With the help of my dad & my grandfather we built this to years ago. 99% recycled with 2 2x4's being sawed by one of gramp's friends. We got the rest of the lumber from a hardware's store scrap pile. It took us about 12 hours or so. We got the windows from another Family friend (grandfather has lot's of friends :D ) the tin came off of one of gramps old barns that he took down. The pictures are ones i just took to day. What do you think? (and that's to day's picture we are getting more snow now... had the day off school)

Okay, I see it now!! Looks fabulous- except for the snow!! What did you grow in there? Did you use it just for starts, or did you actually grow things all summer??? Starting to use mine this year- so I would love to hear your experiences....

Is it safe to assume you're on the east half of Canada? Just curious! Looks mighty cold!
Yup, not to bad to day though. It got down to -30c here this week
