Title: Greenhouse, plants and flowers 2014
Post by: Ariocarpus on Wednesday, 19 March 2014 - 10:17:08
Hello friends,

I wasn`t here since a long time, because at first I was in holiday, then I worked a lot and I build a greenhouse December 2013 - February 2014.
But now, I hope to have more time, so I will show you some pictures from the greenhouse and the construction at first.

At first you can see the old greenhouse, and the pipe laying (current) for the new greenhouse. :)

Here you can see the groundwork for the new greenhouse, the old greenhouse is now away.
The concrete is 50cm deep and 50cm high, and I also take styrodur plates on the outside.

Hello mikey,

sorry for the late answer, but I had a lot work the last weeks.
The automatic windows opener work very good! At first, I`m also not sure, because this are my first opener, but after a few warm days, it work very good!
