Looks great!!! 👍
Oh my gosh thank you so much !
A comment like that from Laura and Aaron! Thats a huge honor, they must be getting eager to build their own (admittedly a bit more grand of one) :)
@@bryantull7596 so true, I love Garden Answer.
My dad is a contractor, so he's been saving all the throw-away windows form his jobs over the past few years and now I've found a good use for them!
He could build a whole house with them and then he could cast the first stone.
I would love to see how you close the gap between the plastic and the frame. My brother and I are getting ready to build a greenhouse using old windows and your GH is amazing! Don’t have a roundabout figure for how much would you used we are in the planning process now. Thank you for any and all suggestions!
Great looking green house. I love if you can repurpose something for no cost or for a relatively cheap expense.
So beautiful! I’m just starting to plan building my greenhouse, I like how you put the windows together in sections then framed them on that way. It looks much easier than trying to fit all these puzzle pieces together to form a cohesive wall
glad you like it! We would love to see progress or photos of your greenhouse as you go!!! Tag us @oldreddingfarm on instagram or email them to us if you are not on instagram! We would love to cheer you on as you build. oldreddingfarm@gmail.com
Thank you for sharing. Just started our window collection this past weekend. I love the interior paint color. Never thought of that touch.
OH awesome good luck with your build!!! Tag us in photos on IG if you have one so we can see it come together!
This is exactly the style of greenhouse I've been thinking about for a year now. All used windows. Watching yours go up so quickly and easily (thanks to the magic of UA-cam!) has inspired me once more to get out there and actively collect used windows! Also, I love your sense of humor and all the fun captions. 😊 (The "emotional table saw music" was happy and mellow, not tense and tragic, so I wasn't worried about an impending accident, thank you very much!) From your name, I wondered if you were located near me in northern California, but once I saw the snow, I knew you were far, far from here! Love your channel -looking forward to watching all your past stuff in the days ahead.
hah yes we are about as far away from California as we could get! All the way over in CT ! It's too bad we are so far we have actually gathered up enough windows to build another greenhouse (for my mother-in-law) who then changed her mind! Hah. Maybe we will just build ourselves a second one!
@@OldReddingFarm Ah, thanks for the thought. 😊 Yes, build another one - always a good thing to have more room to grow year-round!
I have a barn with two tall stacks of old windows. Wow I am so glad I found us. Thank you.
One of the best greenhouses I've seen on UA-cam as looking at ideas to building my own ... came across your page and glad I did... New sub from Ireland now to get on with greenhouse plans ...
Wow thank you so much!! I bet your greenhouse will be BEAUTIFUL! I imagine all of ireland being all rolling green hills not sure if thats true or not but a window greenhouse on some beautiful green hills I just think would be AMAZING!
Very nice and simple in the building as well. I am in the beginning face of this ... got my windows (free about 20) ... lumber next (getting a bunch for free 2x6's and 2x8s) ... should be starting in a few days .. thank you for sharing and giving me many ideas and how to's :)
HUGE fan of your 'emotional table saw music'! I may just be able to build a greenhouse after all! (and really. Thanks for the vid. Very cool- and great to up-cycle those windows! Beautiful job ❤️
Thank you!! And I hope you do build one! if you do tag us in it on Instagram @oldreddingfarm
This was fun! I watched all the build videos, that's how I found you guys. Pretty cool to see it all happen in one video. One of the best greenhouse builds I've seen on UA-cam
Oh thank you! Yah we are hoping this little bite sized video while doesn't teach people all that they need to know to build their own, could at least show them the process a little.
i like the emotional table-saw mode music. I am sure I told you I have the same saw. I love it. Dewalt never goes wrong. OK, note to self, "start collecting windows"... Great job, John. Thanks for making it Fun to watch... TTYL....
hahah thank you glad you like the music choice!! and yah that saw is a good one - the wife bought it probably 6 years ago when she was redoing some floors in a room of the house and its been going strong!
Love the green house. Great use of free materials
Thank you!
Hi , Shaun here from Happydaysveg in the UK.I love that green house,its unique and has character!Just goes to show what you can do if you put your mind to it!Keep up the great work.
Awesome! Thank you!
It turned out so good!! Ive been wanting to do the same thing, but holding off until we get our forever home!
Oh thank you so much!! If you have the space build one now what a gift it would be for the next owner! And really, who knows what forever is! Don't wait on it! Plus you will learn so much and build an even better one next!
Hey John. Thanks for sharing. Eventually we want to homestead and I really love this idea. Sherry
You can do it!
I want to build my greenhouse this way, as well ;) I'm collecting windows in order to get this accomplished!! Looks beautiful 😍
Oh thats so awesome!!!! Windows collecting takes a while but its so worth it!!
