We have plans for one our our website. We had planned on starting last fall, but winter arrived early and it had to be put on hold. As soon as the snow melts, we are building this greenhouse if it's the last thing we do...LOL. Here is a link that might be useful: Our Greenhouse Project

do you have an account with freecyle? chances are there is one in your area...you have to have a yahoo account and then you can search groups for "freecycle" this is free to join and a great source of recycleable material, perfect for the a tight budget...and bonus you can keep stuff out of the landfills :) There you can post a request for such things. Also www.craigslist.com is a site you could post an "wanted" ad in for windows. I had someone once offer me a whole BUILDING of old glass windows in a remodel that was going to happen later in the year. Also, you should check out www.backpage.com and see if your local area has a representation...another place to look for FREE stuff and post that you are looking for a particular item. Finally, google search free advertising and your specific area, and see what you find.

I am collecting materials as I go (for FREE or cheap) My next door neighbor is giving me his left over lumber from his house he is having built... The windows I intend to use are either going to be the old wooden grid style sash type window...OR I may have access to about 40-50, 1950 casement windows. I do not k-now the size of the windows, as I have not seen them yet(they are coming from an apartment remodel) so at least they should be pretty uniform in size/shape etc. I dont know whether or not they are double paned, probably not. since I'm searching still for the materials, I'm very flexible on what I use etc. I will be also getting some double paned sliding glass doors (standard size, 3ft x 78 inches). these will probably be used for the roof or possibly the roof and door? I'm hoping to find some french doors for the entry.... I will also try for something about 6 feet wide, 8-10 feet deep with rafters? and an A-frame top. the exact measurements of course will be dictated by the size of the windows. Basically, I was hoping to get feedback (pro's and con's) from anyone who has built something similiar and to find out tips/ideas on materials that were used, etc. I have seen a few GH on here that I liked, and would try to improve upon...one is mao-tse-mom (if you search her name, you'll see what she did) the other is kellyfg...I actually like hers better and would aim for something more like it, just bigger.

We got the door on! I have decided to add a section on to the back and fill it with water jugs. Also, we will make a pull-across tarp-ish thing with 2x4's attached to drag across the inner ceiling on cool nights. Any other ideas? Paint should be happening soon-ish.
