8 DIY Pallet Greenhouse Plans You Can Build Today (With Pictures)

While looking for some pictures of pallet wood greenhouses, I came across this excellent article that includes plans and YouTube videos for 8 DIY greenhouses.

Here are some of the designs...

And this beauty, beyond my current skill level, but nice to look at just the same....

Hard to believe they used pallet wood to make that greenhouse. Maybe the floor inside?

...at a further away feed store, they did it (loaded my car) without any problem, and of course I tipped the guy...

Where I live, we have a drive-up spot at the Fleet store where the guys just load the feed. No tip required or expected. But I live in a small town where tips are not expected for doing your job, ... except for dining out.

it has been standing at the wrong place (where I usually hang my laundry) for the last 3 weeks, I am seriously thinking about hiring someone, but hubby hates every cent I spend on animals

That's too bad. I don't know how many chickens you have, but is it possible to find someone who has a youth group that would bring over the kids to move the coop? Sometimes those youth group leaders are just looking for good deeds to help others. It's good for the kids to see how their efforts benefit others, while at the same time, it makes them better citizens. Well, my opinion anyways. Maybe you could pay them back in future egg donations to their charity? Just spit balling some ideas...

I have 14 chickens. In Germany we don’t have a lot of youth organizations, and if, more in Berlin. Most Germans have lost contact to nature , there are some that believe cows are purple cos a certain chocolate company has a purple cow as their logo…but my oldest son is visiting us in a couple of days( with his 1.5 year o daughter) he doesn’t enjoy yard work either, but he is nice to his mother

If my husband ever tried that with me he would be so sorry. Anytime I ask him if he can do something for me he does give me a bit of attitude however he will give in to me ...

Wait a second, are you my Dear Wife just posting under a different name to throw me off!?

Yeah, times change. I have lived in western Europe a number of years (France, Italy) but have made many trips in Germany. I found the German people to be very friendly. I hope you can find someone to help you. I would like to think young people are still expected to help those who would appreciate some kind assistance.

I remember working all day for older relatives that could not afford to pay for someone to clean up broken and fallen trees after a storm. I worked my butt off all day and was paid with a home cooked meal for supper. Well, it was a whole family effort, not just me. Dad drove us the two hours to get to their house, and me and my brothers with dad all worked to clean up their property. But that's what we did back in the day to help others who could no longer do some things for themselves.

As long as I was capable of, I used to help my single neighbor in the garden for free, I have gone through very rough times in my youth and am happy to give back. Now that I am no longer physically able to help other, I drive people who need it with the car , like people who move ( only, what fits into my van in one go) or pick up used furniture as long as someone else does the heavy lifting! The thing is, most of my friends now also have issues and can’t help me out either, none of us are getting any younger

with crisis and hunger coming soon don't be surprised if your husband asks you to keep chickens in your bedroom just to make sure they'll be safe.

No crisis can be that bad that hubby would tolerate chickens in the bedroom, I seriously think he would prefer to starve first

If my husband ever tried that with me he would be so sorry. Anytime I ask him if he can do something for me he does give me a bit of attitude however he will give in to me (except for making anything out of wood), but eventually he will.

Well, I could „force“ him, but then he gets destructive I once asked him to trim the lawn edge, he hacked all my flowers and stepped on them too he really HATES gardening, he says, if he wants to look at flowers ( that urge has not overcome him yet) he can go to a flower show since he isn’t interested, he can’t see what is weed and what is important, when I raise tomatoes, he says just buy them in the store, he can’t taste the difference! I didn’t really know about his dislike of gardening cos at first, my 4 kids kept me very busy, then our well dried up, and nothing grows here without irrigation when we finally got our well fixed ( took a few years cos it is expensive) I finally could start gardening, and hubby met a new me, which wasn’t how he had met me maybe his mother’s comment back in the day should have given me a clue, she had all her apple trees hacked down cos she said the apples in the supermarket looked much nicer

I asked an employee at the feed store if they could lug the bags into my car cos I have 2 artificial hips ( it was empty and a very small one) they said no, it was against company insurance policy at a further away feed store, they did it without any problem, and of course I tipped the guy
I kind of married my hubby with open eyes, he can’t even change a lightbulb, let alone find, where they are ( have been at the same place for 30 years) and I didn’t mind, now, that I am not as fit anymore as I was, it sometimes is a problem, for example, someone gifted me a coop, it has to be moved to the right place, I really can’t do it on my own, since hubby doesn’t even want to touch it, it has been standing at the wrong place (where I usually hang my laundry) for the last 3 weeks, I am seriously thinking about hiring someone, but hubby hates every cent I spend on animals

If your name is Barbie; Just kick him out and get yourself a new Ken at the Toy sore.

PS
or keep him and buy a second Ken with green hair and green fingers.

More serious: if you change over the years i understand it can be hard sometimes to be acknowledged. .
