The Outdoor Project

     Hi everyone. Happy Friday to  you.  I'm linking up today to both Nicole's Friday Face Off and to Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.

     I thought I'd share my newest garden play area today. It's making me smile, and I'm excited to have it ready for spring. The hubby has had a lot of fun building it too, and he's been working on it for the last few months around everything else going on in life.

     Last weekend's project was to move some of the stone I had delivered into the area around  and on the floor of the greenhouse. Because this is the sunniest available spot, and because there's not much flat about our property, my husband had to do some ground leveling before it could be put up. 

    The walls were constructed in the garage. Back a few weekends ago when my son-in-law was here, he helped my husband get the walls up.  I didn't think I could help carry the walls around the house to this location from the garage. They were heavy enough to move in and out of the garage the few times I needed to help do that.

Here's  the hubby’s face photo for Friday Face Off.

    The panels had to be taped, put in and caulked to keep the weather out.  And before that, all the wood on the panels were coated in another layer of protective urethane. It's been quite the project.  If you think a greenhouse kit is quick to put up, it isn't. Of course this probably took much much longer than most people would need between life being busy and also a civil engineer doing it. 😏 And this greenhouse only measures 6x8 feet (1.8 x 2.4 m), so it's a good thing I didn't buy one that was any bigger because I might never have it finish. 😁

     And here I am in my new finished greenhouse. This weekend I want to clean up a stack of pots I have and then put those pots, as well as my garden tools inside. 

     If the weather holds out we have  some more stone to spread on the area next to the greenhouse. I want to create a spot to put some raised garden beds since my veggie garden isn't getting as much sun as it did when we put it in 30 years ago. The maple tree on one side of it has gotten bigger, and the leaves block the summer sun. But the tree is too pretty to cut down. 

    That's it for me. I hope you have a great start to your weekend.
