Mate, what is a fair price to charge someone to build one of these? I got someone wants to build a bigger version, that he has already half assembled... almost certainly incorrectly.
Jeez mate, no idea really. I usually do everything I can to save money. It is fairly time consuming. It took me a day and a half of fiddling around. Probably just a carton of beer or a couple of hundred for your efforts.
@andyroo3022 haha. Y3ah, cheers mate. Ole mate cant figure it out, so asked me to come do it... I know these things are a nightmare, until you have done a couple. But a man's gotta eat, haha. I'll go see if I can snag it on the first try and make it worth while aye. Haha
Hi Andy😌🙌Nice growth you get on your cacti. The Mammillarias are large and healthy in your collection. I see you have a Echinopsis arachnacantha😌👏💖Beautiful yellow Flowers💞I'm surprised to see Copiapoas there. Do you move them to a shady cool place in summer?
Hi again Newman. The Copiapoa seem to tolerate the bright light and heat well. I have a red flowering Arachnacantha as well. Beautiful bright scarlet red flowers. I lost a few mammillaria, mostly due to rot from too much water. Overall, I don't lose many plants, I seem to be able to keep them happy.
Oh, really🤔You lost some Mammillarias to rot. That's interesting. I haven't lost any Mammillarias at all, but I lose my Astrophytums Ariocarpus to rot. I have Mammillaria mystax, perbella, magnimama, albilanata, marksiana. They actually enjoy the tropical humid summers, but definitely have a dry winter rest with a little water in winter. I also have a lot of elongatas too. My latest purchase is a cleistocactus colademononis which likes tropical conditions
Nice climate for Cattleyas Andy😃👏💞They definitely hate to be wet. A lot of Cattleya come from seasonally dry places of Brazil, and the Colombian species are found way up in the trees where they dry out fast after every rain. I enjoyed watching😌🤲🌟Your Epiphyllum cacti are big and healthy, beautiful💖
Hi Andy😌🙌Love the greenhouse😃👏💞You have a large collection there. Astrophytums are growing well aren't they. I saw a Melocactus, so it must be no colder than 15℃ there in Australia in Winter. Are you in Melbourne? Perth? The Cymbidiums are beautiful!😌🙌💖I have one that I made it through August😬👍The Dendrobium looks like kingianum. I love the fragrance.
Newcastle area NSW. Close to the ocean so It wont go down below 5 and 7 degrees C a few days in winter, however not for many days. It does get down to zero C only 30 minutes drive inland in the Hunter Valley. I keep most pretty dry through winter. The Dendrobium was a small cutting I purchased from a lady on Gumtree sales nearby, it does smell nice. We got a lot of rain this winter and not too cold. The greenhouse keeps most my cacti happy and dry when it's cold. I have some bigger Trichocereus and a monstrose variety, some big Cereus Repandus and aloes out in the weather. They don't seem to mind the extremes in weather. It gets very hot in summer. Some bad days with Westerly winds get 40 degrees C. Fortunately not too often.
You have lots of beautiful cactuses thanks for sharing 🫰🏻 Done watching 5:55

Great looking builds!
Very nice looking builds my friend. Nice approach to the air hoses as well. came out really nice. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with that wrecker too. Have a great week. -David
Very cool. Do the 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe next, like in Mad Max!

Thanks for showing the orientation of the extrusion. This will save me a massive amount of time. I was expecting to have to rebuild it twice over to get the extrusion facing the right way. Your video has been a massive help. Thanks again
Did he headbutt the camera? There's some gal who raises these guys, and they stick her all the time. Looks really painful
Beautiful flowers. I think your greenhouse is very beautiful. I dream of having one like it
Wow, what a beautiful Ariocarpus. Its flower is marvelous. It's still an expensive addiction for me😅. I also saw some Astrophytum around. They are my passion 😍.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I’ve never come across such obscure and shitty instructions and I was about to have a major meltdown trying to figure out what the eff I was supposed to be doing. ❤️
I had the 1980 XR80 - Dec '79 brand new
Nice collection 👍
Your set up its spot on and amazing I'm a starting cactuses enthusiast myself I aspire to have a a set up and variety as yourself keep it growing!!!! 🤟🤟🤟😁
Thankyou Victor. Very cold and raining a lot this month in Winter. I am mostly stopping watering now. 🌵🌵🌵
Hi Andy, thanks for the video. I am stuck on the side walls. Seems the cross beams do not have a hole to insert into at the bottom. Any help would be appreciated!
