Outstanding! I am very happy for you. A lot of hard work ahead, but it will pay off big, and what satisfaction knowing you did it yourself!

I actually haven't thought that through, Jean. I think in a perfect world it would be. I've got a gravel floor in my current one and I'm not happy with it. Although gravel floors are inexpensive and do add humidity when wet, keeping them debris free is impossible. And weeds grow very nicely in them!

I may try laying concrete type tiles in this new one. As it is, when we sell this place, one g.h. may be a hard sell...but two!

Roy is absolutely right and I should have planned on rubber.

The last month was spent removing landscaping and a few trees. I worked hard over the 3 day weekend to get the stakes and backer boards set for stringing the foundation lines. It was so windy that I had to put off trenching. Hopefully I'll start that in the next week or two. I'll post periodic pics as I go along. Yes, I'm doing this on my own

I hired out Greenhouse #1 but figured I'd give this one a go.

The red line is actually where the g.h. will be. The lines are for the 16" wide cement footing to carry the 2 ft. high, block knee wall.

PS nice home project too

**Immusaatmonna** · 05-29-2008, 06:08 PM

Yeah, it's about time to give up the toddler picnic table since they are almost 13 and 15. All they used it for were science experiments with bugs, anyway. Doggy is running by in the lower right/shaded part of the photo.

Candace, does this new house have rubber walls ???

**Immusaatmonna** · 05-29-2008, 06:59 PM

Do you mean you'd be worried about the trees dropping stuff? They're redwoods. In back of us is a couple we've never seen in the back yard, ever, in 9 years. And they have a pool. Weird. To our right is a retired couple. The house kitty corner that is visible in the photo, has 3 kids and we've never had one problem with them or balls etc. flying over.

My current g.h. is quite the target for soccer balls from my own monsters, though.

Walls are twinwall polycarb.

**agiopwer** · 05-29-2008, 07:10 PM

Wow, only in my wildest dreams.
