How to Build a Greenhouse!

Hello everyone, 

How's your weekend? We're doing good here in Northern California. Our usual temps in June are in the triple digits, but this past week the temps have been in the 80's. It's wonderful. 

In my last post HERE I asked you to guess my birthday gift. 

Yep! You guessed it. I received a greenhouse.

Here is a photo of Sweetheart holding the box the greenhouse was packed in. He's so funny and cute for  72... And he is so handy.
BEFORE

We have wanted to build a greenhouse for years. While visiting Harbor Freight we spotted this nifty greenhouse for a great price. 

Perfectly sized to fit in the backyard, this greenhouse is ideal for the casual gardener or flower enthusiast.

• Sliding door for easy access
• 
  
• Roof vent for climate control
• 
  
• Durable, all-weather aluminum frame
• 
  
• UV-coated polycarbonate panels for sunlight
• 
  
• diffusion 
• LINK to Harbor Freight

• 

Shipping weight was 81 lbs. 

Sweetheart checked it out and found the directions. 

Accessories included: Hardware and Wrench

Sweetheart decided to use his own wrench

I'm so excited about planting annuals from seed in the greenhouse. I've dreamed of starting some annuals in January, and planting them in early spring.

We installed the greenhouse behind Sweetheart's shop. The door slides closed and the windows on top of the roof  are great for ventilation. Sweetheart built wooden benches for about $20.00 dollars worth of lumber. Also Sweetheart built a redwood foundation for the greenhouse. There is a space next to the door for a potting sink and bench. We are looking for a vintage sink at garage and yard sales. I'll show you that in another post when we get it set-up.

I had to take a few photos inside and love the light the windows reflect. I have my own flower shop. lol 

This is the view from the back. It's 6 feet by 8 feet. Just the right size. 

AFTER

I think a stained glass piece would look nice hanging on the back wall. 

A  Mosaic for a total look

Thanks for visiting My Cozy Corner.
I'm really enjoying Summer with my granddaughters. We have some fun activities planned, such as swimming, photographing some posts and our vacation in July.
Joyously,
Betty
