The Country Garden Showcase- Week 11

Welcome Friends!

The greenhouse move in pictures...

Greenhouse is finally IN the backyard and has heat, new shelves with wheels and overhead lights are on the way...  This empty spot on the hill is where the greenhouse WAS...

 This picture below depicts poor Jerry taking the entire thing apart and refurbishing it before reassembly in the backyard... its new home.

 she got a fresh coat of paint and a scrub-a-dub too

 This is my babygirl Sugarplum, she was supervising the process...

 Bright, shiny new paint good for another ten years.

 Papa pausing from paint for a picture...

 The next morning her was at it again...

 with lightning speed and a steely resolve

 he was determined to get the greenhouse finished before sundown...

 Powered by ice cream bars, Jerry worked all day long again.

 By 3pm I could see he was getting close...

 just the lexan was left...

 When it was finished, he paused for a quick snack before he cleaned up and came indoors to relax.

 Jerry built this greenhouse for me originally, about a decade ago.  He cut and painted pretty decorative gingerbread on the ends.  I loved it then, but I love it so much more now with heat.

Stay tuned for what's going inside this week...
