You’ve got great parents!!!
I did until I was 26 yrs old
❤what a wonderful greenhouse. And so special to have your parents there to help. A very inspiring video.❤
Your parents must be so proud of you. What a clever and resourceful daughter they have.
kudos to your parents! they are over 70 years old,i guess and are so hepful and engaged to your projects
This is exactly my thought. Such awesome wonderful skilfully person. 🎉❤
What wonderful family ❤
Exactly what I seen being involved with your parents having them feel useful working together is such a beautiful thing for them God bless you
One on the strongest person I’ve ever seen and listened. I’m humble and honored to be able see these videos. Big bow.
sweetest builder in youtube builds the sweetest greenhouse with the help of the sweetest parents. loved it.
"It's just a greenhouse, it doesn't have to be perfect" .... says Rosie the master builder and then builds the most perfect and amazing greenhouse I've ever seen! LOL!
Horse Puckey-as they say-this is an amazingly poor plan and will NEVER be properly functional or durable.
Wow, your parents really did a great job with this, especially getting the clear plastic panels, which allow in so much light. What a wonderful memory this will be for all of you to share, creating something so beautiful and you built it together.
🌱🌱 These are the best memorys 🍀🍀🍀
Im starting to like Rosie more and more. She s going here own way to think and build things that she have never done before. Im also going my own way. 👍🌻🌞
I love watching people make their dreams into reality; it requires both whimsy and intellect in concert.
The videography, the arial shots, the music the close ups, your parents helping and the beautiful work of this green house is completely breathtaking. I wish we were friends so we could have green tea at the little table while potting a tiny plant 🪴😁 thanks for sharing this. This made my week.
Yes, I’m wondering how she gets these drone shots. Doesn’t look like she has anything in her hands in these shots.
You have built yourself quite the greenhouse! May it serve you well with pots of green things to eat 🥕🥦🥒🧅🧄 and blooms to look at 🌼🌸🌻May it smell of earth and growing each time you enter!
🌱🌶️🌿🍆🍀🍅🍀🌶️🌿🍆🌱
Beautigul blessing! May it be!
What a thoughtful blessing over her.
Dear Rosie, I must say, out of all the youtubers i follow, your videos are the ones i look the most forward to!
Your courage and way to just go head first into projects, but also planning into every detail and taking the changes and uexpected fails with a smile - you are very inspiring and your journey is such a privelege to be a part of! :)
I agree with you. I can't wait fr each video. I get so inspired.
Yes I so agree …Me too ❤
Wow. You are inspiring.
I agree! You are doing such a great job.
100% agree with all the others. Just one thing upset me - when you reached across to hold the offcut on the right side with your left hand. IN FRONT of the running sabre saw. Please don’t do that again. We value you too much.
❤ What a Sentimental Memory building your Greenhouse with your Parents. This will bring you happy tears in years to come. God Bless each of you.
You should sell this greenhouse plan. So enchanting! Wonderful job, Rosie ❤🏠🌱
So very awesome how your parents chip in to help when they can...you all work so well together, what a blessing.
You did amazing, as you always do. And the video was made beautifully 💕 Now to the part I don't really want to write, but feel compelled to as a professionally trained joiner who's seen a lot, and lost part of 3 fingers to a machine (they were all put back and healed fine in the end so I'm one of the lucky ones). Your safety awareness around power tools really scares me sometimes 🙈 To make a long story short, please never ever cut/saw lumber (or anything, aspecially in non uniform materials such as wood) with the blade pointing toward any body part. If you need to hold a piece of material, prop it up, or hold the end you want to keep from falling and saw with the other hand, never crossing the two. Never ever! Blades can shatter from nowhere in the middle of a cut (happens more frequently than you would think). Timber can all of a sudden change in density, within the same piece. Things, like pebbles, minerals etc can be invisibly imbedded in the wood (due to wind, animals etc, and then the bark just grows over it year after year making it invisible). All these things can cause saw blades to either shatter, kick back or rush forward, sometimes so rapidly your brain won't follow until after the fact. These things lead to lost fingers, severed arms and worse... All the time! You're so precious to so many of us. Please please be more safe, even if it means being slightly inconvenienced in the beginning. Once you get the hang of how to do things with safety first in mind it will quickly come as second nature (self preservation is a powerful motivator) and you'll just do things the safer way automatically. If you struggle with getting started, search for things like "circular saw safety" etc, and you'll get good visuals to remind you of the dos and don'ts to keep top of mind. I'm rooting for you in everything you do and hope you will take this as well intended advice rather than criticism. That's how it was meant, no more, no less. Take care, be happy & be safe. I all ready look forward to your next video 😊❤
Well said, the cross arm cuts were making me nervous alone
It’s a really important reminder to all who use tools and do projects. You get caught up in the moment and the progress and safety isn’t out front in your mind. I needed that reminder too. Thank you!
