Making Space for the Projects You’ve Been Putting Off: A Custom Greenhouse Build

So many home projects start the same way...

“I’ve always wanted to do this… I just don’t have the time.” 

“I love the idea, but I don’t have the energy to figure it all out.” 

“Maybe someday, when life slows down.”

For one of our recent clients, that “someday” project was a metal greenhouse—a space they had dreamed of using for gardening, seedlings, and spending more intentional time outdoors. The idea was there. The motivation was there. What was missing was the time and bandwidth to actually make it happen.

That’s where we came in.

Time Is Often the Real Obstacle

Most people don’t avoid projects because they don’t care about them. They avoid them because modern life is already full.

Between work schedules, family responsibilities, and the constant list of everyday tasks, even exciting projects can start to feel overwhelming. When something feels complicated, unfamiliar, or physically demanding, it often gets pushed further down the list—not because it isn’t important, but because it feels like too much.

That’s especially true for unconventional projects like greenhouse builds, custom outdoor structures, or installations that don’t come with a clear, step-by-step path.

Turning a Dream Into a Finished Space

For this project, our team at Handyman LKN handled the assembly and installation of a metal greenhouse, taking what had been a long-held idea and turning it into a usable, finished structure.

Instead of the client needing to:

• Coordinate tools and materials

• Set aside multiple weekends

• Troubleshoot unfamiliar instructions

• Physically assemble a large structure

...They were able to hand it off—and step into the finished result.

The greenhouse went from “something I’ve been meaning to do” to a functional space ready to be used, without draining their time or energy in the process.

Fun Fact: Not only did we build the entire structure, but we ALSO laid the concrete foundation to ensure it had a solid place to live. 

Why Hiring Help Is Also Time Management

There’s a misconception that hiring help is a luxury. In reality, it’s often a practical decision about how you use your time.

When you delegate the parts that are:

• Physically demanding

• Time-consuming

• Outside your comfort zone

  
  

...You free yourself up to enjoy the why behind the project instead of burning out during the how.

That greenhouse wasn’t just about building a structure—it was about giving the client back the ability to enjoy gardening, growth, and the satisfaction of a finished space without the stress that often comes with DIY projects.

We Help With More Than “Typical” Jobs

At Handyman LKN, we don’t just handle basic repairs. We help homeowners bring ideas to life—especially the ones that have been sitting on the back burner because they felt intimidating or time-intensive.

In addition to projects like greenhouse builds and custom installations, we also help with:

• Drywall repair

• Interior painting

• Fixture replacements

• Basic plumbing work

• Flooring repair and replacement

• General home improvements

  
  

If you’ve been putting off a project because you don’t have the time, energy, or desire to tackle it alone, that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing.

Sometimes the smartest move is letting someone else handle the heavy lifting—so you can finally enjoy the result.
