brackets were used to attach the roof rafters. this is the south wall


north wall


the metal corners on the northwest corner of the roof


the bent over metal overhang along the north edge of the roof


the northwest corner of the roof, looking up from below


the northeast corner of the roof


the roof rafters are now painted


everything in the greenhouse is now fully painted with primer. i am done with the primer! it took two gallons of primer. theres about an inch or so left in this second can.


caulking on the top of glass. it is really hard to get pictures of the caulk in focus.


caulking bottom of south window. its not easy to master caulking either. towards the right end of the photo you can see i somehow got an air bubble in there.




caulking between the glass on the bottom of the south wall


we could have turned this post to avoid having to fill this hole with caulk


this post the hole went all the way thru, so it'd have been on one window or the other even if turned


shims were cut and glued into place on the upper south windows. (held in place with tape until the glue dried))


caulking, upper south glass


the greenhouse as it currently stands, north wall


south (east) wall


southwest corner. some planks on the red fence were removed. maybe some day in the future i'll move the fence post to the left. but for now i like the red fence where it is and dont want to take it down. so it stands as is. theres ALWAYS more projects...


like removing oil based paint from the glass (oops)



at this point the roof eaves are still open and needing to be closed up. south wall


north wall open eaves

greenhouse post #13 painting and caulking

inside walls painted






taped off the glass on the inside of the roof in preparation for painting rafters


what it feels like in the greenhouse in the sun


window caulk, clear for the vertical window edges


we placed strips of foam between the glass and the posts on the vertical edges, then caulked over them.


its difficult to get pictures of caulking, especially clear caulking


the bottom of the windows needed shims




white window caulk for the top and bottom of the glass


caulked the three windows on the east, north, and west sides




the upper windows on the south side all need shims


pushing the glass flat against the post, you can see the gap

after 3 days of rain, some raindrops on the south end of the roof

water leak

put the new handle on the door (the old one didnt work)


had to cut, paint, and install a bump out for the door latch


reversed screen and glass in door so that glass is on bottom and screen is on top. i did this so the dogs dont jump up and put their paws thru the screen if i'm inside the greenhouse and they are not. the sliding glass pane to close the screen is in the lowered/open position in this photo.


painted plywood on west wall


painted plywood on north wall
