My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Adding my first time SFG to the list

17 years ago

Kudos to everyone who posted their new SFGs today. They all look great.

I thought I'd add mine to the list with "before" and "after" pictures. Actually there's a snow storm picture in between but there's really nothing to see there because it's all white.

I recycled the slab for the greenhouse in the 2nd shot.



The direct sow plantings are about a month old with radishes, turnips, peas, beets, etc. Why do the plants I want grow slower than the dandelions in the lawn?

Note that the substantial slope required the use of 2x12"s that had to be dug into the yard...and yes that is an "SFG" pond with water lilies and comets.

I do need to add some more trellises on the SFGs closest to the fence, though.

Cheers,

Steve
