My "New" Greenhouse. (Sub-title: My Recycled Greenhouse)

After moving into my new house, I noticed (last winter after the leaves had fallen from the oaks and cedar elms) two old greenhouses on a property near my subdivision. The house on the property was vacant. A month ago, I looked the property up on the local county appraisal district website and learned who owned the property. I composed a nice letter to the owner asking if I could salvage/recycle the greenhouses. Two days later I received a phone call from the owner and got his permission to enter the property and remove the greenhouses if I found them to be useful. What I found were two 7 foot wide by 10 foot long by 7 foot high greenhouses. Covered with decomposing green fiberglass.

Yes, that is a 10 inch diameter cedar elm growing up through the greenhouse in picture GH03.
