I am currently nursing an injury, therefore no cabin video. I've been meaning to post this Greenhouse full build video so here you go!
For those of you wondering, I built this from scratch without much planning. Mistakes were made, but quite honestly it turned out great. I used free recycled windows, pallet wood, old metal roofing which was also free, and a screen door I took from my own house. The whole thing ended up costing over $1000 since pressure-treated wood and the roof got fairly expensive. Feel free to ask questions. The greenhouse is already in its second year and it's doing great. I want to add a gutter this year to collect rainwater, and I want to stain the wood to protect it.

This is the definition of the term “slap it together” thanks for the entertainment, stealing the storm door from the house to put on your build made my day
What ever works. Loved thee build. Nice job.
I thought maybe the storm door was from the neighbor's house. Lol
Only recommendation is to put up a vapor shield between the house and the greenhouse. That shared wall is going to see much more condensation and moisture now that it’s part of a greenhouse.
Great point 🏆
Yep, my ex tenant ruined the siding on the back of my house doing one out of plastic. Wise words.
that was my 1st thought too.
Oh! Now you tell him! Lol good point.
Can he add the barrier now?
Please consider putting up proper metal flashing that ties in from the siding to the roof of the green house. Speaking from experience of renovating other people's homes, you're creating an area for water penetration into your home. It becomes really expensive and less than a couple hundred bucks in sealant and proper flashing will save you from all of that. Please consider it. Loved the greenhouse, looks great! Thanks!
Copy that!
I agree🎉
Not to mention that block wall is already compromised, notice the cracks and possible settling
@@WoodnessGoodness You wouldn't happen to be a veteran would you? Former army captain here.
I was thinking the same thing. Stressing me out watching it. 😂
I think it's the most honest to god DIY video out there. In reality, it's how 80% of us in the real non-workshop world puts stuff together. The best entertainment was the trimming of the window frames. Never change what you do buddy
I appreciate that!!! Mistakes were obviously made but hey, better on the next one right???
Wood be rude not to buddy
lol
Refreshing to see someone working alone and without a load of workshop equipment, well done
Awesome! Would be especially cool to add a rainwater collection system with a gravity fed hose into the greenhouse
I am late to the game on this and was thinking the same thing!
I'm doing that with mine.
Yes I would do that too.
Thousands of pounds worth of good timber, all gone to waste!
@@philtucker1224 A step to being self-sufficient is never a waste.
I respect the fact that you gave all the safety police a conniption fit when you busted out that chainsaw😂
😂😂
omg I panicked lol
OMG how about the nail gun over his head? I'm like all of this is a safety No-No. Glad you are ok.
And I also winced as he used his foot as a mini sawhorse while using the crosscut saw.
You can see your a very experienced sawyer, and familiar with how to handle your saw!! I was impressed, but I know I couldn’t handle that. I know some that would be able to do that!😊
Doing that by yourself is pretty amazing.
Talented people always make it look easy. You are gonna have a Honey Do List for the rest of your life.
That's bang for the buck right there. Well done. Just keep an eye on the snow load or pop in a mid-span winter brace beneath. Now you need a gross of mason jars!
I laughed at how you've got all your tools attached to you, even your headphones on your leg, safety glasses behind your head. Ready for anything. Epic greenhouse. Thanks for including the growing plants. Love the video
My roommate has been collecting windows for a while now. Using reclaimed pallet wood will save some money too. His might not be as lovely but it will certainly be as useful. Thanks for the inspiration. 😊
The fact that this looks so easy and simple when you do it proves just how much hard work you've put in and how handy you are! A great example of make it simple but execute it well. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Thanks so much 😊
My favorite part of that video was how psyched you were when the triangle piece fit... I know that feeling well.
Ahhahahahahah ❤️❤️❤️
I laughed to hard when I saw that….. and thought, “Kids!!”❤️🐝🤗
Loved watching this. No talking. Each stage shown nicely, for those of us just learning. And inspired sone great discusssion in threads. Well done and thankyou.
wow you’re so talented and made the entire build looks simple.
I am only one minute into this video and I am already loving the fact that you aligned the sawing sounds with the beat of the music :)
Lol
Splendid job! My jaw dropped. Congrats, now that's what I call talent.
I did notice the Huegelkulture method of raised bed filler at the inside bottom. Keeps the costs lower as less actual raised bed soil or compost is needed. Well done.
This deserves more views . It looks great!
That power nailer is so useful when doing solo projects. I need to get one. Not to mention how many times I've whacked my thumb.
Нужно очень внимательно следить за перемещениями молотка. Если видишь что молоток направляется в сторону пальца - нужно моментально ,быстренько переместить палец в другое и более безопасное место !
