I’m so glad you give the epilogue! I always see these things and ask “but do they last?” This isn’t much maintenance for one year of having a greenhouse!

Old Garage door panels with glass can be stacked & secured & do awesome… & if you want make some panels where you can lift them open in spring or summer! Rock or gravel floor…you can run a space heater inside!!
I was going to say, wow that’s a really expensive greenhouse but I guess if you got it off someone that makes a lot more sense! Although that price is a good bit higher than it was pre-2020.
What a beautiful greenhouse! I learned the hard way about angles, greenhouses and plexiglass anything! I lived in a rain zone, we got some snow. I had no idea how heavy powder can be! ❄️ it cracked a bit on the side, and I understood why ALPINE ARCHITECTURE is roofed differently LoL. Ok so next time I know! I had a bunch of carnivorous plants out there. They were fine, I mainly used it for finishing my wheatgrass crops, temporary lodgers. My permanent residents were like …. Mom! Fix this thing NOW!
Oh... i thought the issue would be UV yellowing. And good heads up, how thick was it? Could always use some acryllic, makes gorgeous fresh water sump setups
Probably another week or 2 before an update! The plumber is currently working on the new bathroom while we start picking finishes and then an electrician has to come so I’ll share an update as soon as we can!! ❤️
You’re better off buying windows off or getting them for free from someone doing a renovation and making one out of that. It will be your best bet in withstanding Canadian temps either way the season swings.
Im so glad you live in Canada in a province where it snows. We just got an acreqge and im looking for ideas for our back yard. Im so subscribing to you because i know you are dealing with the same weather cindutiins reagarsing planting floweres trees and having a green house.
You guys work really hard on your house and I love that! One thing that could be cool is a jacuzzi that you could make inside the ppol or in a separate area, it would be perfect for Canada snow and winter!
I also am living in Canada and am moved into our dream rental property in the country!! (Yay us! So excited!) the property comes with a green house that has been damaged by the last tenants. Hopefully they haven’t torn it down (I asked “please leave it! I’ll fix it!”) it’s made out of old windows and there’s more I can use to replace the broken windows. Will this make a good greenhouse?
I would suggest polycarbonate over plexiglass. They are both clear plastic like materials however poly carbonate is much more durable and withstands more impact. also your plexiglass will break down overtime in the sun and start to fog over where as the polycarbonate will stay clear for much longer allowing more sunlight in. The polycarbonate is significantly more expensive but I would suggest going to a glass distributor and buying it in bulk that way they will cut it down for you and you will save a lot of money in the long run. The poly carbonate may also be called Lexan
* Ditto❤ I wanted to comment on virtually the same thing as your top comment...and further give you kudos for sharing the "failure"/"temporary setback" in order to further HELP people by showing the problem you experienced. It is so much more helpful/honest/COOL to include this experience. The "silver lining" of negative life experience(s) ~ and a psychologically healthy way to gain a positive benefit from mistakes ~ for by HONESTLY SHARING your experience with others ~ you give preemptive advice that can/will help others. Those younger/less established/ less experienced than you GENUINELY BENEFIT from such shared honesty/experience and CAN thereby AVOID repeating your minor setback (should they choose to listen/heed your experience). I ALSO wanted to comment on the BEAUTY of your DESIGN, particularly as you worked with "found materials". I've often found in my own life and projects that being mindful of WASTING (both money and more importantly one's TIME) pushes you to be FAR MORE open-minded and CREATIVE in your designs. I love the "Art Noveau" aesthetic (which is also the Japanese aesthetic): if an object is FUNCTIONAL it might as well be BEAUTIFUL as well. Investing HOURS (or in the case of my log cabin the 25 YEARS in which we searched for viable affordable property) in the design phase will reap incalculable GAINS in the FINAL CONSTRUCTION. BEAUTY and ART makes me FEEL HAPPY. The definition of ART I love best is "ART is that which evokes STRONG EMOTION": SIMPLY it makes the audience FEEL. I CANNOT help but feel HAPPY seeing your BEAUTIFUL GREENHOUSE. I ALSO feel the passion and love you invested in the design and construction phases. A very lovely SHORT. WELL DONE.

We shouldn’t have any other door issues!! With the Dutch style we initially built there wasn’t a proper way to seal them closed so it’s our own fault 😅 but I’ll update if anything else happens to the greenhouse!

It’s been totally great otherwise! 🪴
now i really want to see their whole backyard, all the things they renovated/make together, like its so pretty and aesthetic
From watching videos (at this point anyway) everything in their garden seems like it’s very disconnected, feel kinda odd
You should use polycarbonate sheets, it doesn't break like glass. BTW, the price has gone way to high because of covid ( glass shields)
Twinwall polycarbonate is great and has great transparency and rigidity
😮 That’s wild, over here all covid related materials went way down in price while it was full on

