...Finally, we're fulfilling our Greenhouse dream! Check out this beauty!
Yeeah it's really coming together now! LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY!! It's really becoming what I hoped it would be! I'll go through what's happened since the last update:
Well, we finished the frame for the roof. Then, we put Isolation glass in.
Kristoffer getting the glass put in...with style!
We measured and ordered normal glass for the side windows. Everything is specially cut and put into its "spot".
A local, retired carpenter, our Polish workers and Kristoffer have done a great job to get it this far. Here is the "back room" where they've done a lot of the work.
We found an old door in the barn that Lezek fixed up. It's so fun to upcycle old materials!
I didn't get to help out as much as I planned, but at least I get to do the final strokes on the planks!
I wanted this roof decor sooooo bad, and argued that it was super smart so the birds don't sit in the roof and poop on the windows... And Kristoffer had to agree to that! :D YES!! It was what you call, "the icing on the cake!" :)
The door and all the windows are put in! Ooo la la.
The old door looks good ;)
This is inside the walls. We will put in a plank to cover it so that the isolation doesn't get wet.
We're going to build a little "house" over this as a "technical room" for the water, electricity and heat to come up. Ohh yeah, and my pink garden hose! ;)
We even installed some auto windows!! One on each side, and one on each side in the roof. They close if the temperature is below 15 degrees Celcius... That's what I'm talking about!
For my 30th birthday, a group of my friends got this for me.. I think they know me well? ha ha.
Sorry about the mess-- it's still in building phase, but here is how big the plants have gotten. They all started as little seeds that I showed you! (How amazing is nature for making a plant to bare veggies from a tiny little seed, huh?) Here you see a bench with two, long lower ones, and one at a good "working height" for me to replant and stuff.
Kristoffer had some more dirt delivered to cover up where we dug up so much during the ground work...and someone was having a blast with it!
There's just some tiny details left, and I´m thrilled how it's turning out. What do you think? I still need advice for the rest of the interior - What should we have to water the plants? Automated or not? Any tips from experienced greenhouse folks? ;) I´m also thinking of putting in two small chairs and a table under the chandelier? :) Tiles on the floor? Heelp me! :)
