    I am currently nursing an injury, therefore no cabin video. I've been meaning to post this Greenhouse full build video so here you go!
    For those of you wondering, I built this from scratch without much planning. Mistakes were made, but quite honestly it turned out great. I used free recycled windows, pallet wood, old metal roofing which was also free, and a screen door I took from my own house. The whole thing ended up costing over $1000 since pressure-treated wood and the roof got fairly expensive. Feel free to ask questions. The greenhouse is already in its second year and it's doing great. I want to add a gutter this year to collect rainwater, and I want to stain the wood to protect it.

    Only recommendation is to put up a vapor shield between the house and the greenhouse. That shared wall is going to see much more condensation and moisture now that it’s part of a greenhouse.

    Please consider putting up proper metal flashing that ties in from the siding to the roof of the green house. Speaking from experience of renovating other people's homes, you're creating an area for water penetration into your home. It becomes really expensive and less than a couple hundred bucks in sealant and proper flashing will save you from all of that. Please consider it.
    Loved the greenhouse, looks great!
    Thanks!

It would have been more balanced. I do love this though. However, if it was mine, I would look at it every day and want to tear out those windows to balance them more, but I realize it's my own OCD causing the issue.

And the beginning of digging the grass out along your string guides, would be helpful to take a can of orange spray paint and mark your guidelines and then remove the string that was in the way of you shoveling.
