Well, the greenhouse is now probably more of a shed. Since Hurricane Zeta decided that a roof nor windows were needed, it had to have a complete makeover. Instead of greenhouse roofing, which obviously does not withstand hurricane force winds, I have a regular roof. Son and I went to the lumberyard, purchased some rolled roofing and he installed it today. It is so nice to not have a leaky roof!!! Now, to get to work on replacing the windows. At least, there is no more deteriorating plastic tarping as an eyesore. Hurricanes are no fun when it comes to cleanup.
The greenhouse (as is) will at least suffice as a snug winter home for the potted plants. It probably will not do well for starting seeds as the lighting will be almost nil. I suppose the installation of growlights might remedy that problem but getting an early start on seedlings is not of high priority any longer. I mainly need a place to overwinter plants.
I will miss my sweet little "hideaway" in the two photos above, however. I so enjoyed working in the greenhouse and being in the bright, sunny room. Now, it will feel more as if I am stuck inside of a shed. Perhaps, I can get creative with paint on the inside to make it a bit more appealing. Other than being elated to have a nice roof and getting the greenhouse back in order, it will be nice to have this repaired for any future Clue Hunts on the Bayou. It has been transformed into anything from a medieval forge to a conservatory to a swamp witch shanty. It is back!
