Our "Palmenhaus" gets a new roof...


This building is actually a tool shed.
But since during the winter months we also store our
Yucca trees and the one "Palm tree" in this shed
we grandiously refer to it as our
"Palmenhaus"
 

The Royal family of Austria, The Habsburgs, had a large building
on the grounds of "Schoenbrunn", their summer residence,
in which they stored hundreds of Palm trees
during the cold Winter months.
This building, therefore, was called the "Palmenhaus",
the house for the palm trees.
If the Habsburgs can do that, so can we.

The new roof is in place and the shed is ready to receive
our 4 yucca plants and our one scrawny palm tree.

The house looks great! I’m sure it would look a lot better once all the re-roofing are done. I hope the outcome of the construction turned out well. I’d love to see your Yucca plants and palm trees all grown out around it. Cheers!

Wow, the roof looks really nice. It’s neatly done, and looks very modern. Anyway, how are things doing with the shed? It’s nice that you are also able to use it as a storage room for your plants. Hopefully the new roof stands the test of time and elements, so that you won’t have to worry about your stuff. Thanks for sharing this with us, Bert. All the best!