@@vladimirvladimirovich8081 oh yes. Most people need severe injury only once to remember to be careful.
Great Job WG. The dance at 18:35 was so funny btw.... PEACE!
I love how happy you are getting your fan in haha 😆❤🤙
Great Job! Well Done. Had an idea about using the rain water from that down drain, off the rain gutter. In a barrel. Just a thought.......
You could also put gutters on and have it ran to a barrel with hosing to be able to be fed in for watering!!
I gotta say I do not impress easily, but this is absolutely gorgeous 😍 I'm so jealous. I'm going to build one similar.
You are the content creator I am looking for. Thanks for sharing information and improving lives and be more friendly to our environment.
Two thumbs up. Just a shame you can't like a video twice 👍👍
❤️❤️❤️
Oh how I want this ❤ All my old windows I have collected for many years are rotting because I don’t know how to build it and no one to help. Nice job, I love it !!!!
All u have to do is watch him and then try it. Your not gonna learn by not doing anything.
@@mhale-mi9iy not everybody can do such things.
Maybe this guy would come and build for you.
At least the glass itself won't rot. It would just need to be reframed
love this... one thing I would suggest based on passive design and my ex father-in-law (we were both Architects) is to use the space below the windows and at the apex of the roof to managw the temperature of the hot-house
Thanks for showing the struggles, too. Definitely a two person job, if a novice. Great Video and Greenhouse, saves thousands if DIY🏆
Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing ❤❤😊
Love the REAL LIFE use what you have build. Great job❤
Thanks for putting the small piece of trim above the vent fan, nicely done for an unconventional build, looks good. I have one to build but for the price of wood. Thanks for the inspiration.
That simple trellis idea with the cattle panel tho 👌🏻 very nice. The entire greenhouse came out super man 👍🏻
Very clean build with exception of the missing vapor shield as others have mentioned! Good ventilation and thanks for linking your fan/thermostat. That corrugated metal is a great find and the bed design using it will last a long time. Also nice to source the free nutrients with the hidden hugelkultur and found soil.
Thank you!!
My question is how do the pollinators get in and out? I've been thinking of doing something similar, but much smaller.
@@Mustangmom2k Peppers and tomatoes don't need pollinators and insects will always find a way in, plus the ventilation openings and the open door.
@@WoodnessGoodnessОтличная теплица! И грядки теплые крутые! У нас в России на таких грядках в Сибири выращивают томаты, перцы, огурцы, клубнику. Вопрос: почему вы не проложили рубероид между деревом и камнем? Без гидроизоляции нижний брус будет гнить. 🎉вы меня вдохновили❤
My OCD has kicked in and although I love what you've done, I wish on the long wall you had put the three tallest windows, then inserted the two shortest ones to break it up, then the other three that are somewhat shorter than the first three on the left. It would have been more balanced. I do love this though. However, if it was mine, I would look at it every day and want to tear out those windows to balance them more, but I realize it's my own OCD causing the issue. Awesome greenhouse and you make it look sooooo easy to build! So having greenhouse and raised bed envy!!!
you made it look so easy 😍
Love your joy! So fun to watch and dream!
Love your enthusiasm when the cuts are right! This is going to be so cool for your plants.
I think you've got this one " Just Right." Not too much (structure), plenty of light, very creative. Yep, Just right. No doubt about it. I know the plants are happy. ✨✨🌸✨✨
Yes I will try a smaller version. I have one huge window from a hotel for one side and 3- 78x36" a.d a storm door. And recycled boards. And my sin will surely help put it together. Bless you for sharing.
I agree with ColAlbSmi. I think the build is pretty awesome but you need some sort of moisture barrier and some flashing between the house and the roof of the greenohouse in order to keep the water from between the two structures.
I have only discovered your channel a few days ago but I’ve been watching a whole Lotta your stuff so far and just to see the few bills you’ve done and then coming up to this greenhouse in the greenhouse you just whipping it together like it’s no big deal it’s incredible to see how much you’ve grown as a builder how fast you’re doing everything
Thanks for the update, awesome greenhouse! Very impressive on how you got those walls up on your own! Very nice build. Cool way you made the raised beds with the sides made out of metal. Looked great. Nice cross ventilation with electric fans. 👌 Lot of hard work and very nice completion. 👍 Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃
Congratulations! Amazing job!
the sound of rain on that is nice. built my first greenhizzy out of the same plastic. 5yrs ago. its still in great shape. enjoy 🙏
Thank you for making this video!!!! I’ve been looking to build something exactly like this attached to my house and part of my back patio. Love love love this! Thank you! Good job doing all of this by yourself!!!!
