So yesterday I went out early to get a jump start on the day ahead working on our new greenhouse. I studied it carefully to be sure my
days work yesterday was met with no errors that I couldn't live with. I needed to finish the baseboards and put up the support on the east side so I could start attaching the center beam.
So after a days work this is what I came up with, I used my carpenters string to be sure everything was level. I knew once I put up that center beam if its not level I'm stuck!
the far left corner vertical support was too short so I had to replace it and will cut them all off with the reciprocating saw today. I also will be adding 3 more vertical supports on both long sides to hold the ribs of the greenhouse. I've decided I'm only going to make one door though but make the opening at the far end a window with which I can put a screen in for the "summer when the weather is hot" .
I also decided that it was alot of rocks I was going to have to use to fill in that gap on the bottom from the slope so put another piece of 2x8 down there, I should of stained that piece first but I'll do that later , I am going to add wood to the back doing the same thing. Then I'll back fill it with crushed stones.
Now this is my whole reason for doing this, yep we are way up in Northern Vermont where spring comes late and winter comes early. Its almost August and the cukes are just barely looking like cukes! :)
And the tomatoes have a little ways to go too!

Now I must get back to work! Thanks for visiting! More work to be done on this green house I'm planting some experimental crops in it now!
