I can't believe it's really happening!

We have triple pane glass, except for the awning windows and ridge vents windows, which are double pane:

This is the construction of the aluminum structure:

Today was a banner day! The guys who put together the greenhouse came back to finish the job. They sealed the awning windows -- no more cold wind robbing the greenhouse of warmth:


And they went up on the roof to "wet-seal" all the joints. Remember, they built this in the Winter when it was snowing, so although they sealed the seams, they couldn't quite seal them tight. I did have a few leaks when it rained -- very minor, actually, but this is now resolved.

Also, I've been hanging a lot more plants, making better use of the vertical space. Here are two views of the inside from today, the first from the SE corner, the second from the SW. I had to stitch shots together to get it all in:

that's strong glass!

So nice.

Lovely, I can only hope that in a couple of years I have a greenhouse halve the size of yours.

:clap:

:clap::drool: Beautiful Dot !!! So happy for you !

You've done a great job of using the space!

Nice to have a private heaven in garden

Wow, Dot, you have a lot of plants in that space! I'm just beginning to hang more and more things, now. How nice to get the final touches to the seals in before winter sets in in earnest.

I'll say! I gasped when I saw them standing on it.

When they came to put on the final touches, my husband said, "When you are on the roof, you probably only walk on the metal, right?" Rod answered, "No -- we walk all over the glass as well as the metal. We do that all the time." And they did!

Sigh.......!!

Nice!

First snow this season dumped about 8.5 inches on us last night:



This is what it looked like this morning:

Wow! We didn't get anywhere near that much snow.

What did it look like from inside your greenhouse?

I didn't take photos from inside, but it's pretty much like this earlier post, from last winter. Only there are a lot more plants in there now...

Pretty photos! I am no where near ready to face winter...

Neither am I! But here it is.
