Well the frame is up - all but the door section. Once the high winds have gone we'll be moving all the furniture and placing the frame where we want it to be. We'll then start to put in the glass and see just how many panels we need to replace. With any luck we'll have a working greenhouse before long. Not bad for absolutely nothing is it?!!!

Way cool, Eileen. Even better since it was free.
You are going to have such fun with that.

It's fabulous Eileen. I'm excited to see the finished product and (of course) extremely jealous!

Looks like thats going to be a nice one. You'll be able to grow lots in that. Care to share how you came across such a good find for nothing? Can't wait to see the finished product.

Petunia I got the greenhouse from our local Freecycle site.  People advertise things they want to get rid of or that they don't use any more and I was lucky enough to pick up the greenhouse - already dismantled and ready to go. I may have to replace a few cracked and broken panes of glass but it's better than paying out for an 8' x 6' greenhouse as they can be somewhat expensive.

I would love to have a greenhouse and the price tag can't be beat. Have fun with it and don't forget pics for us when it's in use. Great find!

I am envious
Soon you will be able to use that greenhouse and be the envy of all in your neighborhood.
Wish I had the space for a greenhouse.
