Maybe you can do the meal she wanted when COVID is less of a big deal, next year on her anniversary or something?
We had crazy weather today here, not too far from you - it got hazier and hazier, the wind got huge, it started smelling like fire. The power at work kicked off and on again several times, then Mr. Dog texted me from home that we lost power, the wind was crazy, and big branches had come down on the compost bin and my new chicken yard. I think maybe the strong wind has been blowing the Yakima wildfire in our direction? It sure smells like that.
Its actually not attached to the house, there is a five foot gap between the house and the green house. I may extend it 5 more feet next fall if I decided I wanted to have more space. If I do extend it there would be a vapor barrier between the siding of the house and the Greenhouse but it would be reflective material rather than clear. I can't say exactly how I am going to do things because I need to monitor heat and humidity during the winter. I have no idea what size vents I need or if I need exhaust fans. It's more of a learning process than anything else.
We are also going to build a greenhouse this fall/winter using the parts and pieces I have saved from taking my friend's greenhouse down. We too are just going to be winging it. The hardest part so far is figuring out where to put it!
That is a hard part, and every place I wanted it either was in mostly shade or a flood zone. I didn't want to place it in decent gardening areas either so it eventually ended up on my deck. I was going to slap it together with coop parts somewhere in the back but when I determined that my deck was the best option I splurged on decent pressure treated wood and I am attempting to build something that may sell with the house. I have never seen a greenhouse on a deck and I may end up finding out the problem with having cold air touching all 6 sides of a cube (not that its a cube but you get the point).
