Green House Project #4 "The Completion"

As the summer comes to an end

so does the construction of my 

Green house project

  I ripped-down 2x4's into 2x2's

then assembled frames

which fit between the uprights.

Once they were checked for proper fit, 

I stapled 4 mil. semi-clear plastic 

over the frame then trimmed with white

duct tape and stapled it again

The side panels were hinged for ventilation 

the front and back panels were securely affixed

to provide additional strength   

Now it's complete I get to spend more

time gardening

I've enjoyed building the greenhouse,

 as with every project 

I've learn something new

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my 

Green House Project 

Thank You

Step #1

Step #2

Step #3

1960's Rocker

With every new design comes 

new engineering that is meant to speed up production 

unfortunately when production is sped up

quality falls. 

This 1960's chair uses nuts and bolt system to 

secure the major components together.

The problem occurs when you have a lose

nut.

With a lose nut there is additional force placed on 

the joints for which they were not designed, resulting 

in failure. 

My plan was to fill the open pockets

with fitted pieces of hard wood

then to reattach the backrest with 

heavy duty screws.

With the repairs complete it was reassembled 

A fresh coat of Murphy's oil

it's ready for another 50 years.

Green House Project Part #3

The opportunity to add to the green house 

has come, whether a little at a time or

 all at once it will get done.  

I removed the brace and poly tarp I had temporally 

across the back and cleared the way for

a permanent back wall

With this project I have found it easier to 

pre-stain the lumber after cutting to length.

Using up all of the dark brown stain I had to use

some left over cedar stain to finish the job

With the soft top lifted I was ready to install 

the 2x4 framing.

To keep it simple I over lapped two pieces 

of glass fitted into the groove of the frame

which provides side to side coverage.   

With the glass framed in and an upper

cross boards in place

 it was time to reattach the soft top.

A look from the inside showing the new framing

that and my little garden

The next step will be to close it in completely  

Stay tuned for part #4
