Almost There

Final Stages of Greenhouse Construction VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

The builder and his crew worked yesterday. The good news is they got the last of the steel on and the solar fans installed. One screen door has been hung (two more to go) and downspout for one side of the roof has been completed. The bad news is that they still have two more screen doors to put on, one more downspout and the double poly for the roof. They will wait till we have a “calm” morning with very little to no wind to come back and finish. A warmish day would be nice but last night we slipped into the icy abyss of another polar vortex that is going to last through the weekend. The wind chills today are in the –25 range, which is dang cold. The kind of cold that makes your nose hairs tingle when you go outside. Thank goodness for the alpaca ski mask and gloves I bought at White Violet Center, during my internship last year, that got me through Indiana’s polar vortex. Nothing like alpaca fleece to keep you warm and dry, without the bulk.
The inside of the barn looks like a construction zone, due to the builders using it for material prep and a place to go to get warm. Anxious to get the greenhouse painting done so that I can build the troughs, etc. but nothing can happen till the plastic goes on and the space warms up. So we wait…
