  • The greenhouse looks great, but there is one thing that concerns me. I learned the hard way that using poly from a hardware store isn't really the greatest idea. It'll last for a season or two, but soon the UV from the sunlight will eat it away. Do yourself a favor, when it's time to replace it, buy poly with a UV protective coating from a nursery supply warehouse. It's more expensive, but it will last much longer and you won't have to replace it nearly as often. Happy gardening!

  • @willfrost Thanks, i agree. I think i did mention the longivity issue in one of the videos. I totally plan on replacing it with actual greenhouse poly. But i was excited to get it covered quickly due to it beings so cold here this winter.. the poly was only $20 @ home depot so i dont mind replacing it. I am also strongly considering rolling it up in the summer anyway.. so maybe it would last a bit longer.. any ideas/issues on that? Thanks again

  • Sweet. Good tunes too.

    I saw someplace (maybe Garden Fork) where they made an automatic venting window for a greenhouse. Done cheaply, too. If I find it, I'll let ya know.

  • Oh yeah.. i remember that show. They were building a hoop house.. thanks you. Please let me know if you come across it and i will look too. Thats a great solution. I will also be purchasing a roll of shade cloth to cover the greenhouse in the sumer to lower temps.

  • Where did the song come from? It's great!

  • nice job

  • Thanks brother. Its funny that you brought up the question if this greenhouse is strong enough.. cuz this is really the most lasting thing i've built. I tend to be impulsive and view all things as temp. anyway. So i thought i went all out on this. Using 2x4s instead of pvc like i planned. 3/8" lag anchors into the block and stuff.. but i DO see what your saying. Just grab a camera.. Lets show people the many different ways to Live. I'd love to see it. Peace & abundance

  • Yes, Gustav has giving me a new respect for Hurricanes and when I build now, I have a bad habit of wanting to put in 3 foot concrete footers for a chicken coop.

    I'm not worried about you. I'm doing everything you are doing and just following your progress and relating it to my own. I wish I could have the time to video log my place, but it is just like yours..

    congrats on the coming Child, the greatest Treasure on earth.

  • Looks Great !
