Well done! Congratulations to you and your Mom! Now keep us updated with the process of moving your plants in!

Hey, wait a minute - where are the benches? Or will you keep your plants on the floor, so your Mom won't need to bring that ladder for every visit?

Just went through your postings and watched the greenhouse go up. Looks like a great job and a great greenhouse. Have fun filling it up with all you new plants but remember the fact that ......(unfilled greenhouse space= desire for more plants= filled up space= Second Greenhouse).

Also known as Mike King Syndrome, where just one greenhouse just ain't enough. Looks like you may be infected with National Collection Disease, which is incurable. However, no one I know has ever died from it.

Nice greenhouse Andrew!

Well, we decided to cover most of the top with some shade cloth....

We did that yesterday. As well as buying and putting together the racks... they hold 600 lbs on each shelf... that should be strong enough. hehehe this is the same style rack i used to use when i grew inside... except i stacked the two instead of making them seperate racks as i did here.... And today I moved my fogger (blue thing hanging from the roof) in today and my master cool cooler (seen at rear) then it was time for the plants!!! Now i can start all that very much needed transplanting

awesome greenhouse Andrew.

 

[Tony Paroubek]

YAY!!!!

What funny looking Nepenthes though

I kept thinking 'what no roof yet!??' Up here in my part of the country the roof goes on FIRST! Cuz even if it is a 2day project you can almost be guaranteed water will fall from the sky at some point lol.

 

[adnedarn]

LOL Tony... we get rain maybe 15 days a year... and some of those you say "Is it raining??" cause there are just a few drops. The neps for now are still in the g/h at my house. Since they are lowland and the new g/h is not heated. So everything tropical is still here with me where i can heat them and such.... I have added a 250w metal halide set up to extend the days and add some warmth.... I'm excited to get them over there for next spring though

Andrew

Oh, and Tony, a GH warming nep would be fine with me.

LOL

Is that one of them Aquafogger fans I see in the back, high up?

 

[PlantAKiss]

Wow. That is awsome. Look at all that space!! Would make a great baby playpen too.

Ok...now...grow some plants...and send me some.

Well, truthfully it looks really great and your Mom must be just plain ol "cool" to help you out so much. Tell her I said hi.

Yeah, it sure it.

It was super overkill in the place I kept my plants here... But it is perfect for the new g/h... The moist breeze can be easily felt at the other end of the g/h. With it only on about 1/4 flow... I love that thing

Also, it works great. It easily keeps up with putting the place at 85% humidity in about 5 mins from 8% ( I know that cause the pump stoped working that feeds the fogger and I turned it on full blast today... LOL)

Trust me, it does make a great playpen. And the neighbor kids will come and borrow your plant for school projects.
Tell your cool Mom hi from me too, and that y'all can look forward to scenes like these in a few years:

 

[adnedarn]

Sweeeeeeet

 

[nepenthes gracilis]

How is that setup Hans? Alot of PVC plastic piping and plastic sheeting attached to it?

 

[CP30]

Awesome looking greenhouse, I am soooo jealous. How long did it take you to install/put together? You made it look very simple, was it really?

Make sure you keep us posted with ongoing pics of the GH's development and rapidly shrinking spare room!

 

[adnedarn]

CP30, if you read at all... You would read about how most of the parts came already assebled! I couldn't believe it. The green house was absolutly in the biggest parts it could be to be shipped. All together, including getting the rock for the base, putting up shade cloth.. all that (up to before putting the plants in ) over 3 days, we put in only about... i'd say... just under 10 hours or so. Now lets put that in perspective. A few days prior the arrival of this g/h... I helped put a Arrow shed together 10 * 10 *5 .. that took us 6 hours. JUST for the shed! Not incl. the base... so yeah. The g/h was super simple!!

 

[CP30]

I did read it all, Ijust wanted to makesure it REALLY was as easy as it seemed. I have been looking at the sunshine houses for some time, and I think my better half is coming around (slowly but surely). I just need to keep bringing more plants inside to winter and I think I will convince her!

Then all I have to do is scrounge up the $....guess it will still be awhile....


ENJOY

 

[adnedarn]

Hehe, tell ya what... This is the largest house that sunshine makes... And it took that short of time. I imagine anything smaller, could be up in one day, no problem! You can do some searching of your own, but the prices here at PFT.com are the cheepest I was able to find. Which surprised me!! Did I mention I got it in less than a week from order?!

In case someone missed the link pft greenhouses there it is... check out the sizes, there is bound to be one that fits your needs!!
Also, did i mention that i hung from one of the rafters? yah, no problem. LOL the g/h barely let out a squeek... very cool.
