see craigs list for free material like brick just grabbed some off of there. That fence is going to be an issue cause you know the neighborhood kids--- get alarm and video camera put sign on outside on door so it might scare off the pussys when they case the joint.Gotta Dog? Gonna be a nice one though--- big jing, I just layed down 170. total for my green house but not as fancy as yours.
I am now looking for a used slider door /french doors used or?? for the front-- may have to bite the bullet come winter and pop down 3-400 on a decent set. I gotta look at it out my back window you know---Im growing veggies too. Figured I eat about a 100 a month in veggies for two. No I am not vegan just eat and lift.

Hey Cali, Thanks for droppin in.
Yea, I was on Craigslist today and found some glass doors in the free stuff area. Thats my first stop for a lot of things, all for doing it for less. I got the ok on the greenhouse but not the dog so I gotta do something else. Im thinking camera and a security system that alerts my phone or something.

I can see it from my bedroom window but not the back side. Maybe motion lights. LOL I can just see it. Like a prison break Lights and sirens.

i shit you not i have 3 120db wave3ex sirens... not saying what trips them tho.
one of them is mounted directly over the door going in to the room, pointed down.
it will make a grown man damn near piss himself and fall to the ground in shock when it goes off :twisted:

Dam!
I would probably give them a fuckin heart attack. Serves them right.
False alarms would be a bitch though. Hey how about a recording just loud enough for them to hear.

"Attention asshole, This is a legal grow. You are on camera, The Police have been notified, as well as the owner.
One warning, Trespassers will be shot!"

I bet if a thief heard that he would leave it. Or at least think twice.

OK, time to build a wall.

if you guys are looking for glass doors and such trycalling a local window company and ask them if they have any they removed. My friend runs a glass shop and they have to pay the dump to get rid of the old one so i'm sure they will give it to you

I dont use motion detectors... they give false alarms ;)
and there easy to spot and hence avoid... a good thief cant walk right up to a motion detector and not set it off if he spots it beforehand.
also ive known my neighbors for well over a decade, its a very private neighborhood, the type where you dont just walk up on someones property by accident.. anyone snooping around would be up to no good anyways. but since ive got dogs, yeah motions are out of the question.

pm if you want further details on security.

Good point.
I'll probably will take you up on that.​
Well I got the back wall framed and the screen mounted but I ran out of steam.
At least I got it in place. Tomorrow I will cut the siding and stand it up. (if I can by myself)







After I got the screen on the sun hit it and it glared so I spray painted it flat black.








The screen is real strong, its not window screen.
This is foundation screen with the smallest mesh I could find.
It may not keep the tiny insects out but it will keep the ladybugs I plan on getting inside.​

Yea man, I figure that area between the wall and the fence never gets any direct sunlight. It will be cooler.
Besides my neighbor waters the dam fence every morning he has industrial size sprinklers and they go everywhere.

That area I am painting the boards never gets sun either. Well, when the bushes grow back.
Im gonna take advantage of that cool air too. 12 in ducting for about 8 feet hidden under a bench pipped to the greenhouse.
Powered by an attic fan on a thermostat.

Not to mention this old air conditioner I have. If it still works its going in there too.

Real fucken cool bro!

Todays progress:

I got it sheeted with siding and got it in place. Dam thing was pretty heavy but I got it up.













Then I got the lumber painted for the two side walls.




Now I gotta figure out where I want the windows on the side walls, Im thinking towards the front.

that is awesome. I am stoked that one day my buddy is going to let me build them a greenhouse one day too. For yur massive budget i was wondering did you look inside the sheds at lowes at the shed catalogues? They have fuuly built glass like greenhouses with fan and shit like cathedrals for order. about a 1000 is the medium price. Might stoke you on some design.

I would use that opaque shit too. Did you see the grooved wood that fits the s pattern like a lock?

No kidding. and the primer lasts forever. I built one about 10 years ago out of the same siding too. When I got this stuff I took a piece and set it next to the shed I bulit years ago and it was exactly the same color.

Welcome tea tree, thanks man.
Yea I looked at greenhouses for a few days online. I saw a bunch of cool ones but not exactly what I wanted. Even the $5000 ones were not what I wanted. I got all my ideas from surfin.
Yea, Lowes and home depot are my home away from home. LOL
I saw those pavers that look like rock but they are about are like $6 to $12 each. I would need about 100 of them. Na, I found these bricks in the building area, they are actually not pavers, they are called Top Caps. They got on the top of like a retaining wall. 1 1/2 in thick, the rest are 2 or 3 in thick. But these were 83 cents a piece. For $100 the floor is done.

OH, wood that interlocks like the stone? No I didnt see that
