Our backyard greenhouse ALMOST survived the winter 🫣

[@jennyboda8421]

I’m so glad you give the epilogue! I always see these things and ask “but do they last?” This isn’t much maintenance for one year of having a greenhouse!

[@aspenackley]

It’s been totally great otherwise! 🪴

[@steffnic13]

Honestly, it looked really great with the replacement door. 🙏🏻

[@fariahcriss5696]

It really matches the tone of the wood so well, like it was designed to fit with that building

[@sugoiharris1348]

The door looks good for $30. I love discount and used home improvement stores. They have some of the craziest stuff for super cheap.

[@bonnie1303]

ReStore is genuinely my favorite store 😂 the mall is whatever, HFH and church thrift stores forever

[@auxz2jz158]

Plexiglass is actually not that expensive these companies are price gouging because of covid

[@timeforchange3786]

I remember buying it for like $18/sheet in the 90s. It's crazy!!!

[@marielaretivesiccard7162]

The repair looks awsome ...using recycled doors is so earth saving ...❤

[@Pinkpumpkingardener]

My dream ❤ 😅I’m just loving my mini plastic one at the moment 😅this is my dream greenhouse 😮❤🎉

[@TallulahBelle3276]

Great job! 👍🏽💯✨

[@sheiliaprather4006]

Like the repaired ones better.👍

[@All_Your_Fandom_Needs]

Honestly I like yhe original door color as it matches the greenhouse

[@bobibrown3358]

Im so glad you live in Canada in a province where it snows. We just got an acreqge and im looking for ideas for our back yard. Im so subscribing to you because i know you are dealing with the same weather cindutiins reagarsing planting floweres trees and having a green house.

[@nancynelosn5830]

Nice green house.

[@tsugima6317]

Maybe use stronger locks or more than one...a good deep deadbolt. Locks are not a thing to cheap out on.

[@pamelaharrison3196]

Beautiful green house

[@juliarose3048]

I also am living in Canada and am moved into our dream rental property in the country!! (Yay us! So excited!) the property comes with a green house that has been damaged by the last tenants. Hopefully they haven’t torn it down (I asked “please leave it! I’ll fix it!”) it’s made out of old windows and there’s more I can use to replace the broken windows. Will this make a good greenhouse?

[@onetruesoldiervt3686]

That is a very nice build hope it serves well

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Beautiful!

[@musiqclub9725]

I would like to see what and where you guys are!!

[@MariaDryna]

Wow, all my Habitat ReStores are SUPER EXPENSIVE.

[@myzjed5576]

Greenhouse 2.0. BOOM!!

[@bonniekathleen6231]

Beautiful ❤️

[@teridelnero9606]

Cute!

[@DanceintheRaine666]

* Ditto❤ I wanted to comment on virtually the same thing as your top comment...and further give you kudos for sharing the "failure"/"temporary setback" in order to further HELP people by showing the problem you experienced. It is so much more helpful/honest/COOL to include this experience. The "silver lining" of negative life experience(s) ~ and a psychologically healthy way to gain a positive benefit from mistakes ~ for by HONESTLY SHARING your experience with others ~ you give preemptive advice that can/will help others. Those younger/less established/ less experienced than you GENUINELY BENEFIT from such shared honesty/experience and CAN thereby AVOID repeating your minor setback (should they choose to listen/heed your experience). I ALSO wanted to comment on the BEAUTY of your DESIGN, particularly as you worked with "found materials". I've often found in my own life and projects that being mindful of WASTING (both money and more importantly one's TIME) pushes you to be FAR MORE open-minded and CREATIVE in your designs. I love the "Art Noveau" aesthetic (which is also the Japanese aesthetic): if an object is FUNCTIONAL it might as well be BEAUTIFUL as well. Investing HOURS (or in the case of my log cabin the 25 YEARS in which we searched for viable affordable property) in the design phase will reap incalculable GAINS in the FINAL CONSTRUCTION. BEAUTY and ART makes me FEEL HAPPY. The definition of ART I love best is "ART is that which evokes STRONG EMOTION": SIMPLY it makes the audience FEEL. I CANNOT help but feel HAPPY seeing your BEAUTIFUL GREENHOUSE. I ALSO feel the passion and love you invested in the design and construction phases. A very lovely SHORT. WELL DONE. Another CANUCKian commenting.

[@rocky1raquel]

I could live in there!

[@zafiroelsarcastico]

I wanted to know if you have the design? is to create one like that. I really liked how it looks.

[@coachsheeluh]

Does it stay warm on its own or does it need a heater?

[@Eitan-ri7qh]

This green house is very beautiful! What Happened to the pineapple you were growing?

[@aspenackley]

It’s doing great!! I’ll make a video in the upcoming weeks 🍍

[@dariusneal9495]

I love plants and dont know a lot but am lucky to keep everything green and alive. So how do you keep you greenhouse warm in winter?

