ideas for two "add-ons".
Add-on one attached 8'x20' lean to garden shed to the North side of the Greenhouse,
Add-on two 8'x10' Lath house to the East side
