Damn Abraham!
I dig your style man, a true outdoor grower always cuts down at least one tree :)
Great idea with the exhuast hinges, if I could do it all over that'd be the one thing I'd add; that and rain gutters.
What dimensions are you planning on?
How many trees will it take?
How long you gotta haul that SOB.
How long did it take ya to bring her down, anyway?
Sorry for all the sporadic questions, and I do have one suggestion.........

eh LORD BENIS :wave: , yeah i figure cuting down a tree or two wont hurt anyone, and its going to a good cause so i dont think ill be accumilating any bad karma. as far as rain gutters go i dont think i will be needing them since its an A-frame and the rain will just slide off. as far as dimentions go.....ill figure that out tommorow. im hoping that im only going to be needing one more tree but we will see what happens, and i really dont know how long it took me, but i do know that i enjoyed it, it was really good exercise, actully the only really hard part was dragging it out with all the snow on the ground....i cant wait till its all melted. :woohoo:.................about the chainsaw thing, haha, thanks for the link, but im trying to be as natural as possible (its that gosh darn hippie coming out in me again).......

Heya there.

DIY proyects are the best and with access to the resources you have in your backyard, it would be criminal not to take the opportunity to use them. In your picture i can see that there is a huge abundance of trees around that area so chop down a few and build your greenhouse. Im going to be watching :wave:

May destiny bring you a many good crops.

Welcome CC Rider :wave:

This looks like it has some potential. Anyone that goes into the woods during the winter, with snow on the ground, to chop trees down with an axe, obviously is not fucking around or half-assing it.

Forget guerilla growing, you are just going caveman style. I love it.

I am just finishing building mine. It was a modified A-frame. I will try to give pointers (not trying to tell you how do to do it though) on the things that messed me up and maybe it can help.

Good luck bro. peace_highst

heya User Name, thanks fer stopin by, and yeah i think that drying the wood is a more porper way and it wont split when it starts to warm up a bit. I figure that it really doesnt matter if it splits since its not like a house or something, its not really holding anything up except for some plastic.....but i guess ill just have to see.

Awesome thread CC! This is going to be someting else, WOW!

I'll be hanging, smoking in the backround and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo! for your success and for all of us to see this plan/dream come to fruition! I'm so impressed with the premise that I have to say I really look forward to the result. Between Bonzo's Thread, Babbas Outdoors (should be starting soon) and your "Lincoln" Log Cabin (great president, one of my favorites) plus our chanting thread, I have to to try and spend some more time online!

growing up I was told as a stoner I wouldn't amount to nufthing, click and behold I have friends doing amazing things for world peace and even one buddy constructing his own Log Cabin! Working with nature will yeild you some great results CC, Thank you for posting this thread up.

I'll be checking in :wave:

Peace

looking good.

I am convinced you are that caveman from the Geico commercials. I cant see anyone else with the primal instincts to build something like that in the winter time, lol.

Good luck with the rest. Keep the pics coming.
