Very, very nice....The ONLY thing I would have changed is....That you should have built it on my property....:)....I'm jealous...I need a greenhouse just like that one.... It doesn't look recycled at all....and it's my color too..... I'd be in it all of the time...... I bet you're happy with something soooo nice.... Great Job and thanks for sharing....I'm going to look for windows and doors now....a wonderful inspiration....

Thanks ninnymary, We had many odd sized windows, (stored up to barn)..and some that were the same size..we had to do some planning to match them all up the best we could..The windows on the front..East side windows are all two diff. kinds but same size..30x30 , and we had 12 of each so we just framed them in to fit...We put a little bit of PC Panels on each end of front to have it fit the dimensions for 12 feet wide..

The patio doors on South end all matched..Got those from someone who was remodeling their home..Same w/the slider windows on the east side..They are 2, 4x4 sliding windows side by side..On west end we have a recycled storm door, w/a window that slides opens..

Thanks Rusty, I made sure to paint all the windows and frames interior and exterior to make it look cohesive ..Good luck w/your future GH...You can alll make it happen...Look for people who are remodeling..Freecycle..Hit the curbs on trash day..Look in the paper for free ads...you will be amazed at what people throw oout...Save every window and door you can find...You will make it work...

WOW, that is awesome I want one. 15 years is a long time but it looks like it was worth it. I like the bench and land scaping inside and out makes it look like it has been there for a long time. great pics!

Well Barefoot, I am speechless, everybody else used up all the superlative adjectives! Lovely, lovely, lovely!
So you had no problems with humidity causing mildews or molds last summer? Everything looks so healthy!
