Another winning project by Steve. Two sets of shelves to hold my seedlings in the greenhouse. They really turned out lovely and I can hardly wait to put them to use. 

Thanks Steve!!

 

 He got all crafty with the recycled wood and built the whole thing out of ripped up pallets.

 

 Slatted shelves make cleanup and ventilation easier, which will help prevent dampening off, molds and mildews.


Spines running along the tops of the shelves will support grow lights used to supplement the low light intensity here in the Pacific Northwest.

 Another busy day! We completed our greenhouse doors and attached them.


 The doors were constructed on 2x2 frames and slatted with pallet wood.


We had some eye-hook clasps left over from a quail tractor project that didn't pull through, so we used them to secure our greenhouse doors.


We picked up a few 3-point hinges from Lowes and screwed them right through the plastic stapled to the door. 


Beautiful! We decided to go with the split level doors so that when it gets too hot in the greenhouse, we can open one or both top doors for ventilation, without compromising the security of the greenhouse. We want a cool breeze, but no dogs.

And so the hard work begins! Time to rip pallets to build our beds.


Wouldn't have been able to do it without my new old truck. It's only a year younger than I am, so we understand each other pretty well. I've got big plans for this baby involving a seafoam green paint job, a neon pink shag interior reupholstering and some sweet wooden slat bed retaining walls. :-D