[@michellel564]

It looks nice I'd like to have it in my backyard 😉

[@watermelonlover745]

Glad I live in FL. You spit and stuff grows

[@michellehenderson42]

Very nice

[@scotthill1600]

Did 30 hours of community service at a habitat for humanity, worst job I’ve ever had besides bojangles. Hellish place to work

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

How much was that greenhouse or was it a diy?

[@CandycaneBeyond]

What is the average temp in winter inside the greenhouse?

[@jamesf1165]

What is the topical winter temperature inside the greenhousel?

[@henrydgolsan5517]

you guys are extremely handy, what the heck!

[@MsBaztastic]

So the glass around the door and the door itself were the only plexi-glass that broke?

[@jake2102]

Do you live in Vancouver? Lol is there heat?

[@gonsalomon]

Can't you guys buy acrylic sheets instead of plexiglass? Bet it won't crack as often, but you'll need to crack that savings for once and never again, hopefully 😅

[@djSmokeShow]

WHoaaaaa wait a minute, a sheet of plexi is now $360???? That is absolutely insane.

[@lexitayte]

😍

[@TheRealMostMoon07]

How big is your green house. In feet? ❤

[@Jentri-y2u]

Did it get hail damage

[@fayex314]

Ka G G? 🤨

[@nourdraw1548]

You should use polycarbonate sheets, it doesn't break like glass. BTW, the price has gone way to high because of covid ( glass shields)

[@DonkeyDongs]

Twinwall polycarbonate is great and has great transparency and rigidity

[@divinenonbinary]

😮 That’s wild, over here all covid related materials went way down in price while it was full on

[@DonkeyDongs]

@@divinenonbinary We're from America, where greed and money take precedence over people's lives, education, healthcare, therapy, dental care, food, and shelter. Republicans have even cut school lunches for poor children. We live in a heartless country.

[@y0nd3r]

Where is the inexpensive stuff?

[@pibblesnbits]

Polycarbonate will oxidize and yellow in the sun.

[@misshoneychurch8153]

Beautiful!

[@shbrnlsha]

now i really want to see their whole backyard, all the things they renovated/make together, like its so pretty and aesthetic

[@ethancoley5521]

From watching videos (at this point anyway) everything in their garden seems like it’s very disconnected, feel kinda odd

[@blondbear2]

This how you learn. Had the fact that you were able to use a reclaimed door , BRAVO. Looks great.

[@madisondenucci]

i don’t hate the new door, i like how it matches the vibes of the greenhouse if you do paint it maybe a darker brown rather than a red undertone

[@_Julie_Bee]

Honestly, my dad used a bunch of thrifted doors and windows to build his and repainted then all. It came out so nice and strong!

[@ijustwanttosleepnow]

That’s the best way to do it.

[@ijustwanttosleepnow]

And most cost effective.

[@_Julie_Bee]

@@ijustwanttosleepnow thank you! ☺️

[@SaltwaterMom3]

What wood and treatment did you use? That color is amazing! I love the look of the entire greenhouse project.

[@FTSKitty]

What stain is that?! Love all your vids btw. 🥹

[@BrightestBlessings7899]

How did your plants do?? Where in Canada? I am in Eagle Valley Kootenai Mountains BC.

[@clairebarker3978]

🎉 😢 I don`t know, I live in Houston, TX!! 😢

[@arkadandfortuna1582]

I keep getting this account on my feed, I’ve asked for the plans or advice so I can build one as well but no answer. 😢

[@kylaw2593]

I didn’t know Habitat for Humanity had stores of thrift building parts lol

[@danielleterry2331]

They have a lot of cool stuff I found a nice curio cabinet there

[@cececola]

Smart choices!!!! Giving the door another life was such a great idea ❤

[@wendywhite2642]

Gorgeous job!

[@RubyPuerto-ln7wd]

I love your video ❤🎉

[@michellereed5943]

Thanks for the update and inspiration.

[@zackcamara8688]

Can you give us a link for the blueprint???? I would love to build this on my property 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@gailrothermund9209]

Would you share your building plans for your greenhouse. It is beautiful. ❤

[@mycrazyaklife]

I'm looking to build an outdoor greenhouse here in Alaska...what kind of insulation did you use?

[@leahtv7778]

We want to see the plants grown and growing

[@natashademers]

This video helped so much! When do you think your next basement renovation video will be out? I can’t wait! 😊

[@aspenackley]

Probably another week or 2 before an update! The plumber is currently working on the new bathroom while we start picking finishes and then an electrician has to come so I’ll share an update as soon as we can!! ❤️

[@farstrider79]

Thanks for shopping at the Restore! I've been an employee for 17 years down in NC. Which store is that?

[@Ericscadi88]

I swear you guys have like infinite land. It’s like you guys live in Minecraft.

