    Yay for you! It's awesome to see what you can do with some skill and imagination. I love the fact you are repurposing the glass to make your greenhouse. It looks great!

    Very nice looking greenhouse. Ventilation is extremely important to avoid disease problems. How did you engineer cross ventilation in it?

    I have been following my husband in the military for twenty years. He finally retired and I would love to have something like this. It is beautiful.

    That is just beautiful. It was very sweet of your husband to make that for you. There is a lot of love in that greenhouse. I am sure plants were not the only things that were warmed up!
