Isn't it fantastic!!!!  It's made from old windows destined for the landfill.  I saw a greenhouse on http://www.re-nest.com and knew my fiance would have sooooo much fun building it.(wink wink) Its almost finished, a bit more paint and gravel around the bottom and I'll be ready for planting.  Fresh tomatoes anyone?

pipandpipper writes: Hey there, what a response. First off, there were no plans in the making of this beauty. I've been trying to upload my "how they made it" pics on blogger but it's not co-operating at the moment. I'll try again today. I'll keep you informed.
Cheryl - it wasn't complicated at all. when I get the pics I'll post more detail on my blog. thanks for looking:) Posted: 10:28 am on June 14th

Would he sell the plans for this? My huz is handy, but this looks very complicated! Is your fiance a carpenter?
I've been wanting a green house for forever!
I've got a slew of vintage windows and doors I've scrounged over the years.
Let me know about the plans, if you will! Thanks. Cheryl Posted: 12:46 am on June 13th

We're hoping for a greenhouse next summer. Can't wait to show hubby your design! Posted: 9:23 am on June 9th
