Recyled (Repurposed) Hot house


I wanted a small hot house close to my veggie plot to extend my season. I could put my tender plants like tomatoes there until after the last spring frost . It's only about 3'X3' and has adjustable shelves. It is used lumber, old windows and the roof ridge is old copper scraps. I have fence ornaments also across the ridge to keep birds from landing on it. There are roof vents and side vent.
The pieces of stained glass was salvaged from a piece of a 100-year-old window that had been trashed. It is decorated with turnings from an old tables, old door knobs and other scraps of hardware ..Just to the left is a potting bench also constructed from lots of odd bits... Works great and cost zip!

Gerry this is wonderful. I love to repurpose things and what you have created with your hot house is a real treasure, it is so pretty. Great job.

Hi Gerry! I am searching desperately for a word that means charming to the nth degree! I love it!
Hugs,

At first I thought it was an antique phone box. I think it is very clever. My husband wants something similar to start seedlings in.

I've had this picture in my inspiration file for many years. I love this! So glad it showed up as one of the "Link Within" posts when I came here today.

We always said that getting pooped on by a seagull at the beach was good luck...not sure if it translates to turkeys...