Where is the inexpensive stuff?
Polycarbonate will oxidize and yellow in the sun.
This how you learn. Had the fact that you were able to use a reclaimed door , BRAVO. Looks great.
The door looks good for $30. I love discount and used home improvement stores. They have some of the craziest stuff for super cheap.
ReStore is genuinely my favorite store 😂 the mall is whatever, HFH and church thrift stores forever
Honestly, it looked really great with the replacement door. 🙏🏻
It really matches the tone of the wood so well, like it was designed to fit with that building
Honestly, my dad used a bunch of thrifted doors and windows to build his and repainted then all. It came out so nice and strong!
That’s the best way to do it.
And most cost effective.
@@ijustwanttosleepnow thank you! ☺️
i don’t hate the new door, i like how it matches the vibes of the greenhouse if you do paint it maybe a darker brown rather than a red undertone
What wood and treatment did you use? That color is amazing! I love the look of the entire greenhouse project.
Gorgeous job!
Smart choices!!!! Giving the door another life was such a great idea ❤
Dope repair! Learned something new today thank you!
Thanks for the update and inspiration.
Would you share your building plans for your greenhouse. It is beautiful. ❤
I keep getting this account on my feed, I’ve asked for the plans or advice so I can build one as well but no answer. 😢
The repair looks awsome ...using recycled doors is so earth saving ...❤
Stain/paint before final install, makes things easier.
I didn’t know Habitat for Humanity had stores of thrift building parts lol
They have a lot of cool stuff I found a nice curio cabinet there
thrifting a new door instead is such a good idea, i wouldn’t have thought of that !
Love how the new door looks honestly! :D
Beautiful green house
You could add like a criss cross pattern inside the windows where they flex alot to prevent future cracks!
My dream ❤ 😅I’m just loving my mini plastic one at the moment 😅this is my dream greenhouse 😮❤🎉
How did your plants do?? Where in Canada? I am in Eagle Valley Kootenai Mountains BC.
🎉 😢 I don`t know, I live in Houston, TX!! 😢
I love your video
❤🎉
acrylic expands/contracts more than polycarbonate, itll grow up to an inch /8'long sheet FYI
Wow
Really nice job
Thank you Donna!
Old Garage door panels with glass can be stacked & secured & do awesome… & if you want make some panels where you can lift them open in spring or summer! Rock or gravel floor…you can run a space heater inside!!
We want to see the plants grown and growing
Ohhh this is beautiful!! I’m in Canada too and a little worried about our first winter coming up. Primarily the snow load 😐 ❄️
It looks beautiful!
Great job! 👍🏽💯✨
Thanks for sharing 🙂
That looks awesome
it's still beautiful.
Very cool, informative and inspiring. Good things
awesome greenhouse. really cool story. you told it so well, i am so invested 😂
Nice job on the greenhouse!
Beautiful greenhouse
What marvelous people you are...
Plastics acyrlics stores also sometimes have scraps and cuts perfect for a project at decent prices
Beautiful!
Looks great and great fix on the door
It's beautiful ❤
Like the repaired ones better.👍
Thanks so much
What stain is that?! Love all your vids btw. 🥹
I was going to say, wow that’s a really expensive greenhouse but I guess if you got it off someone that makes a lot more sense! Although that price is a good bit higher than it was pre-2020.
Honestly I like yhe original door color as it matches the greenhouse
Here's a little tip you can take tape I would put clear tape and an x pattern on a glass this way if it does blow open and slam it doesn't shatter
What a beautiful greenhouse! I learned the hard way about angles, greenhouses and plexiglass anything! I lived in a rain zone, we got some snow.

Nice green house.
This video helped so much! When do you think your next basement renovation video will be out? I can’t wait! 😊
Probably another week or 2 before an update! The plumber is currently working on the new bathroom while we start picking finishes and then an electrician has to come so I’ll share an update as soon as we can!! ❤️

Greenhouse 2.0. BOOM!!

Maybe use stronger locks or more than one...a good deep deadbolt. Locks are not a thing to cheap out on.
$30 that's awsome, it looks nice🙂
It looks beautiful. No flooring?
It's beautiful
I love all your videos❤️ you’re living my dream 🥰
Beautiful ❤️
Nice green house
That is a very nice build hope it serves well
Love it!💓😋
Wow, all my Habitat ReStores are SUPER EXPENSIVE.
You guys work really hard on your house and I love that! One thing that could be cool is a jacuzzi that you could make inside the ppol or in a separate area, it would be perfect for Canada snow and winter!

Door looks nice
I'd probably just get the glass that is appropriate for the winter.
I would like to see what and where you guys are!!
Plexiglass is actually not that expensive these companies are price gouging because of covid
I remember buying it for like $18/sheet in the 90s. It's crazy!!!
Woow.. buy a pineapple seedling. Or young shoot and pit it in ..it will do amazing inside
Cute!

Love this
I was like wow you built an expensive greenhouse with that plexiglass but then you were like wow😂
I could live in there!
Polycarbonate sheets don’t scratch or crack nearly as easy.
I wanted to know if you have the design? is to create one like that. I really liked how it looks.
❤❤❤ gorgeous
Very nice
It looks nice I'd like to have it in my backyard 😉
you guys are extremely handy, what the heck!
Good idea
Thanks for shopping at the Restore! I've been an employee for 17 years down in NC. Which store is that?

You should buy tempered glass, amd have it professionally installed, especially if you're in a high wind area.
This green house is very beautiful! What Happened to the pineapple you were growing?
It’s doing great!! I’ll make a video in the upcoming weeks 🍍
Hi i was wondering if you have plans for your beautiful greenhouse?
That's awesome. Make me some maters
How are you keeping the plants warm during the winter?
Do I have weed barrier under the rocks? Oh man I want a green house yours is so cool
Yes, do the ceiling tiles open to allow air circulation?
Glad I live in FL. You spit and stuff grows
Hopefully it doesn’t happen again! This will help me if this happens to me too!
We shouldn’t have any other door issues!! With the Dutch style we initially built there wasn’t a proper way to seal them closed so it’s our own fault 😅 but I’ll update if anything else happens to the greenhouse!
Did 30 hours of community service at a habitat for humanity, worst job I’ve ever had besides bojangles. Hellish place to work
I love plants and dont know a lot but am lucky to keep everything green and alive.
So how do you keep you greenhouse warm in winter?
Hi, I love this idea
