Greenhouse: I'm being self indulgent, 1 by judy_michigan

I've been following this forum for awhile and enjoying it very much. Love the discussion on building one yourself. I was extremely fortunate last year. A neighbor had obtained a greenhouse from a school that closed here in Pontiac a few years ago. He decided that he didn't have enough interest in it to go through installing it so he gave it to me. It has been a long stressful project which involved a lot of investigation on the net finding out who the manufacturer was, buying their installation manual and parts list, having 42" footers installed (code requirement here), a concrete block wall built and then assembling the frame. Some pictures from September are at http://www.nitz.net/gallery/mygreenhouse. At every step of the way, there have been things to deal with. The latest is that I just had to order peices to go on the vent at the top of the greenhouse. But, still, I'm very excited with the prospect of having one probably by next summer. The glass is in storage and we probably won't start glazing it now til spring. Here is a photo I just took today for this forum.
