You'll learn so much more from actually having a greenhouse compared to us chattering classes offering advice. Then you can plan the next stage of covering over your entire yard

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to get it up by tomorrow nite but dont know how thats going to work out as its just me putting this together, and upon opening the box it looks like there are 700 pieces

Darryl this is not the expandable kind, but I do have ideas to make it bigger/add-on next year. For now I just need something to get them out of the rain for the winter.

Alrighty guys have some pics for ya's. Since I am not actually builing this from scratch, and got it done today I will post all the build pics at once lol.

1. Got the basic foundation ancored down.

2. OMG what a NIGHTMARE!!!

3.Now it starts to look like something. At this point my helper had to leave

4. At this point I was really excited that it was starting to look more and more like a green house, little did I know many many more snags were in the works.

5. YAY all done! Just have a few minor things to finish up tomorrow (small cosmetics)

6. Just a pic of the inside still not done with the floor and what not. My silly arse is in the pic just to kinda give a size comparison. I am 6'1" and 200lbs if it helps.

Oh and by the way this was a pain in the booty to put together but now its done I love it!
Any comments/questions??

Is it warm in there?

dustin0352 · Post by **dustin0352** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 11:19 pm

Yes very much so. I would say 10-15f more than outside. So it was very hot building this when the outside temp was 90f.

Awsome, man. It's nice to know that this can be done in one day, even with some hangups.
