Weekend project! :)
Well, I was going to wait till it's finished, but I just can't stand it! And we've had winds over 20 m/p/h since we finished this part
Dh had a bug up his u-know to do a greenhouse, instead of the cart I needed made to increase for the house seedlings...............so.....
I am not working and we needed to do this cheaply. This is from all used parts and pieces, except the tubing and the wolmanized and a few of the 2" X 4"s.
Hopefully the wind dies down before the plants overtake the house so I can use this thing!!!
This was sunday night pics It's not glamorous, but will certainly suit the needs of the garden (poteger) that's going in front of it

I certainly hope it does! What fun to plan and do. And so cheaply! Home depot had those little plastic 5'X6' things you couldn't walk into I don't believe and wanted $250 bucks! Man, I think we spent less than a hundred so far and that includes the cover (not shade cloth yet and the shelving around the perimeter.

That was the fun of it. When we decided to do it, it was going to be a one year item till we could expand the back of teh workshop to put one on.
This turned out to more involved, but cheaper than we thought be/c dh does renovations and warranties, so that helped like with the door.
There are 5 screened windows and I am hoping to get grannies old wash tubs in it for potting up Can't wait for this danged wind to die down so we can get the cover off, without it blowing into the next county!

I can't believe how cheap it was OED. You can do it! Dh was just saying the bunnies better not be scratching to get in through the bottom of the plastic when we put it up. I told, "there something we can do to keep that from happening!" Glass! LOL He gets occasional windows too, but often they are bay and such. WOuldn't that be purrrrrrrrty! A bay out the back facing the proteger
I'm digging a drain for it with gravel as it's sitting on sandy soil. Should be great for drainage. Just have to figure out what to put down on the floor as he just gave away a ton of carpet remnants that would fit, that we could have turned over for this year till I can afford some pavers! UGH!
