Here is a bonus of the willow fence. Its also a combo item. Its keeps the chickens out of the garden plants we keep near the kitchen, during their sprouting phase so they don't get scratches up and eaten. As a bonus, it may reduce snow drifts. Next, decorative security. No one can grab us when we walk out the door, It directs people to come where we want them. Eventually, it will become more maze like just to slow people down, with gates that can be locked at night. It will get increased next spring.
Plus, It just looks so darned cool. Real old school

I suppose I will point out that all the windows and doors were recycled from the side of the road. 6 evergreen trees from the property support it. Half the wood is recycled. Ive taken to collecting bits of plywood as well for multiple purposes. The roof is from a cube van. One of my failed experiments I only refer to as C5s Folly... to keep me humble. I have officially proven that you cant burry a cub van. Land is like water. It is constantly flowing...or crushing as it were. Maybe 25$ of new wood and about the same in screws and nails. Many of those were recycled as well. Im looking forward to seeing it painted. The gutter and rain barrel are also recycled. It will eventually be piped into the inside sink. Shelves for the plants are still to be built as the right materials show up. After the paint, more gravel (also recycled) will go around it to aid in drainage. Then a fence around the garden part...to slow access to the house from that direction.

Nice job C5 !
I've got a pile of glass n doors waitin for property to get used similarly.
Re paint on wood.... don't you think a penetrating clearish oil stain would last longer?, and it doesnt flake
Or even doubleboiled linseed oil?

Unfortunately, I don't find that stuff lasts very long. Consider how often people have to replace their wood decks. I use that rust paint, even on wood, just to keep water flowing. Keep coating it and it becomes a structure in itself. Ever seen one of those old crazy preachers with a preaching truck painted over with 50 layers of household paint, constantly changing and painted over as his mental illness changes. The reality is that, that old vehicle is held together entirely by the cheap paint layers.

If any chemists out there have a way to take old motor oil, and majicly turn it into a solid paint, that can be alchemised in the barn or bathtub, Ild really like them to share that with us all. I don't know if it is even possible but I would sure like someone to try.

Other than plumbing the rain catchment to the sink, which can wait till spring, the greenhouse id done. Ill wait till a non hurricane day like today to send picks.

Now I am beginning to think about my next greenhouse...that I can call Bride Of Frankensteins Greenhouse. I recycled a bunch more windows this week. The next one, I plan on adding my first attempts at a rocket mas heater to keep it growing over the winter.....like this one that just came out. Great minds think alike.
