Greenhouse -more progress - I think I'm done!

I should mention the most important item you will definitely need. A shade cloth. Go to a site like greenhousemegastore.com. Look for a 12 x 12 45% black shade cloth with grommets. You can see mine in the photo. Without a shade cloth your greenhouse will seriously overhead on a sunny day in early spring, summer and early fall. It is an essential item. Good luck.

Thank you Jack, but I didn't know I could have been fried like a piece of Colonal Sanders chicken with that receptacle!!! Going to change that out and mount it to a 2x4 toenailed to the 4x4.

It might be better if you can get hubby to bury exterior romex in PVC and put a GFI outlet in. Water and electric are not good companions. All is looking good though.

Love the pavers!! Really want to get that done in the floor of my greenhouse. I just left grass- and the funny thing is, grass grows really well in a greenhouse! I really don't need to be weedwacking the greenhouse! Love to see your progress. Have you got any lettuce seeds to plant in there?

Got rid of the hubby a looooong time ago - I pretty much do everything myself with help from dear old dad. Going to HD tomorrow for a GFI plug and will eventually bury the romex.

No seeds, just potted plants right now. LOL! I do imagine the grass does grow really well in there!

Well, you and dear old dad did a great job on the greenhouse. When you bury the romex you really should use PVC conduit. Someone might get digging someday and get a shock. Conduit is not expensive and it is real easy to work with.
