It's a good thing you had to move the greenhouse away from the shed otherwise it looks like the runoff from the roof would have been constantly hitting the side of the shed. Great build.

OMG - hadn't even crossed our minds! You're so right. One more full length video, and a short one. I'm trying to talk Brenda into having me "interview" her regarding what she experienced in the build plus the features she likes and her plans for use of the greenhouse.

How does the skylight panel seal? I'm sure you probably caulking the end with a pivot point is but what about down the spine?? How would it not keep the window shut or crack on trying to open?!

Thanks so much for your comment/questions. First - I was frustrated that I could not figure out a way to send a picture to you - so let me quote the instructions. From page 62, Step 14, Attach Roof Assemblies to Frame Part 3, section F: "Apply silicone caulking on the top of the Continuous Hinge so the silicone completely covers the pivot joints." That seemed odd to us, but since the silicone remains flexible after curing, it doesn't inhibit the movement of the panel. Secondly, if I understand correctly, there really isn't an attempt to completely seal, that is, make the roof vent water tight. It's my belief that the rationale for applying sealant where they advise it is to keep water from collecting/pooling against wood, thereby inhibiting rot. Since the lower edge of the vent panel is left "open", a little bit of water is expected to drip down into the greenhouse, which my wife just confirmed on ours - a couple of spots on the floor directly below the corners of the bottom edge of the vent panel. Just for reference, the link to the online version of the manual I used for this reply is here: yardistrystructures.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/YM11945_6.7_x_7.8_Meridian_Greenhouse_July_29_2022.pdf I hope this answers your questions. Thanks again for your comment. Martin
