About 4 years ago we purchased a 10 x 20 canopy storage shelter from Sam's Club we called the white house. It fell apart and we were left with the 10 x 20 metal frame. After much thought we came up with the idea to add it to our shed/fence and make it a greenhouse/fence. Having no plans to go by, Evan with his great carpenter skills, transformed the frame into a really awesome greenhouse. It had to be done in stages as it seemed to create itself. Right now half of it is hay storage for the animals this winter and the other half I have my potted plants and a sitting area. It's a fun place to hang out, even when it is raining.

The whitehouse becomes the greenhouse

Can it be October already?
Our tree area was so overgrown with invasive plants and trash dumps from the previous owners it was time to get it cleared. On April 19th we hired a bobcat worker. What a beautiful difference he and his sons made. Unfortunately there was so much glass broken all over the place when they were done. Using leaf rakes Evan and I were able to get a lot of it out. It was interesting to see all the different kinds of bottles. There were lots of pint alcohol bottles and several unbroken Coke bottles as well. Two stream areas still need to have the glass shoveled out. I'm sure we will be picking up glass until the day we die. It is a good feeling to know we have restored nature so it can prosper once again.
