My greenhouse..

I mentioned this in a someone's journal, and Marianne thought you might like to see this....

I bought a "bus stop" for 100.00 on my local Craigslist.  The minute I saw it, I knew it would work perfectly for a greenhouse!  So, the work began...

We bought some really neat gadgets from Harbor Freight that open and close the windows automatically (window actuators).  They are filled with wax- when the wax gets warm the windows open and when it begins to harden (as the air cools) the windows close.  They were under 20 bucks, and are really life savers.  If you forget to open the windows once, you will have roasted plants!  I started most of my seeds in this and I was really happy to have it.

Re: My greenhouse..

Isn't that funny, I am always looking at them, wherever I go!  I have my eye on one in the Albany area with a "glass" roof....

Re: My greenhouse..

That is great!  It looks nice & I really like the wax to open & close because I would surely forget.
