I am currently nursing an injury, therefore no cabin video. I've been meaning to post this Greenhouse full build video so here you go!
For those of you wondering, I built this from scratch without much planning. Mistakes were made, but quite honestly it turned out great. I used free recycled windows, pallet wood, old metal roofing which was also free, and a screen door I took from my own house. The whole thing ended up costing over $1000 since pressure-treated wood and the roof got fairly expensive. Feel free to ask questions. The greenhouse is already in its second year and it's doing great. I want to add a gutter this year to collect rainwater, and I want to stain the wood to protect it.

Only recommendation is to put up a vapor shield between the house and the greenhouse. That shared wall is going to see much more condensation and moisture now that it’s part of a greenhouse.
Great point 🏆
Yep, my ex tenant ruined the siding on the back of my house doing one out of plastic. Wise words.
that was my 1st thought too.
Oh! Now you tell him! Lol good point.
Can he add the barrier now?
Please consider putting up proper metal flashing that ties in from the siding to the roof of the green house. Speaking from experience of renovating other people's homes, you're creating an area for water penetration into your home. It becomes really expensive and less than a couple hundred bucks in sealant and proper flashing will save you from all of that. Please consider it.
Loved the greenhouse, looks great!
Thanks!
Copy that!
I agree🎉
Not to mention that block wall is already compromised, notice the cracks and possible settling
@@WoodnessGoodness You wouldn't happen to be a veteran would you? Former army captain here.
I was thinking the same thing. Stressing me out watching it. 😂
I think it's the most honest to god DIY video out there. In reality, it's how 80% of us in the real non-workshop world puts stuff together. The best entertainment was the trimming of the window frames. Never change what you do buddy
I appreciate that!!! Mistakes were obviously made but hey, better on the next one right???
Wood be rude not to buddy
lol
This is the definition of the term “slap it together” thanks for the entertainment, stealing the storm door from the house to put on your build made my day
What ever works. Loved thee build. Nice job.
I thought maybe the storm door was from the neighbor's house. Lol
Awesome! Would be especially cool to add a rainwater collection system with a gravity fed hose into the greenhouse
I am late to the game on this and was thinking the same thing!
I'm doing that with mine.
Yes I would do that too.
Thousands of pounds worth of good timber, all gone to waste!
@@philtucker1224 A step to being self-sufficient is never a waste.
I respect the fact that you gave all the safety police a conniption fit when you busted out that chainsaw😂
😂😂
omg I panicked lol
OMG how about the nail gun over his head? I'm like all of this is a safety No-No. Glad you are ok.
And I also winced as he used his foot as a mini sawhorse while using the crosscut saw.
You can see your a very experienced sawyer, and familiar with how to handle your saw!! I was impressed, but I know I couldn’t handle that. I know some that would be able to do that!😊
The fact that this looks so easy and simple when you do it proves just how much hard work you've put in and how handy you are! A great example of make it simple but execute it well. Thanks for the inspiration :)
Thanks so much 😊
Refreshing to see someone working alone and without a load of workshop equipment, well done
Talented people always make it look easy. You are gonna have a Honey Do List for the rest of your life.
I laughed at how you've got all your tools attached to you, even your headphones on your leg, safety glasses behind your head. Ready for anything. Epic greenhouse. Thanks for including the growing plants. Love the video
That's bang for the buck right there. Well done. Just keep an eye on the snow load or pop in a mid-span winter brace beneath. Now you need a gross of mason jars!
My favorite part of that video was how psyched you were when the triangle piece fit... I know that feeling well.
Ahhahahahahah ❤️❤️❤️
I laughed to hard when I saw that….. and thought, “Kids!!”❤️🐝🤗
Loved watching this. No talking. Each stage shown nicely, for those of us just learning. And inspired sone great discusssion in threads. Well done and thankyou.
I did notice the Huegelkulture method of raised bed filler at the inside bottom. Keeps the costs lower as less actual raised bed soil or compost is needed. Well done.
Doing that by yourself is pretty amazing.
Great Job WG. The dance at 18:35 was so funny btw.... PEACE!
Two thumbs up. Just a shame you can't like a video twice 👍👍
❤️❤️❤️
Big "Well Done!!" doing it all on your own. Even had you had a helper, would recommend tacking a 2 x 4 at either end of your walls holding it upright as you join your corners of end walls. And the beginning of digging the grass out along your string guides, would be helpful to take a can of orange spray paint and mark your guidelines and then remove the string that was in the way of you shoveling.
6:36 Already better than anything I’ve ever built. * Takes drink off coffee then hits PLAY again *
14:27 Pops has a better bod than most 30-40 years olds nowadays * takes another drink off the bean juice *
16:40 something relaxing about hearing that rain (since I’m only watching and not working in it). * takes another swig *
26:46 Simply awesome. Now I’ll go get a refill on my coffee and think about jumping off a cliff.
😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh man, you are so funny, love it!!!
My roommate has been collecting windows for a while now. Using reclaimed pallet wood will save some money too. His might not be as lovely but it will certainly be as useful. Thanks for the inspiration. 😊
Аплодисменты!Красиво работаете!Восторг!!! Россия смотрит!Applause!You work beautifully!Delight!!! Russia is watching!
My OCD has kicked in and although I love what you've done, I wish on the long wall you had put the three tallest windows, then inserted the two shortest ones to break it up, then the other three that are somewhat shorter than the first three on the left. It would have been more balanced. I do love this though. However, if it was mine, I would look at it every day and want to tear out those windows to balance them more, but I realize it's my own OCD causing the issue. Awesome greenhouse and you make it look sooooo easy to build! So having greenhouse and raised bed envy!!!
It never occurred to me to build it against the house. It will probably keep both the house and greenhouse warmer that way. Nice build. I can't wait to get out of my apartment and onto a nice property so I can do these projects.
That power nailer is so useful when doing solo projects. I need to get one. Not to mention how many times I've whacked my thumb.
Нужно очень внимательно
следить за перемещениями

@@vladimirvladimirovich8081 oh yes. Most people need severe injury only once to remember to be careful.
I agree with ColAlbSmi. I think the build is pretty awesome but you need some sort of moisture barrier and some flashing between the house and the roof of the greenohouse in order to keep the water from between the two structures.
Oh how I want this ❤
All my old windows I have collected for many years are rotting because I don’t know how to build it and no one to help.
Nice job, I love it !!!!
All u have to do is watch him and then try it. Your not gonna learn by not doing anything.
@@mhale-mi9iy not everybody can do such things.
Maybe this guy would come and build for you.
At least the glass itself won't rot. It would just need to be reframed
Great Job! Well Done. Had an idea about using the rain water from that down drain, off the rain gutter. In a barrel. Just a thought.......
You could also put gutters on and have it ran to a barrel with hosing to be able to be fed in for watering!!
I love how happy you are getting your fan in haha 😆❤🤙
Splendid job! My jaw dropped. Congrats, now that's what I call talent.
It is hilarious watching you. I went through some mistakes when I built my backyard office. The hammer almost dropped on my head because I forgot to take it down with me when I moved the ladder. It is tough to do thing by yourself but it is so rewarding and you learn a lot.
❤️❤️❤️
Yes I will try a smaller version. I have one huge window from a hotel for one side and 3- 78x36" a.d a storm door. And recycled boards. And my sin will surely help put it together. Bless you for sharing.
I am only one minute into this video and I am already loving the fact that you aligned the sawing sounds with the beat of the music :)
Lol
the sound of rain on that is nice. built my first greenhizzy out of the same plastic. 5yrs ago. its still in great shape. enjoy 🙏
love this... one thing I would suggest based on passive design and my ex father-in-law (we were both Architects) is to use the space below the windows and at the apex of the roof to managw the temperature of the hot-house
Prima, gut gemacht! So habe ich unseren Hühnerstall gebaut.
I’m almost 80, and a widow. I could try this, but I don’t know how successful I’d be. I’d need jazzier music for sure. The music they play at Raves might make the difference. But you have seriously given me food for thought. I have a wall this would work on, and I like the comment below suggesting a vapor barrier between house and greenhouse.
Yea I think I’m going to add that vapor barrier for sure.
We have a perfect area to do this. An unused doorway to a badly constructed DIY addition we are going to tear down. This would be a perfect replacement. Kitchen, large pantry, 1/2 bath and then a doorway to that addition the previous owners had a hot tub in. The greenhouse would be right in line with the pantry and kitchen Instant electrical and water
HA. HA. "That's factory." Love it. You're a genius!
I think you've got this one " Just Right." Not too much (structure), plenty of light, very creative. Yep, Just right. No doubt about it. I know the plants are happy. ✨✨🌸✨✨
Капец! Как только у него рухнула первая рама-я сразу вспомнила,как я материлась ,когда пыталась одна собрать курятник.Молоток! Упорства -вагон!! Я бросила,опять начала только через три дня.
Thanks for showing the struggles, too. Definitely a two person job, if a novice. Great Video and Greenhouse, saves thousands if DIY🏆
You had me 2 min. in when the wall fell. Yep...I like this guy. I get this guy.
A wonderful recycled window terrace.
I love gardenhouse.... that's my favorite and my dream....
Love the REAL LIFE use what you have build. Great job❤
Look at him go, the natural handyman. Nice job dude!
2 biggest factors in a greenhouse holding up.
(1). Managing water/drainage.
(2). Getting ground/foundation properly graded for>>>..see #1 !!!!
