I have a bumper crop of Poison Oak this year if anyone needs any. Very hardy plants, on fact its the only green thing growing in my yard I've been unable to kill. Great for planting along lot line with neighbors. Cats love to brush against it also and then rub on your leg causing hours of entertainment.

very cool! if I ever need to replace my greenhouse, I would do something like this but much smaller. I only use it for growing out seedlings in the spring.

a few questions. what is that bump out part by the door. and why material is covering the roof and eaves about that bump-out.

Ahhh Dr. Who's phone booth is what I call it. It kind of made itself, the roof is made with glass doors and to make it work we had to have about a foot and a half overhang on that side. We wanted to make sure everything was shored up while putting in support braces for the overhang, the wife had the idea of using the braces to enlarge the original plan and glass it in. We are waiting on getting a glass cutter to finish out all of the odd angles and such, plastic is still covering those areas until we do that. We are using that enlarged space to put the wood stove on to assist in heating in the dead of winter.

Thanks all! Project completed and cleaned up, here are the completion pics:

Lunar Moths approve, there has been a different one awaiting us every morning this week:

I gotta hand it to my wife, we started with nothing but a vision in her head and many trips to the hardware store later (the employees of the local hardware store upon seeing her enter the store, drop what they are doing and break in to a slow ever increasing applause) we have a real, glass greenhouse. Getting all of the glass for free was key and enabled us to sink more money into good, treated wood for framing. My wife got a new 10 inch miter saw in the deal, she is happy and so am I. {#Meditate}

very nice

The glass conversion is complete or how I spent my spring vacation! We now have a complete glass fully functioning aquaponic garden and tilapia farming system. Just need to install the solar generator and it will be stand alone as well! {#Bananapiano}

There is nothing about all that that isn't cool. Outstanding, sir! {#Cheers}

I wish you could spend an evening there with me.

I rarely get lonely but company would be nice.

There are enough red wing blackbirds, meadowlarks, geese and bullfrogs that I am enjoying no iPod at all.
