Being from Texas but living in Seattle, I wanted to grow a few tropical things and also stay out of the dreary wet weather. Funny thing is that I moved up here to get away from the heat. Now I miss it. Well I decided to build a greenhouse. Here's the plot and lumber.

That was in the Fall of 2005. Then came the winter. I kept on in the miserable weather and here's the framing going up:

Then the frame almost completed:

I worked through the winter and into the spring until finally finishing up. Here's the finished greenhouse sometime in the late spring early summer:

Notice first that my backyard is quite little. It's grown in a lot by now though. Along the fence is bamboo that was just getting started. It has mostly screened me in now in 2007. There are a few eyesores to deal with. Notice the shipping container and apartments!  Sometime soon I'll have to post a panorama of my yard using my good camera to prove that I am a gardener

If you want to know the trials and tribulations of building a greenhouse, drop me an email and I would be happy to share with you.