Thx for the warning! I was on the point of sawing myself, always feel a little scared, procrastinated doing so, and was now seeing the beautiful work here on the edge of sawing like I saw here. So from our watchers viewpoint your info are very valuable , too!
And ABSOLUTELY ALWAYS wear safety glasses!!!!!!!...I also felt sorry for you poor hands, try wearing gloves...even fishing -gloves that leave index, middle fingers and thumbs exposed for dexterity. ALWAYS safety first, good luck with your projects❤
Spectacular! You could honestly design greenhouse kits for people with limited budgets/space, from small raised beds/benches with storage underneath and swing tops to modular versions of what you created here, and make a good living off of it! There's a huge market in Sweden for alternatives, for everything from balconies, to urban gardening, hundreds of thousands of allotments and for regular gardens.
You're very talented in your use of simple materials making pleasing, functional and airy designs, like you did with your kitchen too.
I'm sure this greenhouse will be a total gamechanger for you from early spring next year. Being able to start the growing season earlier and keep the plants warmer makes all the difference up here. And besides all the food you'll yeild I'm sure you'll love spending time there, under that pitched roof. Well done you! 👏👌😍
This was so lovely to watch. And I love your happy skip out of your garden once you got the roof on. And your mom coming out to look at it. What a beautiful project.
I am glad I found your channel.
In Sweden we celebrate putting on the roof with a “taklagsfest”. I hope you celebrated your roof with a real blow out of a party. Such good work. I am so so impressed by you 🎉🙌
I loved seeing Rosie skip out of the greenhouse upon completion. Mom had a ‘moment’ too. A family affair for sure!
Whaw, Rosie you have become quit the carpenter! The greenhouse looks amazing! Glad that mum and dad could get you a hand in sourcing the materials and also lending a hand when it was too big or difficult to handle alone. You must be so proud of your achievement!
It come so beautiful 🍀🍅🍀
You didn't failed. You gain tremendous amount of experience and lesson, and you didn't stop there and keep pushing. Not only you have gained what you gained, you also have a fantastic new place for your garden. Bravo.
Wow you said you didn't mind if it was perfect, but Rosie it looks better than most professionals could do. You put such detail and love and care into it. Your mum and dad must be so proud of everything you've accomplished on this land.
Oh Rosie this week filming is amazing. I love your parents visiting , helping you. The Greenhouse is like a Botanic Garden Design😃 well done it is truly amazing. Your parents must feel so proud of your skills and achievements.
Oh gosh I love botanic gardens. I need a botanic garden house!
you already have ❤
THAT is the cutest, most magical space Rosie! You and your mom have the same adorable mannerisms. It will be so lovely in there on a sunny but chilly day, to have a tea and just be. Well done.
Wow that greenhouse is awesome! You are one of the post tenacious women I can think of! Such an inspiration to your followers.
It's a fairy tale green house!
Magical growing space! Enjoy and big Thanks to Mom and Dad! 👍❤️
Wild Rosie
You are so handy! I am very impressed!
There is a lot that you do as Swedish women
(of course, this also applies to Swedish men!)
never had a thought to do it ourselves.
You could teach “how to survive
the Swedish countryside)
There are probably not enough superlatives
to describe you.
I remember watching your first attempt at this greenhouse. I love the final rendition. And you know what I love the most? That your mom and dad helped and you have it recorded. How wonderful to have these special times with them recorded.
Well they did owe her one for messing up with the plastic bag they got her last year 😂
Your mom is so energetic, glad to see her enjoying the builds
Your joy and the time spent together with your parents is precious!
Thank you for welcoming us in to enjoy vicariously with you!
Gorgeous greenhouse !!
I have really enjoyed watching you gradually transform your property. It inspires me to keep moving forward, slowly making changes to my own property which I moved into in February of this year. It is a lot of work, but SO rewarding as I'm sure you know. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Omg it was so satisfying when the door hinge went in 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This was such a delightful video Rosie!! What a stunning addition to your homestead. Having your parents there to help and also witness the amazing talent you have...bravo!!!
