Slavi's greenhouse

Meet my fig friend and mentor. http://figs4funforum.websitetoolbox.com/profile/1774219

He has been working hard on his greenhouse. I think it looks fantastic!

He wanted to share the progress with you all, but I did not have enough light for the pictures, but here are some of them.

Great work Slavi!  I shall visit you again.

Nice

Thank you for posting.

Wow! That's a beautiful greenhouse. Is it attached to his main house? That would be so convenient. Very lovely.

It is attached and under the nice deck he has, but I had to crop the picture for the mgbites allowance.  I promised him to return to make better ones. I took pics of his sleeping fig trees...so cute.  

He was very creative in using the area under the existing deck.

It looks nice. I can't wait to see it in person :)

 

What a great thing to have a green house for his figgy babies.  How awesome!

Grasa,
Thank you for sharing.  Slavi and I was just talking about this.  I cant' wait to see how his figs are producing this year.

So nice to have access to such a beautiful sunny room.  It would make this Jersey boy sooooo happy to have one of those. 

The figs have a penthouse !

Well done !!!!!

Looks good! Thanks for sharing. Now I'm getting the greenhouse blues. I got to build one!

Very nice !
Where will the next one go ? They always multiply.

Thanks for sharing, Grasa.

Since this structure is attached to his house, I am compelled to give a bit of a warning.  An acquaintance of mine in Ohio built a greenhouse attached to his home and planted many tropical plants.  He spent a considerable sum of money in building it, but it ended up being inadequately planned and cost a LOT of money to remedy some problems.  The humidity of the greenhouse was always very high and he ended up having a huge amount of rot forming in the walls of his house.  He had to make large repairs and placed a vapor barrier between his house and the greenhouse to prevent recurrence of these problems.  He discussed it on different forums and a quick search showed a good report at http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/tropicalfruits/msg0213515413601.html  I think it would be good to make sure that Slavi has taken necessary steps to avoid any type of problem such as this.

Wow, thanks for the warning, Harvey, I will make sure he sees this posting.