This is such a great built! We love this idea and want to try it on our homestead
Thank you!
I've always been one who feels table saws in particular evoke a sense of emotion only a musical interlude can appropriately represent. Thanks for coming by my channel and subscribing! You're place looks great! I subscribed... be back to keep up with what's going on. Cheers and God bless! P.S. Nice greenhouse. In particular, the stained glass panels.
Thank you so much !!
It's gorgeous and I enjoyed watching you get that built!
Thank you so much!
awesome construction, took a little more than 5 minutes. I would love a break down of how you assembled the windows and such! thanks for sharing..
We have a whole video series that goes more in depth about how it was constructed. This one just for funsies. Check out the playlist!
Love it! It is so beautiful and I love that it is made from free materials. Very creative 😊
Thank you! 😊
Awesome job using up cycled materials !!!!! Very well done ! Thanks for sharing
Thank you !
Love your greenhouse. Functional AND beautiful! (New subscriber. Your channel was recommended by
Rae's Ranch and Rescue). Looking forward to seeing your other videos❣
I’m gonna start collecting windows. I love this thing..
Oh thats so great I hope you do! the windows were actually pretty easy to find once we started looking, and people around town knew we were looking so they'd also look for us! It was super great!
Beautiful, just beautiful !! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
thanks for showing us how you built the greenhouse, Love it.
You bet!
Fastest greenhouse builder in the world right here! Awesome job done folks! Stay safe and have a great weekend!
Was waiting for the vanilla Ice song to come on. When was this? And I'm seriously jealous
yes its nice to be able to speed the work right up like that!! Thank you, you too!
lol wait what vanilla ice song? lol
Wow, very well done! I love the way it looks and the process was mesmerizing.. thanks!
Thank you very much!
i've ALWAYS loved that greenhouse. reminds me of the victorian era.. those that could afford that luxury :-D cue emotional saw music.. ha ha ha guys.. it's stunning. be proud.
Thank you!!! Have you ever watched garden answer on youtube? She talks about this one style of greenhouse i forget what they're called but they're soooo fancy and (i checked online) SOOOO expensive. but they're BEAUTIFUL!
😩 I’m so jealous!! I want a house and carpentry skills
Before I moved onto this property I could barely hang a picture up straight all of this building "skill" is self taught and learned mostly on youtube! You can do it! there are resources out there to help!
I really like the style of your greenhouse its absolutely gorgeous! blessings! Wendy
Thank you so much!
Love the green house and ur Great Danes too.
Hey John, Greetings from Down Under in the subtropics. I have been growing my seedlings under the cover of our entertainment area which has light but according to the legginess of my tomato seedlings, not enough. I have been looking for a cheap design and yours looks inspired for four simple reasons. 1. Lots of light. 2. Big Yellow doors (my favorite color). 3. Cheap 4. Some stained glass windows at the front. Cheers!
Super glad you like it! We like those yellow doors too ! but they have been oddly polarizing! hah! Good luck with your build! there is a whole series on the channel with much more in depth build information hopefully it will help!
Amazing job guys! Definitely inspired. You turned castoffs into a beautiful extremely useful addition to your farm. 👏😊❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
Really great video. I have approx. 30 old windows I collected over the past 4 years and plan to do the same exact idea. Also, have eight 8' tempered glass pannels without the frames I am trying to figure into the plan. Any ideas?
Looks great. Have collected all the windows and I want to copy your green house. Please let me know the size including the roof pitch. Thanks
Love it. We built a window greenhouse this winter as well. One of my favorite places.
That is awesome!
Very useful info we are about to do ours here in Scotland
I LOVE that greenhouse! Especially the colors! Great channel!
Thanks so much!
Hi John, I've just been watching Adler Farms and they has just told us all about your channel, so I'm looking forward to seeing your video's. You now have a subscriber all the way from Nuneaton, Wark's, UK :-)
Wow hello ! How cool ! Thank you for stopping by
You are very welcome indeed; I'm going to spend some time today watching your video's 🙂
Hi John!
Love the work you did with this and of course the yellow doors!! We just got about 30 new casement windows in our house and would love to use the old ones like you did! We are about 45mins NW of you on a windy mountian! Feels more like a 7 zone and not 6b as claimed! One would think a town like Redding would more flexible and love to see it's residents be more sustainable etc! I have seen a number of folks lining the inside with think plastic to keep it a bit warmer.
Would you think that would extend the season and allow you to do more with the the greenhouse?
Stay warm and Enjoy your Holidays!
