new plant house!!

I have been working on this project off and on over the past few weeks. I took that wood pallet my garden bricks were delivered on last year, sawed it in half to build a better coldhouse:
It's two feet by three and just over five feet tall. Five shelf levels- middle one in place there. I'm particularly pleased with the door, which is much sturdier and hung straighter than previous attempts I've made. It's still not completely square, did need a bit of extra reinforcing with screws and corner braces. Built from scrap materials we had laying around, purchases were minimal: a strip of wood for the roof peak, bucket of weatherproofing wood stain/sealer, a cheap brush, knob for the door and some wire shelving. Here it's open-
and shut. (Yes, I did take the liberty of photoshopping some clutter out of the background).
Getting sanded and painted with the sealer right now. Then I'll move it up to the deck and skin it. Spring is advancing on me too quickly!