Not sure where you mean. The nuts slide into the ends of the beams profile. In the end notch. No holes.t slide them into the cut and and move them into position.
Boa tarde, que coleção interessante meu .. parabéns..belas peças..
Thanks. I went in the greenhouse today to check my cacti.. It has been very cold this winter and a lot of rain. The sun came out and it warmed up today.
Amoooo💚🌵
Boa noite, show ..já inscrito, like ...hugs from Brasil !
Cactus soil mixture? Plz tell me
I mix a good quality potting mix(or soil) 2 parts with 1 part Coarse river sand for good drainage. I feel the sand is necessary to prevent rotting when the soil breaks down. The grit allows for healthier root growth. I just tried it and it seems to work. Make sur not to use fine sand. Must be coarse gritty river sand. Make sure any pots have good drain holes and sometimes I put broken terracotta pot or concrete pieces in the pot before I put the soil mix inside.
What a beautiful cactus ❤❤❤
Blimey Andy 🙂 I have 3 meteorites, 2 that I bought and one that I found. Didn't know about the black light and radioactive minerals 😎 Is that a sulphur crystal? 🙂🙂🌵🌵
Ha another cacti grower also. Hi mate. Yes the yellow one is big Sulphur crystals. I also collected some good fossils of ferns, glossopteris leafs and horsetail stems. These plants were from the Permian period. Five minutes from my home there are old closed coal mines, part of the old Burwood Colliery in Newcastle NSW Australia. The coal seams are easily visible as layers in the ocean cliffs. I collected the fossils from the grey shale layers above and below the coal layers. The area has some old history to it, including a big old brick tunnel from the old train line for the coal. The line is now a walking track with some of the last remaining NSW coastal rain forest. The forest and its waterfalls run down to Burwood beach. Dudley beach further South can be driven to and has fossilised tree trunks on the ocean rocks. I recently walked down there and thought how lucky I am to live so close to the sea.
@@andyroo3022 Hi Andy 🙂 Yep, for some reason most of the cacti growers are into geology as well 😁Sounds excellent, we live on Cretaceous Chalk but have a coal mine underneath us (closed also) Not had a chance to visit a spoil heap yet. We're close to the coast too and have found the KT boundary in the coastal cliffs. There's a layer of shocked and blackened flint on top of the chalk 😮
@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus That is cool. Lets just hope we don't have a big impactor strike our planet in the immediate future', or we are all cactus.
bagus lagi! hurrah!
Thank you so much for this!!
thanks for your video! i've got one ready to install, hopefully I won't need to watch it ten million times during the assembly!keep up the good work!
Interesting to see the Ariocarpus flowering while grafted on Pereskiopsis. I've got tonnes of Pereskiopsis but not had a lot of success with the smaller, slower growing cacti as scions. Might try again with a few Astrophytum seedlings I've got.
Enjoy I hope they grow fast for you. I have not yet done any cactus grafting, just de grafts. I got these Arios already grafted as small seedlings on the bay of E auctions.
Fo u have a video on your greenhouse? Like how u constructed it? Why it works in your climate?
It gets very hot in the greenhouse in Summer. I open the door in the day and the roof window. I have to water the cactus a lot. Greenhouse is essential in winter. We get a lot of rain and it stays cold. If the cactus were outside they will die from root rotting. From cold wet soil. This month we have had a lot of very wet weather. I almost stop watering until Spring arrives. The cactus are happy in the greenhouse protected from cold rainy weather. Some big cactus are okay outside in Winter as long as the soil is draining away the water, or you keep then away from the rain. I live close to the ocean, so It usually only goes low as 5 to 7 degrees Celsius in Winter. At my friends farm near Cowra in Western NSW Australia it gets below freezing 0 degrees Celsius. No cactus growing there. Lots of Kangaroos, feral goats, deer and wild pigs. Thankyou Stephanie🌻

Thankyou. 🌵🌵🌵
Did you plant them from seed
I got these Ariocarpus already grafted from small seed grown plants. CactusGuys on eBay. I just type in Cactus Auctions and bid. They eBay cactus auctions mostly end on a Sunday night in Australia for the week. I purchased a few other cacti this way and usually get a good price. The Ario's arent cheap. I paid around $50 Aud. I got a lot of my Trichocereus this way too. They have grown big fast from small plants. I grew some Astrophytum, some Golden barrels and some Lophophora from seeds. I believe Ariocarpus are very slow to grow from seed as are Lophophora. Ariocarpus are very slow to grow on there own roots.
