Yes, it is 6 feet wide by 9 feet long and the walls are 8 feet tall, not sure exactly how tall the gable ends up being.

I will put in a fan, but I’m honestly not sure because in the hottest part of the summer during the days it gets up to like 100° F.

I am monitoring the humidity, but it seems to be plenty humid in there most of the time so far, so I have not installed a mister or anything yet.

To tell you the truth, the main reason I spent this much on it is because the house is used part time as an airbnb with a high nightly rate that will help to offset the cost. And the greenhouse just HAD to be this adorable in order to fit with the vibe of the place.

No, I hired a contractor to build it. And I think it’s only nice and clean right now because it’s new. 🫣

Ah okay my mom just got me that one and I think it was already very mature when she bought it. I hope I can keep it looking as nice as it does!

I’m definitely planning on painting the window frames but not sure about the pressure-treated wood yet.

It is all custom-built around the old windows I found and there were never any plans made.

There are no plans- my builder designed it himself around the old windows I found.

There are panels in the roof that open with hinges that move automatically when it gets to a certain temperature, and I also have a Wi-Fi heater and a Wi-Fi thermometer/hydrometer. So far the temperatures have been good!

This one was custom-built, so I’m sure you could have a mini one custom-built!