Hey there that sounds awesome you got so many windows!! And how cool you are so close! I think whether or not you wanted to line with plastic would depend on what you really want to have the main use of your greenhouse to be! We did most of our seed starting in it and having plastic lined would have been helpful in the beginning but as it starts to get warmer it was equally important to be able to cool the greenhouse (by opening windows) as it was to warm it. But if your purpose was to try to grow all winter, then absolutely I think lining it with plastic would be very helpful!
Wow that’s so cool! I’d love to do this in my garden.
You should! Its not as hard as it might seem!
Nice job! Loved the interior color
I adore your Window Greenhouse, i think when we move in a few years we may need some help to build one. x I no nothing about how to build this, a Question for you though, when you put the Doors on, what were they connected to underneath, ie did you treat them all for bad weather, as they look like Wooden windows so they do not Rot x
I had the great idea to build a greenhouse and I have found all of the windows I'll need from one person. My husband isn't going to be thrilled with me, but luckily for him; I won't need him for much lol
Good for you !!!! that's awesome! make sure we get to see it !! Either tag us on IG or something else!
This is wonderful!!! I want to build a greenhouse, too. Someone gave me a few very large glass panes (no frames) and I just need to figure out if it's possible to use them for a greenhouse.
I am sure if you could get a Frame around those large glass panes you could definitely use them! Good luck with your journey!
I got a little misty eyed at the table saw scene.......great build with such character!
Hah thank you!!
Hi John, I found your channel from Rob Greenfield's video of you showing your greenhouse. I find it very interesting, since I have seen the idea of making the greenhouses from windows, but also because my maiden name is Redding! That caught my attention. Another idea that I have seen, which is similar, is making a small greenhouse using 4 doors put together in a square shape, with one door being able to be opened. I believe it just had layers of shelves inside. :)
Hi Pat that is awesome I am so glad you stopped by (and had that connection!) That small rectangular greenhouse sounds awesome! Another thing I have seen people do is just set a window (or a door with windows) on top of a raised bed and put hinges on it so it can be opened and then it gives a little frost cover or heat help to beds in the winter! It is all awesome!
Just saw your greenhouse build. It was beautiful. Hugs
Love this, old windows are so beautiful, subbed
Oh thank you so much!!!
Hi from South West TENNESSEE. Just subbed you back! We are planning to replace our windows. Thanks for the video.
Awesome! Thank you!
When you dug the trench around the bottom, did you fill it with cement? Also the wood under the door, is that touching the ground? Just wondering how the wood holds up with the moisture and whatnot. Great video! I want to do this type of greenhouse
Wow front of our greenhouses look the same! Ours is a hillbillier version though haha. Nice work mate. Cheers from North Idaho
Oh thats cool! Yellow doors too? Someone left us a comment one time telling us to re-paint the doors since yellow attracts insects and they will eat all our plants. we were like, uh kay!
@@OldReddingFarm ha no yellow doors, went white but yours look amazing. gotta love the youtube advice sometimes! lol. cheers mate.
Great job.
You have really fast chickens. 😊
Hah, fast everything!
Great project! How did you get the roof panels for free too? They are very expensive atleast here in Finland.
You did a fantastic job. Well done to you. 👍
Thank you very much!
Amazingly beautiful!!
Thank you so much!
The music at around 2:00 had me checking the other open tabs. XD
brief moment of panic and confusion. Good one!
Oh my goodness it’s so pretty! I dare say my husband may hate you after I’ve finished watching this! Add one more thing to the future projects list. You guys did such an awesome job!!! So nice!
Hah I hope he does hate me if that means you get to have one yourself !! A small price to pay :)
Greenhouse looks nice all.finished up
Thank you!!
Absolutely Amazing! Love the yellow door. New Subscriber
Thank you!! That door came that color from the building it came down off of and we love the color!
I love your greenhouse! Very well done! I have been wanting to build one like this as well. I also really enjoyed your humor throughout this video. I giggled several times!! New subscriber. :)
Thanks so much!
Came out so good! I too got all of my windows and glass doors from FB marketplace for free 😁
It's wild how much stuff goes around on facebook marketplace for free ! Gotta be quick though 🤠!
Love it. Been watching the progress. Nice job.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this greenhouse!!
How did you secure windows to the boars in between is it screwed . I'm wanting to make my greenhouse to where if I move I can take it with me
Oh wow!! This is beautiful! I have to do this! Great job
You should! and Thank you !!
Did you build frame around old windows first then install or just frame out on structure and use stopper?
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Well done! You made something beautiful for just a little bit.
"Cue the emotional table saw music" 🤣😂🤣
Thank you !!
So amazing I just love greenhouses I really need to do this myself.
You totally should we love ours ! It takes a while to find this number of free windows so start that part of the process early !
