    Built entirely out of rough sawn western red cedar. I planned ,routered and cut each piece, it took me 7 months of evenings and weekends to finish did all but the roof by myself, this all after I had heart surgery and I figured this might be my last time to do it,

    Great job Bob...

    Did you draft the plans yourself or did you find a set of plans to build from? I am askign because when the time comes to build my own greenhouse finally I would like to build it from scratch as well and not a kit.

    Its an 30 odd years of things I wanted in a greenhouse I drew up the plans in my head while recuping from heart surgery Dec 07 started building Feb o8 very slowly at first took almost 2 months to Take the rough cedar and plane it route it and get all my pieces done. Glazing came from Charlies 2' x4' 4' to 6' long precut really made it nice and had no waste. 4'pieces sides 6' pieces with uv protrction built in roof. It was a lot of work but if I was able I'd do it again.

    Homemade greenhouses are my personal favorite. DH

    and I spent almost four months to build mine from scratch and I love it.
    It's mostly automated, but it expects me to be there once a day for
    inspection.

    You did a wonderful job.:)
