framework was all done within 4 hrs . but I didnot get picture of it till we had laid the carpet & put my tools away in my buckets :) but here is the Side view i think .

Day 2 Mar 18 th we Built In All the SHELVES Or Tanning Beds :)))

Here is my Brother hard at work .

We had a few days of bad weather so my Roofing & Plastic Didn't get Put on till Mar 23 rd
the Roofing was another extra $120. But feel it will be worth the investment .
here is the side & front View .

Here is the Back View In witch the Hose will be added Soon , & Also have the Door to put on yet Before I Can call it Finished :)
will try to keep you all posted .

Wow great project, I too am jealous. thanks for sharing.

I always heard,"When I win the Lottery". Now I know someone actually did.
Nice job!
We put the fiberglass on our original greenhouse. It turned yellow but lasted about 15 years. The way you have yours built, you could add it to the sides, too.

Have a Great Day!
Bernie

Yes Bernie if I was to buy maybe 2 sheet a month :) I need about 11 sheets to reach around . Its about $30.a sheet here maybe if i find some slightly used , that would be nice :) .

I Can say this will never blow over :))) .
have a great day everyone & TY All

Susie, I am so excited for you! I cannot imagine what things you wil be growing now that you have a greenhouse. I want a greenhouse inside my house! LoL

It's cute as a button! Can't wait to see it full and lush and green and and and...
Can you hang baskets in it too? Looks like you accounted for that idea with the metal rod and eye-screws.

So glad you posted, it is just so nice.

Suggestion, I had a small greenhouse years and years ago, and DH hung a metal pipe the distance of the greenhouse for me to hang pots from. I ended up with two pipes since it was wide enought and gave me an amazing amount of plant hanging space.

You're so lucky to have a wonderful & talented brother! Great job. It should give you hours of enjoyment.
Pam
