Osprey Posted August 18, 2008 Here's some pictures that show the space. Final dimensions are 20ft.X16ft. = 320 sq.ft It will be built like a giant coldframe following the same roof pitch down to about 4 ft. at the endwall. I better get busy,winters coming fast!

Osprey Posted August 19, 2008 This is a follow up. It just took a loong time to get back on the project... The October rains and approaching winter are motivating me again. I still have a bunch more cacti to squeeze in before I cover it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osprey Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Late afternoon pictures. I'm sorry for the dirty windows Just about everything is planted and the top dressing is on. Next to the trowell in picture 1 are three Eileens in a row I planted today.I have 5 total in the bed. I'm trying to get multiples of the clones I especially like in the ground.

bit Posted September 7, 2008 The thing I like about Osprey, is that whenever I think I'm crazy with my cacti, I see one of his pics and remember there's always someone crazier! :D Respect sir! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Osprey Posted September 15, 2008 Watch out guys! I'm starting to frame it up! 2X6 rafters every 2 ft. only the left wall is in so far. the other two are just floating there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MindExpansion Posted September 15, 2008 Looks great so far man, I like the way you kept the slope of the roof going. G'Luck, look forward to seeing the finished product. What do you think you're going to cover it up with? Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yawning Man Posted September 15, 2008 *sigh* the dream of owning your own house. That aside, beautiful collection Osprey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadakuda Posted September 15, 2008 and your doing it with all the plants still there!!! nice work, i KNOW i would be dropping many things on something important! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Osprey Posted September 21, 2008 I worked all day in the rain getting the frame done. It's just about ready to cover with plastic. Total cost including plastic less than $200.00 Before I cover it, I will do the weeding and load all the plants in. To diss-assemble it,the joists come off and the 3 walls come off as complete units. The 3 walls will lean against the oppisite side of the building during growing season. I'm pretty happy with my little botanical garden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
