Nyboy, I bought it off my local Craigslist, for 100.00! The fellow I purchased it from, had it for years and he bought it from the city he lived in. I love CL's and as I was reading along I saw the post "bus stop"-it was too weird not to look at. The minute I saw it, I thought, that is not a bus stop- that is a greenhouse!! ,

How funny- I didn't think about that! It is made from aluminum, so you have to fight them out the hands of scrapers. I had a couple guys offer to buy it from me, before we had it off the trailer!

OK, I'm really impressed. When you are not using it for growing you can use it for entertaining. ;)

WOW lesa, I was wondering how that project was going to turn out. It really turned out great, I like it. Did you put that automatic vent from harbor freight in? Does it work? You will have to let us know how the bus stop tomatoes turn out!

Yes, there are two windows (on the side you can't see in the pic) with the automatic vents. They work really well!! They are meant to go in a roof window and we have them on a "wall" window-if you know what I mean. So, we had to fiddle with them a little by adding a weight, so they would close.
For me the issue is getting the windows open- it gets hot in there fast! I have been very pleased with them. We will see if they last through the cold winter... But, at 12 bucks I guess I spring for a couple more. I certainly would recommend them.