Just the sweetest little greenhouse ever!! Great work, Rosie.
Rosie, your "can do" mindset is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing all stages of your planning, "changes and why", build, to the finish. I'm looking forward to building mine, as well, next year. I was born, raised, and married into the construction genre and so I have some knowledge by osmosis. I'm totally impressed!!! Blessings to you!!!
”Its nice though, isn’t it? … in theory…. It just doesnt work” 😂 I felt that! Good job Rosie! Love watching how your story play out. I feel so strongly with you in terms of dreams combined with budget! Keep going!
I think this is my favorite episode ever. I have watched it so many times. I would take my cup of coffee each morning and sit in the greenhouse. Beautiful. You are so talented.
It’s such a pleasure to read your story. Love that your folks were present to help out. This was indeed a luxury. You’re in my prayers all the time. Thank you for this gift of watching your journey. Many blessings
This structure is smashing! Obviously will be very useful for food production. We can see you sitting on that little bench and enjoying soaking up the warmth on sunny, cold days. Treasure these moments with your dear mom and dad. Wonderful to watch this structure go up. BRAVO!👏✌
Cherished time with your parents and you working together. Lovely.
Oh hey it's the video that the algorithm recommended to me and made me go all the way back to the start to follow your whole journey! Definitely going to watch it a second time, with all of the added context from the past 2 years of renovation :)
Saw fairy !!! I can’t believe how many angles you have mastered here !!! What can’t you do ?!!! Seriously your skills are so impressive. Also very precious to see the family input into it ! Beautiful. Enjoy it !!
Rosie, your greenhouse is wonderful! You are a great example of the proverb "necessity is the mother of invention" Keep up the amazing work. 👍
Also, little lights or lanterns when it snows. Really magical😊
What an enchanting little greenhouse which has inspired me to get on with my own build. Watching your parents help was a bitter-sweet experience. It reminded me of my own, who both passed away within months of each other ten years ago. Savor every moment you get with them.
One little warning about the material on the back of the greenhouse. I used that type of tarp myself. It was rated as UV protected, but it started disintegrating within a very short time, even in partial sun, and has left millions of tiny plastic squares scattered around. Every one of those tarps (polythene with embedded net) I've ever seen has done the same. I believe they ought to be banned from sale. Start looking for some alternative material to have on hand when you see the first signs. Sorry for the damper, but better be prepared.
The greenhouse is adorable! Nice job.
I've been watching your videos since episode 5 or something like that. I remember when you built the original greenhouse and how upset you were when it didn't work out. And here you are now, revisiting the project with so much more confidence. You've come a long way, Rosie, and this random internet lurker is proud of your growth. Best of luck to you always. 🌻
We all are so proud you Rosie! ❤
It’s wonderful that your parents came for a visit. They are company for you and get to see how much your home has improved. They must be so proud of what you have accomplished.
Yes it’s so nice to still have parents that you can show achievements that you are proud of. I really miss mine for that.
Your greenhouse is fantastic! I bet you can add water collection very easily with the steep roof. You are very creative!
What an awesome video. Love seeing you creating with your wonderful parents. You are so lucky to have such a supportive family. The greenhouse is stellar. The dormer for a proper door and peaked roof for snow load are both brilliant pivots. That’s your superpower, Rosie, on the move thinking, with a gorgeous outcome. A true skill.
you put so much energy in this house ! it's wonderful to see the family working together !! you're a source of inspiration for other women
One of the many reasons that I love your channel so much is that you are an amazing film maker, a true artist. Thank you for sharing all of this beauty with us.
Watching this and seeing you'r mum working with you made me miss my mum so much!! She is no longer here with us but with great love I remember the moments when I did walpaperin and other building and renovating things with her.
You are lucky to still have your mum around ❤❤
I look forward to your videos every week. The creativity, problem solving and your joy during every project is so wonderful to watch.
This greenhouse is so adorable that if it were me,I’d probably drag my sleeping bag outside at night and go camping inside.. I have never commented before but wanted to give praise for how interesting a delightful your videos are. I look forward to each new one that posts.
❤ I thought it would make a cool camp space too!
What a brilliant job you’ve done, especially trusting your intuition and adjusting to make changes that weren’t planned; a real sign of creativity. I love that your parents supported the idea and helped when needed. A very special family!
Wow it is the cutest greenhouse thank you for sharing your incredible little build. Much love to your fantastic parents, I really love seeing your mom in the videos. Such a dear sweet family! Bless you all!
