Greenhouse in progress

Nov 03, 2009 18:03

I found doors! I found eleven 24 inch doors with glass panels (I really needed 14). They need some work  - recaulking and cleaning. I might do some of that tonight if I get a second wind.

I'm trying to decide whether to paint them or not. They are off white, but I'd like white. If I'm going to paint them, I should do it before I put them up - it will be much easier. However, I'm on a time schedule to get the thing into the shape of a building instead of 10.000 pieces laying all over the yard.




I'm tired. I'm still not sure how I'm going to attach the doors. I am thinking that I will screw a 2x4 or 2x6 to the base of the shed, perpendicular to the ground, then set the doors on top of that and screw the doors onto the frame (predrilling holes, of course).

I'm still going to need to get two doors for the front, and some open-able windows for the front and back of the greenhouse. I'll also need to do something about the floor - it's raised plywood, but it is not in as good shape as it was 10 years ago. I'm afraid of what is under the floor, so I don't want to rip it up (I'm thinking copperhead den). I wonder if I can just float a new layer of plywood on it, with vinyl or linoleum on top? I could then squeegee out any puddles after watering.
