Hello all, :)

A few houses away from my house lived an old lady, her husband had passed away a few years ago.
One day, the old lady offered me to take her husband's greenhouse and put it back up at my place.
The greenhouse was abandoned, some windows were broken and brambles and nettles had taken over. 🤔 🤥

So I set to work.

I took her home with some friends.

I wanted to put it against this wall, but the blue part of the wall would get a lot of water.

So I came up with the idea to cut it in two...

to modify the roof.

The rest is self-explanatory.

Very nice, loved how you were able to repurpose the greenhouse to your liking.

What happened to the other half?

Thank you very much for your comments. ;)
The other half will be installed against the garage wall, the same way as the first.

I use this kind of heating.
