Now, those are COOL! What a way to recycle! Wonder how they are attaching them together....must go do research. Not that it would help me any, we don't know anyone that uses that many water bottles.

Thistle, that was an excellent buy on that stove...it's beautiful!! Will last you your lifetime and can be passed along as "Mama's old wood stove" for generations to come.

Found it and I think this is a hugely wonderful project for school kids, teaching them upcycling and how to grow food in inventive ways.

I have seen the How To of bottle green houses before. Since I have NEVER purchased water in a bottle, I doubt a greenhouse like that is something I'd ever try.

I wonder how long it will stand up to UV before the plastic starts to shatter?

Go to any large outdoor gathering in summer, check garbage cans, you will find ton of water bottles.

We went to Lowes and there was a nice bundle on the cull rack! My husband hunted down Tim (we are on a first name basis now) while I rounded up the things we went in there for. Tim totaled everything up for a total of $265, then knocked it down to $66. We got 2x4's, treated 1x6's, plywood a 1x12, a couple of 2x6's, and 2 stair stringers with the top stringer broke out. I did a happy dance over the stair stringers, I need to build steps to the portable building.

When your hens start laying you need to give Tim a gift of eggs.
