Blame like that I can handle. I expect the "East Wing" will soon become the "Harriet Hot House".

Ha! Up here "HHH" has traditionally stood for: Hubert H. Humphrey" - as in the "HHH Metrodome" or the "HHH Terminal" at the airport. This has taken on new meaning!

The East Wing is Up! (AKA Harriet Hot House)

The construction is an exact duplicate of the other side and so went much faster and less fudging. I will have to get a pic, but I did end up closing the gaps in the eaves. Partly because I just had all the tools there and nothing to move to get to the work. Figured now is better. So I am actually using the removable side panel thing in addition to leaving the door open. I have a little more sealing up to do and this is going to be great this fall for keeping heat in. The side panel design was made for this anyway, so why not take advantage of it - right?

Anyway, now I've got to start accumulating more plants.

Yeah that's the "hard" part.

Great job, Daiv!
You'll see the expanded greenhouse will be filled faster as you may count to three.

I believe you think that one through just well. There is a lot place around to expand some more if necesary.

WOW! That looks so good!

Keep going like that and it will be big enough to live in as well

Looking great Daiv. I have been following this major project with interest from the sidelines.

Are the additions really the same size as the original? Or did you get a little more square footage? When you talked about the first addition you said it was the same size, but it looks to me as if you have more than tripled your space.

WOW! your going to need A LOT more plants!

Ha ha - thanks y'all! I am ok with having extra space for a while. So if it takes a while to fill that is OK.

@Harriet - Yes, each section is 8' x 14' and modular. They could be made into three separate greenhouses and all that would be needed would be for the one side to be covered on the two "wings".
