From Roosts to Roots: Coop to Greenhouse Makeover

Embark on a transformative journey with us as we breathe new life into our old chicken coop, turning it into a flourishing greenhouse oasis. In this captivating video, witness the evolution of our humble coop as it undergoes a stunning makeover.
First, we roll up our sleeves and dive into deconstruction, tearing down the old walls and roof of the coop to lay the groundwork for its grand metamorphosis. With careful precision, we reinforce the structure, adding sturdy studs and bracing to ensure its durability for years to come.
Next, we embark on the exciting phase of reconstruction, wrapping the entire structure in resilient 6mm plastic. This crucial step not only provides protection from the elements but also creates the ideal environment for nurturing our budding greenery.
But we don't stop there - with an eye for aesthetics, we elevate the exterior of the greenhouse using furring strips to achieve a charming board and batten look. The result? A visually stunning facade that seamlessly blends function with style.
Join us on this inspiring journey of innovation and renewal as we transform our old coop into a verdant haven of growth and abundance. From roosts to roots, witness the magic of the Coop to Greenhouse Makeover unfold before your eyes.

Greenhouse makeover looks great

[@johninalaska9563]

Hi guys, I really enjoyed this video, I definitely like how you are repurposing as much as you can, that's real homesteading. Richard reminds me of my dad, he was a big man and very quiet and relaxed until something made him mad then, watch out. He was a trapper all his life. Your daughter, Leeanne {SP?} reminds me of my sister when we were around her age, my sister had the same haircut. Aimee, you always seem to be happy when doing easy or hard chores. You guys are a wonderful homesteading family.

[@sharongarrick6209]

What a good idea…use of materials and having a place to keep your seedlings. Good repurposing. Isn’t it amazing how fast that space can warm up?

[@wendymoore7819]

Love the coop / greenhouse makeover!

[@mauricebrown9094]

Well done. I wish you all the success in the coming years for this greenhouse. Now you just need to look into constructing a root cellar to store your root crops too see you through those cold winter months. Maybe that could be connected to your house for easy access during winter. Sure would be something I would look into. Thank you.

Love your videos! We have a junk place on our acreage we call the bone yard. Pretty much everything is stored back there. It's fun when you harvest useful stuff! Temporary permanent......OK yall coined that phrase.

Very true!

[@joanbarber5384]

I just watched the last three videos you made because they never came up for me to watch. An old one of your videos popped up and I thought oh no what happened to you three since I haven’t seen any new videos. Strange the notifications were right. Loved all three of them. Thanks!
