    I visited the parents of a friend years back and they had one of these pre-fab glass solariums on the back of their house. It was winter with snow on the ground but the sun was shining and it was HOT in there. Good job Guys!!

    Looks awesome you got to show it after Molly puts her plants in it and gets it fixed up. Put those stone things on the bottom where the cement is would look really nice since you do the labor would be more affordable. You certainly must of paid attention to your Dad when you were growing up cause you have some excellent skills. Molly is lucky big difference between buying materials for a project and then when the labor is added in big price difference she is lucky to have a husband who knows something most guys are not very handy anymore. I know more than some of them and that isn’t saying much 😂.

    • @EmptyHammock
      @EmptyHammock  Рік тому

      It all depends on where its coming from. I suggest having someone on the outside spray it with a garden hose and watch from the inside. Start low and work your way toward the top. That will show you where it is coming in. Then, clean the area on the outside with alcohol then apply silicone.

      @@EmptyHammock thanks anyway but if u can give a ballpark or do another video with some real numbers I would appreciate it.
      The problem is there are a lot of not very handy people that want these things but don't know if they can afford it. So a base line figure would give us something to work with when we are getting estimates-
      A very handy person doesn't have to worry as much because most of the labor will be done themselves and the cost of materials is easier for them to figure out because of their experience.
      So I see a lot of these videos and they are just not helpful to people like me.

    • @EmptyHammock
      @EmptyHammock  2 роки тому

      The size solarium we installed would have been $25k+ to have it installed NOT including the foundation work and slab.. You could easily add another $20k for that. I cant give you the exact price we paid because it changes depending on what you want and the market. You can go to their website and easily put in what you want and get a price immediately at no cost. Hope this helps..