I'm almost in tears about how sweet this build is. You did such a good job!!! And I'm so glad your parents were there to help you out. I really get the feeling that it was all built with love❤️
Rosie, you are amazing! I love the design of the greenhouse! I’m glad that your Mom and Dad were there to help you❤️👏👏👏👏👏
One suggestion I would make is to use some metal bracing in several places to tie down your roof to the bottom rail like the one you used on the doomer. High winds will pull that roof off. Hear in the states they call them hurricane clips. But flat ones would do the same.❤❤❤😊
Thank you! You left in the bits where you made mistakes, you showed yourself being discouraged at times, and you then showed us to never let those things get you down! You made the video relatable and just amazing to watch! I am a subscriber now and can not wait to go back and watch some of your other content.
Plus I love the Greenhouse!
Zooooo mooi geworden en cozy. Ik stem voor Solar lampjes erin 🫶 Wat fijn dat je ouders konden helpen. Ik wil nu ook een zelfgemaakte greenhouse! ❤️
I didn’t want that video to end, pure escapism. That’s an awesome, handcrafted greenhouse!
I have just recently found your channel and have busily watched your journey. It is so refreshing to see a 'renovator' with relatively no money and no experience try to do what you are doing. Watching you get better at construction has been inspiring.
Oh wow, the greenhouse and orchard are excellent! I hope you'll show lots more of what's growing in your greenhouse and I'm looking forward to a wildflower beds update! I'm so enjoying your channel and excited to be gradually starting to catch up to present time, but also I'm a bit sad about it because it's just so good to watch, with a cup of tea or coffee, and dream my own dreams and start to research and plan for my own future. Thank you for sharing this transformation with the world. It's by far the best thing I've watched on CZcams, ever.
It's absolutely gorgeous, and you're amazing ✨
Hej Rosie, i have seen a lot of diy greenhouses but your design is the most likeable shape i have ever seen. also your growing skills in woodworking are amazing. Well done and i wish you a happy harvest.
What a truly beautiful video. Your filming, voiceover and postproduction skills are awesome; the music is just right without being overwhelming and suits the piece perfectly. Well done.
Well done Rosie and your parents. You work so well together.The pitched Roof and bigger entrance and the bench over the rock are great. I imagine that if you grow year round in there you may build another. If you have a black covered water source (garbage bin, or spray paint milk containers) they will absorb heat in the day and radiate that heat out over the nights. Compost is also a heat source , both of these low tech strategies will give off heat to start seedlings earlier to get a head start ). Rig up a few containers and collect the rainwater too. Botanical garden greenhouses, and Botanical gardens are my favourite places. I was very interested with how you ran with your design. I do hope you will get around to fixing that wood rot at the bottom of the window where your outside work bench is. Please don’t wait like me…10 years later…a huge job….I have had to sculpt and sand the Builder’s Bog (Oz brand) to match the 100 year old window frames. A stitch in time saves nine.
Great work Rosie ! Love the greenhouse . But make sure that you have a pole to support the roof in the middle , but only under the winter , then you can take away in the spring . 😇 / KM
Oh that's a good idea, thanks for that!
You did a GREAT job🙏 together with your mom ( my cousin } It was loving to see you together💖I LOVE all your work on the house and guesthouse and now a good functional greenhouse 🌹
I just love your greenhouse its amazing, you are so clever, what a great design. You should be so proud of yourself and well done Mum and Dad ❤
Every time they come for holidays they make life changing projects, like digging tunnels for water pipes that provided water in the main house, this time it's a green house meaning less shopping and being more self-sufficient
Rosie, it's such a treat watching you create and be so industrious, independent, and downright clever! You must be gratified at the success of your journey, and how satisfying it must be to see what a beautiful life you have built for yourself with your own hands. I enjoy your videos and look forward to each, wondering what your achievements will be each time. Sending some bravas your way, and of course to Mum and Dad too. I wish I had a greenhouse like yours, I'd be so proud! 😊👏👏👏🤗🇨🇦💖
You are such a design genius. Just stunning. Well done you.
I absolutely Love your little greenhouse!!!!!! I can only imagine how fun it was to have it all come together like that.