Graded? As in slope it?
Studs in front of a window would drive me absolutely nuts if I had to look at it from inside the room. It is easily remedied I suppose. The greenhouse It's a nice addition to your home. I hope you get lots of good use from it.
Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing ❤❤😊
That simple trellis idea with the cattle panel tho 👌🏻 very nice. The entire greenhouse came out super man 👍🏻
That’s factory! 😎 awesome build brother 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
wow you’re so talented and made the entire build looks simple.
Love your joy! So fun to watch and dream!
Beyond imagination to learn the sequence without a lecture as I see logic of brace Cheers mate from aus
On second thought, I want my windows back.
Seeing you remove the screen door for use on the greenhouse reminded me Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where he came in to take the fireplace fireplace flue for the car! xD
Looks great, well done mate! Love that you kept the little celebrations dances on successes in the video.
This is so relaxing to watch 😊
Suday 14th may in U K.Just chilled watching your great vid Power to you my friend Rob A.
This deserves more views . It looks great!
Wow, had this in your hip pocket eh, totally awesome build!
Nice build and use of recycled materials. Add worm composting to your beds and drip irrigation!! May want to consider hanging baskets for strawberries and herbs.
I'm very impressed with how you made this work so well for you and can't wait to put it in to action myself! ❤😊❤😊
YOU ARE AN AMAZING CARPENTER!
It looks so fabulous, & what's amazing is that you did it all in 28 minutes & 33 seconds! Right? Yes? But seriously, it looks wonderful, I love the way you used the windows, well done.
I gotta say I do not impress easily, but this is absolutely gorgeous 😍 I'm so jealous. I'm going to build one similar.
Thanks for putting the small piece of trim above the vent fan, nicely done for an unconventional build, looks good. I have one to build but for the price of wood. Thanks for the inspiration.
I have to admit I was skeptical how this would turn out, and boy was I impressed! Great job!
You are the content creator I am looking for. Thanks for sharing information and improving lives and be more friendly to our environment.
Very clean build with exception of the missing vapor shield as others have mentioned! Good ventilation and thanks for linking your fan/thermostat. That corrugated metal is a great find and the bed design using it will last a long time. Also nice to source the free nutrients with the hidden hugelkultur and found soil.
Thank you!!
My question is how do the pollinators get in and out? I've been thinking of doing something similar, but much smaller.
@@Mustangmom2k Peppers and tomatoes don't need pollinators and insects will always find a way in, plus the ventilation openings and the open door.
@@WoodnessGoodnessОтличная теплица! И грядки теплые крутые! У нас в России на таких грядках в Сибири выращивают томаты, перцы, огурцы, клубнику.
Вопрос: почему вы не проложили рубероид между деревом и камнем?
Без гидроизоляции нижний брус будет гнить.
🎉вы меня вдохновили❤
Great construction, hope the wife loves it.
You did a great job overall. Hot air removal, water intrusion, lack of plumb, level, and square are things you should keep in mind moving forward
Thanks for the tips!
Das ist so schön geworden. Danke fürs teilen
I think using a ladder when using a nail gun instead of over reaching like you did at first at 3:37 is much wiser.
You're pretty fearless using a grinder which are unforgiving tools given the speed and the wheel can explode if it hits wrong, chain saw while on a ladder using toward you, and being up on the roof frame.
I think you did a nice job especially considered you did it without a plan, repurposed double sash windows [hurt me a bit when you cut them, lol] would been something to have them open and close as well. I agree with the waterproofing membrane & flashing tween your home and the conservatory/ greenhouse, nonetheless nice job
piecing it all together. I don't know what your injury is but I hope it wasn't very serious, thanks for the inspiration.
I'm really impressed with the greenhouse, you could pick up windows and do that to any size you wanted.
I'm just admiring that which I wish I could do. My measuring and excitement to finish a project seem to conflict and it always looks like the house that Ziggy built
Who's Ruth?
@@MissBetsyLu Hahahahaha Me
@@ziggyustar3137 😳🤭😳🤭🤭

I think I rode the chairlift with your doppelganger today in Vermont.
Hahaha let’s gooooooooo! I always wanted to be a snowboard bum….
Nice job, however, you might sink a few 4x4x4 posts at each front corner and then cement them into the ground leaving a 4x4x4" section above ground flush to your base framing and run an anchor bolt through them so a tornado or high winds won't lift it off the ground.
Guess I need to make a trip up north to come help you build the Wild Mountain Man Cabin. and bring my Mule and trailer to haul the Woodness Goodness up the hill for ya :-D Hope you get to feeling better soon my friend.
WOW! My dream, I have saved windows for this. GREAT!!! I admire your talent!
I just knew you were going to leave that board overhanging below the fan, but you didn't! You trimmed that lil bugger and I was like YES! Good job, on the whole thing, dude.
