Marriage Therapy: Garden Greenhouse

When we had our windows replaced last fall, John was careful to tell them to please save the old windows.

The windows were stacked in the barn and I forgot about them. This spring, John started a rough drawing and together we built a small greenhouse for me to toodle around in.

My ultimate plan is to grow herbs and vegetable starts in this space each spring.

If you have never done a DIY project with your spouse, you should.

It is always a good time, a good arguement, and a good amount of growing for both of us.

We have done multiple projects together, so this one was not met with any surprises.

Measure twice, cut once.

Buy enough screws.

Windows from the early 1900’s are not all the same size.

Plug in the tools battery chargers. They work better that way.

Pace yourself and wear sunscreen.

This project was a lot of fun to work on together, cost way more than some free windows, and is an added asset to our little bit of acreage.
