ANOTHER GREENHOUSE?!?!?! It's done, it's FINALLY DONE...
Come hang out with us as we build an adorable 8X10 back yard greenhouse from scratch! And YOU can build one too! This is our 2nd greenhouse build as most of you know...I was SO sad when we sold the farmhouse and I had to let go of my wonderful greenhouse that Joe built me after only using it ONE spring! But...a little bit of persuasion aka begging and some puppy dog eyes & I was finally able to convince Joe to build me another one! YES!
**WE DO NOT HAVE PLANS for this build** I gave Joe the dimensions I wanted & he built to those specs! This video is the only instruction we have to offer. We're happy to answer questions though!
Gardening in the greenhouse is awesome! The plants THRIVE in the warm temperature & the greenhouse protects the plants from pests AND the outside elements like storms that can bring torrential down pours and terrorizing winds...which can be detrimental to your growing crops!
This greenhouse is probably 1/2 the size of the farm greenhouse BUT it will give us a lot of growing space regardless & most importantly, it'll give me somewhere to spend my time in the cold winter months to still be creative in the garden & continue providing goodies for our bellies!
This greenhouse took us about 2-1/2 wks to build...I actually couldn't believe how fast we did it but that's just how we roll!
We spent roughly $2500 to build this beauty. A lot of things I got super cheap on Offer Up like the door for $10, the antique ladder was cheap (can't remember exactly how much I paid because I got it years ago!) and the pink vintage sink I snagged for ONLY $25! Yeah baby!
I hope you enjoy this video, Joe & I worked really hard and we were excited to share it with you!
Drop me a comment below if you have any questions about how we built our greenhouse!

Joe did a wonderful job building everything.

[@Mud2Mountains]

I need to see Joe’s build every step off the way…got the footer, walls and plastic walls with foam but missed the rafter build. I’m 58 and female…and I do the building😂😂. Trying to learn more.

[@rochelleatkinson7733]

Good job Joe! Thanks for sharing

[@amyharris7337]

This turned out so great! I love all of your cottage touches on it that make it a cozy and inviting space to work in.

[@heartcompass369]

I am gobsmacked by your design, and craftsmanship, you are truly artists! I'm enjoying noting how the extra inch you work on takes your projects and extra mile... I tend to "close enuff" it a bit too often.. and I'm just smiling on all you projects and learning.. Thank you! AND when you go to sell.. your going to get it all back in SPADES... ( gold plated ones!)

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Betty! What a very kind comment. Thank you so much for leaving such a nice message for us! And actually we JUST sold this property a couple of months ago & are headed very soon to our forever homestead in Alaska…but you’re right, we made a good profit on this home. We made back what we put into it & then some! 😊

[@sandyp2485]

Wow, what an extremely adorable and useful greenhouse! I live in Virginia also so I know what you mean about the rain....and the summer heat. But it certainly makes things grow well. I like spring and fall planting best; less bugs and humidity.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Hi Sandy! Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun building this. Its been a great addition to the garden!

[@royrussell8531]

You both are awesome and Joe is the man, enjoy it!!!

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

😂 Thank you!

[@RonnieToo]

I may have missed it but it might be a good idea to install a ground fault interrupted (GFI) especially where water and electricity in the same area. Once water starts evaporating and condensing on cold surfaces or as temperatures drop water starts dripping and with the pathway wet there is a chance that someone may get electrocuted ⛈ Other than that I love what you have done... 👍

[@hope2029]

You are so blessed to have such a husband! Both willing and able to work 'on the same page'.☺

Hello there, I just found your channel. I recently retired myself (starting a second career now). Moved to Southern Chesapeake, VA… onto 8AC. We are loving it here!!! We are setting up for lots of different animals, a large garden, dozens of fruit trees, bees, greenhouse, Aquaponics, etc. It is sooo nice to be able to put some roots down finally.

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Hi there! How exciting, I'm so happy for you! Sounds like you will have an awesome lil homestead! I agree with you about putting down roots. We've moved every 3-4 yrs for over 20 yrs. I'm so excited to finally settle down! :)

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Hi Robin! Thank you for your service friend! Yes, we are very much looking fwd to Joe’s retirement this yr & finally after 20 yrs being able to put our roots down! 😊

[@gemgari]

Great build. Can you provide parts list or plans? You did a great job. Hey Joe you’ve learned the key to a great marriage: happy wife, happy life! Gary

[@HomeFreeAlaska]

Hi there! So I actually don’t have a parts list for this one! We were really shooting from the hip on this build. We purchased the wood & clear roofing panels in accordance with how big we wanted our greenhouse to be. And then of course we bought the self drilling roofing screws and roof panel “closure strips.” We bought some pavers to put down for the walk way as well. Thank you so much for watching & for your kind compliment on the greenhouse build! 😊