It really is such a beautiful space and the pitched roof gives it a very proper conservatory vibe! Congratulations, so precious to have your parents enjoy the experience with you! ❤
Your greenhouse came out so magical and will bring you so much joy and food. Your parents were such a great help for you and I’m sure they feel blessed to be able to help their daughter 🥰
What a great addition to your garden. You are such a talented designer and it’s so wonderful to see the joy that creating gives you. And … what supportive and hard working mum and dad you have 😍
WOW. Abolutely beautiful. Your parents are amazing!! Rosie I look forward so see what you do next.
Be sure to provide good ventilation so your plants don't cook. It's beautiful. I put LED lights in mine. Great job.
Rosie, you must be very proud of yourself! All that you have accomplished on your house - and now topping it off with your charming greenhouse! You can come and build me a greenhouse any day! Well done! i can't wait to see what your next project will be. Everything is unfolding beautifully. How long it takes is not so important as that you did it! Time to celebrate! Glad your folks were there to help you, and I hope you all celebrated together!
Wow! This is a super nice greenhouse! Thanks Mom & Dad for helping! I'm sure this will serve you for many years to come! I can't wait to see your bountiful harvest!
Such a beautiful build to grow and live in! Nice to see the whole family working to make it happen! Hat's off to you Rosie and Family. Good luck and God bless you! Patricia
Congratulations on your beautiful green house! I really enjoyed watching you work. Your parents seem like such sweethearts, they must be really proud 🧡
Oh you are so clever! What a feat! And it was precious that you could do this with your parents! What great memories for the future when you feel by your self! You can just go out and have tea-anytime!
Love it!
Blessings from Tx
Danielle
Your design of this greenhouse is brilliant. Well done you, and your parents. Congratulations! Cheers, Ardith
A little over a week ago I stumbled upon this wonderful channel, in a week I watched all 62 videos on the channel in one breath, and now I'm sad that they are over, that now I have to wait for each episode for two weeks ....😥
Fabulous job and it looks really cute and functional! The only thing I would consider adding is a self ventilating window. They are relatively inexpensive, but an arm will push open the window automatically when the temp reaches a certain level. I don't think you even need solar for it. However, they do make small, inexpensive solar fans for greenhouses, too. It 's so important to keep the air moving.
Super cute, Rosie, I am envious! So wonderful to have both of your parents able to help you!
Such a nice greenhouse! You truly are creative indoors and outdoors.
What a joyous place you have created for yourself and your plants…..what a marvellous escape for those days when you are fed up with MDF or renovating in general! Be proud! You are such a marvellous craftswoman…no glue!!! I am so impressed with your diligence to detail….I guess it helps some that you are a designer by trade! I just happened upon your channel and now find myself an addict and binge quite a bit on your videos! Your parents are so good and helpful to you as well..making marvellous memories while playing in the sawdust! Xxx
Wow Rosie!!! You go girl!! I love your accident! I wish I had accidents like that one happen to me lol. Your measurements and cuts are precise and your ideas are just amazing. What a great time you’ve spent with your parents making such a cherished piece for your garden. May the Lord continue to bless the work of your hands. 👍👍👍
Rosie I'm so glad you got to share this special project with your mom and dad. And I'm so very glad you now have a sturdy greenhouse that will protect your vegetables from bad weather. And from rabbits and deers eating your crop. Thank you for sharing this video.
Your ingenuity never fails to amaze me!!! Love the greenhouse 😁😁😁
I also wanted to say that I love seeing how like our parents we are. You and your Mon are so alike in looks and mannerisms. I could tell how i excited you both were. The way you both ran out of the green house to admire your work. Cherish your parents. Make time for them. My mom passed when I was 21. Right after I had my first baby 23 years ago. My dad lives on the other side of the US and has cancer. It is very hard to get to see him. We are hoping to move from Oregon to Virginia to be near him. With all that being said, enjoy them.
Thanks for showing your mistakes,an important part of the creative and learning process.
Wow you are amazing, smart, etc. that looks so professional. Good for you and the help from your parents. I’m sure they are so proud of what you have accomplished. God bless. 🙏🌹😊
So cute! You are turning into quite the carpenter. Your parents must be so proud of you, they must have been impressed by the guest cottage makeover! They are awesome to help you so much.
It is so good to watching you celebrate the fruits of your labor.
This greenhouse is adorable. With the fabric at the backside, this will allow you to add on at a letter time. Your carpentry skills are really developing.
Love your show I have been watching sense Episode one.
An absolutely whimsical space! I love it but more so than creating a fantasy place that will be enjoyed for years to come is the bond between family and the memories made❤❤❤❤
Woohoo! It’s Rosie time! 😄🤚🇸🇪
Yes❤