Big "Well Done!!" doing it all on your own. Even had you had a helper, would recommend tacking a 2 x 4 at either end of your walls holding it upright as you join your corners of end walls. And the beginning of digging the grass out along your string guides, would be helpful to take a can of orange spray paint and mark your guidelines and then remove the string that was in the way of you shoveling.
Nice build! Looking forward to see whats growing in the greenhouse next!
YOU ARE AN AMAZING CARPENTER!
This is so relaxing to watch 😊
I'm really impressed with the greenhouse, you could pick up windows and do that to any size you wanted.
I'm very impressed with how you made this work so well for you and can't wait to put it in to action myself! ❤😊❤😊
Love the result!! Amazing , hard work pays off!!!
Wow, had this in your hip pocket eh, totally awesome build!
On second thought, I want my windows back.
Awesome build young man :) I have a small 8+8 built on the back door of my cabin so I can start all my bedding plant early and it has worked great because I just heat it with the extra heat from the woodstove as it warms in spring,
HA. HA. "That's factory." Love it. You're a genius!
I love gardenhouse.... that's my favorite and my dream....
Awesome work. I really like the greenhouse.
Looks great, well done mate! Love that you kept the little celebrations dances on successes in the video.
This is amazing ! Really solid work here, man. Inspiration flowing !
It never occurred to me to build it against the house. It will probably keep both the house and greenhouse warmer that way. Nice build. I can't wait to get out of my apartment and onto a nice property so I can do these projects.
Look at him go, the natural handyman. Nice job dude!
Totally enjoyed your build of this greenhouse,Thank you so much !
Absolutely gorgeous!
6:36 Already better than anything I’ve ever built. * Takes drink off coffee then hits PLAY again * 14:27 Pops has a better bod than most 30-40 years olds nowadays * takes another drink off the bean juice * 16:40 something relaxing about hearing that rain (since I’m only watching and not working in it). * takes another swig * 26:46 Simply awesome. Now I’ll go get a refill on my coffee and think about jumping off a cliff.
😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh man, you are so funny, love it!!!
Sir, you’re a PRO! Impressive work!!
WOW! My dream, I have saved windows for this. GREAT!!! I admire your talent!
This is a dream! I’d love to have this in my backyard!!! And you make it look so easy! Just beautiful! New subscriber.
This was mesmerizing!! I want one! 🤣You should be very proud of this beauty, love the rustic qualities combined with the new technology. Just spectacular. 👍
Oh yes! Crispy, fresh WG content!
Awesome update Dr Woodness, thanks! 🪴
Very nice indeed!! Love that you're growing your own food in greenhouse you built. I'm getting ready to do the same thing and I'm so excited :)
It’s awesome sir! Great job on building this greenhouse!
Good job. I enjoyed watching you build it.
AWESOME build, it turned out so good. Enjoy all the plantings and seed starting this year!
That’s factory! 😎 awesome build brother 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Outstanding! Thank you ❤
I have to admit I was skeptical how this would turn out, and boy was I impressed! Great job!
Fantastic build. Thanks for the inspiration.
A wonderful recycled window terrace.
You are an amazing man! 😮 beautiful greenhouse
Great job, perfect ❤
This is probably one of the best Greenhouse's I have seen.
Absolutely superb every time I said you forgot something. You did it I said oh goodies he's got this down.❤
Great job beautiful!!!❤
That is very cool. Fantastic job
It is very cozy inside with the plants 👍🏽
It is hilarious watching you. I went through some mistakes when I built my backyard office. The hammer almost dropped on my head because I forgot to take it down with me when I moved the ladder. It is tough to do thing by yourself but it is so rewarding and you learn a lot.
❤️❤️❤️
I'm just admiring that which I wish I could do. My measuring and excitement to finish a project seem to conflict and it always looks like the house that Ziggy built
Who's Ruth?

Absolutely crushed it homie!!
Haha thanks! Love your username!!!!! Hahahaha
I think I rode the chairlift with your doppelganger today in Vermont.
Hahaha let’s gooooooooo! I always wanted to be a snowboard bum….
Que bien te a quedado este invernadero!! Que bien!! Y que buenos resultados está dando. Te felicito!! Y seguir cultivando ricas verduras.💪😍😘😘❤️ Un abrazo fuerte desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
BEAUTIFUL!
Das ist so schön geworden. Danke fürs teilen
You really made that look easy!
Looks amazing! Well built! Dreaming of having space to collect old wood and build something like this with it. In the meantime - i'll be watching others like you do it!
Beyond imagination to learn the sequence without a lecture as I see logic of brace Cheers mate from aus
wow i love this. to see u do it all yourself mostly and with reclaimed windows...looks stunning. i want to make a mini version to grow my seedlings. can't wait to see how your cucumbers do
You had me 2 min. in when the wall fell. Yep...I like this guy. I get this guy.
