    It’s a sad but happy event. My sister would like the greenhouse and I would like to start a new project in the greenhouse location. We have plans to build an outdoor kitchen / bar where the greenhouse was at for the grill, smoker and blackstone. We are also going to put a outdoor wood oven and possibly a flagon kegerator out in the kitchen / bar.

    I know it was a sweet and sad decision but like all hobby's greenhouses are a lot of fun and a lot of work. :tractor:

    Got plenty of use and food out of it and it will continue its life as intended w/ your sister. That’s pretty good in my book.
    Hope you put up a build thread for your new direction, Pete :thumbs:

    I love the greenhouse and might hijack it for a couple of my self watering pepper pots… Bit it’s time to go. :(

    Amazing plan;
    Give sister the upkeep and work of the greenhouse!
    You get to keep a couple of your favorite plans there because you gave her the greenhouse.

    You get a new outside kitchen with a wood fired oven and beer fridge!

    BRILLIANT:coldone:

    Swapping out a greenhouse for a bar is a giant win in my opinion!

    More like a kitchen I guess but it’s slowly morphing into a bar layout :rofl: :lol: I started to draw up the plans today but I have to educate myself on a few things before going forward…

    I’ve been debating consulting a contractor about the project so I can lay it out and get a reasonably close estimate to what I need for materials before building it.