Wonderful to watch you work. Our days of hobbies are gone. It is great to see . Your daughter is beautiful. I bet she has lots of fun following you around as I did my daddy.
Pretty dog.
I am glad someone helped you.
Becareful for a long and happy life. Someday, you will be watching new generations work with their hands, which begins in their minds.
When it comes time to clean the roof of your lean-to greenhouse I wonder if a blower tool would be safer.
Thank you for your kind words!
@@WoodnessGoodness 🌹
we built an 8 x11 greenhouse a few years ago. we put in rv vents at the top bcs we used clear currogated panels like that on the entire thing, with repurposed windows all around. it will cook you out. it topped 130 degrees when we were under heat advisory this summer, we wanted to use opaque panels for roofing that cut some of the light down, hence the heat. we wanted to use a metal side door to repurpose but we didn't build it tall enough. we were able to put in a gutter and a couple rain barrels. for our size roof and a good 30 minute soaking rain, it fills half a barrel..... its a learn as you go experience. we spent about 1200 on ours.
Great build! As a former commercial greenhouse employee and horticultural biology major, I may have done things a little differently, but hey what you did works so far just fine, and that's what counts. Ventilation and humidity control are vital to successful greenhouse management and it looks like you've got that covered pretty well for the size of greenhouse you built. I've never been a big fan of raised bed farming, too many variables for my OCD brain, and soil used over and over again becomes depleted of nutrients, but I was glad to see you placed some wood logs in the bottoms of your raised beds, you've obviously studied up on raised bed gardening techniques. Only thing lacking, IMO, is a drip irrigation system, and maybe an automated temp/humidity control, but I know both can be a bit pricey. Again, nice build!
Thank you so much for your kinda words and feedback! A drip system sounds awesome. I am also planning on adding a gutter collection system!
For raised beds while manually tilling at the end of the growing season you can add nutrients and worm composting. Even with regular planting the nutrients will be depleted, that is why you rotate crops.
@@WoodnessGoodness Just remember for gutter collection, you wanna treat it in case bird fecal matter or other animal waste gets in there on accident. For ornamental flowers it's not that big a deal, but for crops for your own kitchen, a bit of chlorine bleach and a few litmus strips can go a long way, with a good bed of sand as a particulate filter at the bottom of your catchment.
Absolutely crushed it homie!!
Haha thanks! Love your username!!!!! Hahahaha
Love your enthusiasm when the cuts are right! This is going to be so cool for your plants.
This is probably one of the best Greenhouse's I have seen.
Fabulous! The two things that concerned me were the condensation/water penetration potential problems, which, by the sounds of it are easily remedied and putting up the wall right in front of the window. Wouldn't it be better to be able to open the window into the greenhouse for ventilation and also as a fire escape? Just a thought.
I thought about that as well. By slightly modifying the distance between the vertical wall studs, the window could be centered between two of them. And then a heat exchange would be easy. If, for instance, electric goes out during the winter, you could allow solar heating to enter through the window of that one room. Or if there was a sudden freeze and you wanted to salvage some large, expensive plants, such as citrus or an avocado tree, you could open the window and share house heat with them. Years ago, there was a sustainable farm in Colorado incorporating this principal on a larger scale, but the fellow running it was getting up in years.
Very nice..!!!
I am going to make a glass isolated window, garden green house as well... Thank you for sharing, the motivation and the good background music ;)
Nice build! Looking forward to see whats growing in the greenhouse next!
Awesome work. I really like the greenhouse.
Awesome build young man :) I have a small 8+8 built on the back door of my cabin so I can start all my bedding plant early and it has worked great because I just heat it with the extra heat from the woodstove as it warms in spring,
This looks like my cousins old house in Waldorf MD, like literally everything
I admire the fortitude and ambition..
Love the result!! Amazing , hard work pays off!!!
Holy Woodness Dr. Greenthumbness baby!!!! Now dad can grow that wacky tobacky 😘😜. You see folks even a semi professional amateur can do anything if you put your mind to it. I am glad ur architect came by and gave her seal of approval. Thanks for keeping us entertained and get after it.
The wackiest!!!
How about a beginner? With no tools. Lol
Thanks for the update, awesome greenhouse! Very impressive on how you got those walls up on your own! Very nice build. Cool way you made the raised beds with the sides made out of metal. Looked great. Nice cross ventilation with electric fans. 👌 Lot of hard work and very nice completion. 👍 Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. 😃
Congratulations! Amazing job!
Well done, thank you for posting.🤓
Thank you for making this video!!!! I’ve been looking to build something exactly like this attached to my house and part of my back patio. Love love love this! Thank you! Good job doing all of this by yourself!!!!
AC power so jealous! great build man.