@@OldReddingFarm okay now you motivated me so I will and thanks
Beautiful work
Thank you very much!
Absolutely LOVE this!
Thank you!!!
I seriously love your greenhouse. Wed really like to put one in time to use next spring but who knows if that will happen or not!
Start collecting windows!! The more windows you have the more likely it will be to happen!!
@@OldReddingFarm the main set back for us has been that I want it to be a sunken greenhouse! We tried to dig the hole for it while we had the excevator here but it was raining so much the ground just kept collapsing back in on itself.
Beautiful job!! We loved watching this video
Yay! Thank you!
The greenhouse turned out amazing! 💙
Aw thank you!
Wonderful Greenhouse!!! What is the size of the greenhouse and how many total windows were required?
That is beautiful! Been thinking about doing that for a few years now! Just wondering if you needed any permits to make your greenhouse?
Ugh yes we sure did ! Zoning but not building because it was under buildings size cut off. And then zoning required us to cut the 4x4s we had converted into the ground off at ground level.
We are about to start.. About 12 by 14...have been collecting glass for three days and think I there included round and arched windows... What height is yours at waves and centre? And did you use breeze locks at base?
There is no way in hell that I could have worked or can work in that kind of cold! I guess that's why you live there and I live in Texas! Adorable greenhouse and very creative, I absolutely love it!
Hah yah I don't blame you for not wanting to work in this cold, it was hardly ideal!
Awesome!! You guys did a terrific job!
I been collecting only double pane windows to build one, but I want windows even on the roof, maybe patio doors? Any ideas?
That sounds awesome! We thought about windows on the roof but decided not to because we were afraid the snow load would break the windows or branches/sticks would blow down and break windows. But if your greenhouse isn't around trees you wouldn't need to worry about that. And newer double pane windows probably would hold up better than older single pane windows! Sounds awesome! Good luck with it!
@@OldReddingFarm we have no snow here in S.C, I think I'm gonna get couple more sliding doors and go for it, ill keep you posted, you replied so quick! I have to subscribe! Thanks
Wow -- when you said 5 min. I had to see this. I see it wasn't literally 5 min but a speed version in 5 minutes. Haha. Anyway very talented you are. Thanks for sharing.
Hah yeah can only do it in 5 minutes on about 100,000x speed. Though if you just had 5 minutes you could put an old window on top of an existing raised bed and BOOM window greenhouse ! :)
Nice work, I'm looking to do similar - now that you have lived with it - what if anything would you do differently?
Loved watching this! Just wondering about the corrugated plastic roof: how do you join the panels? Also, aren't there gaps where those panels meet the wood?
Hey there, the panels can overlap on one or more of the corrugations, and they sell foam or wood fillers that you attach to the strapping of the roof to fill the gaps.
@@OldReddingFarm Thanks for your reply! You've inspired me!
Amazing, Super Unique it looks awesome
Thank you
Did you put the base down on top of the rocks? did you use any cement?
Looks great.
The 4*4's were originally sunk into cement and then the town came and said that we couldn't do that so we had to cut the 4*4's off at the case and now it's just sitting on the concrete bases in each of the 4 corners
Great greenhouse, awesome share!
Thanks so much!
Fabulous!! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Looks really great. We've collected the windows already. I wonder how long it will take to build it 🤔 8 months is quite a long time, but I think with us it will even take longer 😉
Hah well if you are only building in free time thats what really takes so long about it. If you had a few days off from work and could get it done ! when its going up if you have any photos on instagram tag us I would love to see them ! @oldreddingfarm
@@OldReddingFarm We're also building in our free time. So it will take quite a while.
I love it. It's so cute. I want one.
Make one ! 10/10
it's gorgeous - I love it :)
Hello, great building technique. How you attached your windows that doesn't have a frame?
There's a whole playlist that explains step by step ! Pretty sure this is the video I start hanging windows : ua-cam.com/video/WRMUKX9xF30/v-deo.html
Thanks for replying to my question about dimensions, we have some new patio doors that were in storage, would they work? Also is there any need for ventilation? I’m enjoying your videos 🥰
I think absolutely ! The ventilation question depends a little on what you will use it for. You will need some no matter what but it can be simple like just leaving your patio doors open. If you want to try to grow throughout the summer you'll need a lot to keep it cool. We use it almost exclusively for starting seeds so it's more important to keep them warm.
Thanks a bunch!
This would look amazing with a plant’s leaves, flowers, or vines paired on the outside.
Love this!
Fantastic !
Glad you like it!
That's Awesome, and very nice looking
Thanks!
Genius build!
Thank you !!
This is a fantastic concept...i love recycling...new subscriber here 🥰
Thanks so much! 😊
