That's a very nice greenhouse.

Thanks! I still want to paint it. Is it a bad idea to paint it anything other than white because of absorbing too much heat?

How wonderful! I am getting ready to build a similar greenhouse out of old 6 pane wooden windows. Are you using waer barrels inside to store heat? You can also buy self opening heat activased levers to open and close windows to manage temp (on ebay)! Thanks for sharing the pics :)

I'm not currently using water barrels inside to store heat because it's not been cold enough to warrant it. I only put my plants in about two weeks ago, and it hasn't gotten below 37 degrees at night, and it only got that cold once. However, in the future, I do plan on using water barrels to store heat. The main problem I have (already) is that it is too hot inside. Even with the fans going, all windows open, the temperature inside will advance the temperature outside by 15 degrees or so on a sunny day. Not a problem when it's 70, but definitely a problem with it's 90. So I'm about to put up some shade cloth. I would buy some heat activated levers, but my budget has run out. It's starting to get embarrassing when I keep going back to my wife to authorize more spending when I already told her it was done.

Very impressive. Love the foundation stone work.

Thx Iris. I got into dry stone masonry (building with stone but no mortar) a couple years ago and have been building stuff ever since. I especially like to build raise beds and terracing to garden around. It makes things a lot more pleasant to look at and easier to work with as well. Here are a few pics of some other stuff I've done. I'll probably end up posting some of this stuff in the gardening with stone forum, though I suspect people rarely go there.

These terraces wrap around our cistern and have perennial flowers on top and strawberry beds on two sides (herbs on the side closest to the house).

A raised bed I built for some of my blueberries:

Here is what the arch in the wall looked like right after I built it last thanksgiving:

You have a good eye. I prefer the looks of dry over mortar. The arch is amazing.

I built one small shade bed from our jack-hammered out front porch. Worked well.