[@Admiral_tintin]

If all you had was a door issue, you in great shape. I would be more concerned with it yellowing overtime.

[@TheCheif420]

I would suggest polycarbonate over plexiglass. They are both clear plastic like materials however poly carbonate is much more durable and withstands more impact. also your plexiglass will break down overtime in the sun and start to fog over where as the polycarbonate will stay clear for much longer allowing more sunlight in. The polycarbonate is significantly more expensive but I would suggest going to a glass distributor and buying it in bulk that way they will cut it down for you and you will save a lot of money in the long run. The poly carbonate may also be called Lexan

[@lisahoshowsky4251]

I was going to say, wow that’s a really expensive greenhouse but I guess if you got it off someone that makes a lot more sense! Although that price is a good bit higher than it was pre-2020.

[@SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Thanks so much

[@hosseinzabihian2948]

Do you have any recommendations on its thickness? Also, what material is better for the frame? Wood or aluminum

[@jadese33]

Where abouts in Canada? A Vancouver winter is very different than a montreal winter 😅

[@clintoncooper2458]

You could add like a criss cross pattern inside the windows where they flex alot to prevent future cracks!

[@ijustwanttosleepnow]

You’re better off buying windows off or getting them for free from someone doing a renovation and making one out of that. It will be your best bet in withstanding Canadian temps either way the season swings.

[@blu2697]

I was like wow you built an expensive greenhouse with that plexiglass but then you were like wow😂

[@CosmicDuskWolf]

I'd probably just get the glass that is appropriate for the winter.

[@solmon9673]

Woow.. buy a pineapple seedling. Or young shoot and pit it in ..it will do amazing inside

[@MG-uj4cd]

Do we need to get permit to put this in our garden please ? I also want to buy the little house where they put gardening tools but I don’t know where to get the permit ? Any body knows.

[@pistolwhip.4167]

Dope repair! Learned something new today thank you!

[@Mark-fl3kx]

I don’t see how a single layer of thin plexiglass can hold much heat in your green house.

[@terpz47]

This is why you shouldn't take TikTok's advice...

[@danlloyd3314]

acrylic expands/contracts more than polycarbonate, itll grow up to an inch /8'long sheet FYI

[@PAINT_S_CAPES]

Wow

[@melissatrader8528]

Here's a little tip you can take tape I would put clear tape and an x pattern on a glass this way if it does blow open and slam it doesn't shatter

[@lorisutherland7728]

How are you keeping the plants warm during the winter?

[@TheiaTrading]

Omg how do I build one of these I love it and I don't have Canadian winters

[@alonsougalde1379]

Do I have weed barrier under the rocks? Oh man I want a green house yours is so cool

[@amritsingh2171]

Just curious. How thick is your pexiglass?

[@duckyday1099]

How do you heat in winter please👋🇺🇸 TN.

[@xxxstormwolfxxx3682]

Hopefully it doesn’t happen again! This will help me if this happens to me too!

[@aspenackley]

We shouldn’t have any other door issues!! With the Dutch style we initially built there wasn’t a proper way to seal them closed so it’s our own fault 😅 but I’ll update if anything else happens to the greenhouse!

[@eduardochavacano]

It looks beautiful. No flooring?

[@bryang5412]

You should buy tempered glass, amd have it professionally installed, especially if you're in a high wind area.

[@ThisTall]

Polycarbonate sheets don’t scratch or crack nearly as easy.

[@diannajohnson-mochalkin6475]

How did you hear this in the winter, or just warmth from the sun?

[@lay6745]

What is the lowest temperature you have seen in the green house?

[@Lyric-central16]

How do you keep the temperature up in winter?

[@Hans-yb5jc]

If this is a greenhouse then why is it brown ? Disapoint

[@cesmith48]

Yes, do the ceiling tiles open to allow air circulation?

[@JosieThenFarmer]

I’m Dutch, but what are Dutch doors? Never heard of them😅 the greenhouse looks great btw! 💕

[@Vikingwerk]

The doors they had are usually called French doors where I’m from, so I was confused also! Fyi, in the USA, Dutch Doors refers to a door that is split in the middle horizontally, so the top can be opened separately, leaving the bottom closed, and are often used in barns so the top can be open for ventilation, while the bottom keeps animals in. French doors are the double doors that latch to each other, rather than being in their own door jams. In my experience, French doors like they had on the greenhouse are really hard to make seal and latch well, they tend to have problems like they had here.

[@donnasmith8082]

Really nice job

[@aspenackley]

Thank you Donna!

[@rosalindaperez2747]

$30 that's awsome, it looks nice🙂

[@Donuts_random_stuff]

I have a greenhouse related question: Why is it called “green house” because it’s not green and it’s not a house😂

[@mariaalsalim66]

It’s a little house for plants.. that are green?
