Here is Dan's progress since my last greenhouse post.

That is pretty much the stopping point for now. The next thing to work out is the details for the windows, especially how to do with the roof. We have the wall windows, but we still have to source something for the roof. Lots of options, so lots of calculating, analyzing, and number crunching.

Nothing makes me envious more than seeing a picture of Dan's sawmill!
ReplyDeleteMake sure you don't stint on ventilation--a window shelf for a fan, for instance. I have a greenhouse addition to my chicken barn. Aphids love to set up shop in the warmth there in early Spring.
ReplyDeleteEd, that sawmill has been a huge blessing. Dan still frets over his imperfections, but his lumber is just as good as what we can get at the big box home improvement store!
ReplyDeleteJulie, stay tuned!
Looks like you're off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteDaisy, a great start, but I suspect a slow finish. :)
ReplyDeleteNice really nice I’m very excited for you looking forward to the next installment when it comes I’m sure you’re are gonna love this! Goatldi
ReplyDeleteGoatldi, the window part seems to be the more challenging part. Dan's working through several ideas. He sometimes asks me what I think, but I think he knows best!
ReplyDeleteI love watching Dan flaunt his skill set.
ReplyDeleteTpals, I think he would say that this project is more challenging that his past building endeavors. It's the first time he's had to figure out a glass roof!
ReplyDeleteLooks good. Envious of Dan's lumber handling skills - with that sawmill, that is good money in the bank not spent.
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteTB, Dan would be the first to admit that there was a huge learning curve with the sawmill, and that he's not perfected it yet. But it's definitely paid for itself many times over.
ReplyDeleteKristina, thanks!
That is simply wonderful! What an awesome project. I can’t wait to see how you address the roof, Leigh. I have seen a lot of those see through plastic panels, but they may be too hot. I’m very happy and excited for your future endeavors !
ReplyDeleteWhat a project!
ReplyDeleteI liked the frosty marigolds.
And the mashed potatoes, it was a wise purchase.
Wyomingheart, good to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely don't want to use those transparent plastic panels on the roof. I know a lot of people use them, but they seem really flimsy; more-so now than even just a few years ago. Even if nothing falls on them to break them (like branches or hail), plastic eventually dries out and cracks.
Dan's been working on alternatives, and I should have something to show you all soon!
I trust a new addition to the bookstore is in process documenting a "how to" for those of us who require a leader and path already made. Love the progress. You all are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteX, thanks! I don't know about this for another how-to, but I have been thinking about them lately. :)
