C. Voodoo's Lean-To Greenhouse Build

[ChinaVoodoo]

Ok. Day 1.
I planned pretty good but bought used windows and have to make a few adjustments to my plan, but this is the gist of what's I'll be doing with my free time. Stay tuned.

If you have any house building going on, I've used free timber, specifically 8' plasterboard/drywall pallets. I'm not sure if they're used where you live. They provide usable timber you can choose to treat, and you know dry wall has been stored on them and not chemicals etc.
If you don't have one, a pallet breaker makes pulling them apart painless and quick. I welded one up but I'm sure you can buy on.
Screwfix sell them in the UK. they're a Roughneck pallet buster for £27

I like the idea of the pallet breaker. I didn't know there was such a tool.

Looking good bro. I see you already have a conduit cable running round the house to connect some power up for your next kiln project

First night after completion. Currently 36°F outside, 44°F inside, heated by a seedling heat mat.

All my plants look good through the window.

Do the glass doors slide open?

They're currently leaning at a 7° angle. I pull them up so they're vertical then slide them. The one on the far end slides adjacent to the greenhouse and the closer one slides to the middle.

Thank you. The idea is to save space and energy with my starts and to get a garden sooner. And then once all the seedlings are out and in the ground, there's still room for a few big tomato plants or something that needs a bit of heat.

I'll have to plant that banana seed I found then. The wife was saying you never know, couldn't hurt to try.