So beautiful flowers👍🏼
Looking good Andy 🙂 Just coming into summer here 🙂🙂🌵🌵
Nice time to watch all that growth. Enjoy your plants.
All that coming from a 6" container of bark chips?
Yes mate. They have weird thick roots. I know they won't last 5 minutes in soil. When in Thailand and Singapore on holidays the Orchids over there are amazing. They love the humidity.
Recently lost my Fissuratus graft. 'Modern Grower' coached me how to hopefully save it,...we'll see how it does. I'm envious of that grow house. Did it come as a Do-It-Yourself kit, or you have it professionally installed..
It was a kit I got online. It was a bit fiddly to assemble, the instructions were only drawings and terrible to use. I did a video on my channel to help others who buy the greenhouse. I put pavers down and dyna bolted it down. I had to re do some sections before I worked out the right way around for some of the parts. It is a good little house though. Keeps them out of the rain in winter. It has a roof window I can let some heat out in summer. Man it gets hot in there.

Thankyou. I just posted my Orchid video. It is very pretty have a look.
Beautiful sharing pretty flowers❤❤❤
Thankyou, they are a pretty colour of very pale pink.
Mine didn't even come with a manual I need help
Let me know if you need more advice from the video
Hi Andy! When we open the window there’s nothing securing the top of the window to the top roof bar. When we open the window the top just falls? Are we missing a piece? Nothing is securing the window
No, the curved part of the window frame just goes under the edge and forms a kind of hinge. From memory hold the window frame about 45 degrees open and hook the curved bit under the top edge and close it should stay under the edge then. The window frame is confusing. I put a stronger bracket to attach the adjustable arm that holds it open. I have been meaning to put hinges, but surprisingly even in strong wind it stays attached even when open. I can film this bit if you still get stuck, let me know. Look at 4:04 on the video to see close the way the frame on the window is facing and part 15.
Lovely collection!
First liked and comment❤ nice one ❤
Thankyou. My Ariocarpus cactus flowered. I will post it on my channel tomorrow.
@@andyroo3022 wow I wait then 🌵
Thank you Andy!! 5 hours in and we only got the side panels and front in. SO FRUSTRATING. But your video helped us get a visual on the gutters' layout.
I found your channel because I saw your profile picture in the comments of that Aztec death whistle video. I knew it was a super beetle! I have a 1971 super too! You did such a great job with this cutie! I’m still working on the minor things I have for mine. Hopefully soon I can drive it around, after I learn how to drive it of course ha 😂 Also, what is the name of the music you used?
Hi mate. It is on historic Rego. Doesn't get driven much. The music is from a band called Kent. Called Da Som Nu For Alltid. Watch it on RUclips. I believe it is in memory of a young lady.
@andyroo3022 I think that means it could only be driven in parades and stuff? No wonder you made it look so pretty. My 71 is my very first car, and I'm so glad it is. Thx for the name of the song btw
@@TheOddHolloway In NSW Australia. Historic registration and plates, means you can drive the car 60 days per year in addition to Club events. Only 52 weekends in a year. That allows for enough driving. You have a log book you fill out and sign yourself. You have to be affiliated with a car club to have the Historic Registration. I am lucky to take her out a dozen times a year. I need to go for a cruise. People love it and often wave and blast their horns when it is driving around. If it were a daily driver, I would put full rego on it, but not the sort of car I want to leave on the street or in shopping centre carparks. Enjoy your beetle, easy to work on and low tech at least.
@@andyroo3022 Oh, interesting. I see a lot of people drive their beetles around mostly on weekends, so I wonder if it's similar here in America. Also, thx, I am learning a lot already from my car!
@@TheOddHolloway Just that sort of car too. Good weekend slow cruiser. Enjoy lots of online content on these car restos and engine advice.
See the problem is that you built it on its side.
Okay. So I should have turned the instructions 180°❤😂
Hi Andy Do the roof panels slide in or can I drop them in? I intend on putting mine between a shed and a fence so I will not be able to slide the roof sheets up from the walls to the gable? I will not have the space. Thanks
from memory they should drop in. The metal retaining clips lock them in place. Sounds like you will need a short ladder and work from inside, starting at the back. You should be able to lean over the front then to put the last panel on the roof. Cheers.
Beautiful 🌵🌵🌵🌵💝🙂🙌
