So we ended up with 14 brand new windows that someone gave us and needed somewhere to put them.  We decided to build a temporary shed out of pallets and a tarp just to hold the windows and some other building supplies.  Then Tony's dad replaced the plastic on his greenhouse and gave us a huge piece of the old stuff.  Three cattle panels later and our "temporary shed" has now become a future greenhouse.  I'm going to fill the sidewalls and ends with Straw/clay and plaster them so we haven't permanently attached the plastic yet.

It's in a great spot since there is sun in the winter and spring, but it's quite shaded all summer and fall.

You just never know what's going to happen around here.
