I sent my photos to my brother in Myrtle Beach who is an excellent carpenter. He said "It looks good but don't be sad if this winter you get a big snow storm and it blows over or caves in" Hmmmm that didn't give me a ton of confidence although I knew that there is danger of the plastic ripping apart in the winter but I really didn't want my construction to fall in after all this. So far the materials were $400.00 not bad for a greenhouse but still don't want to have to do it again in the spring. Plus as of now its taken about 4 days and I can see I probably have another 4 to go.
After his suggestion that I double up the 2x6 ridgepole I told him I was going to put up there on top, I decided that I was going to double up on all the supports and add one more right at the 12' mark where I would be having to join the board since I got 12 ' stock.
I'd say after 4 hours I had all four "doorways" sturdied up and all ready to put up the ridgepole.
so tomorrow or maybe the next day :) I will start cutting the 30 degree angle on the ridgepole after I figure out how I want to do that...I guess its the handy dandy table saw that I hate using ! Hopefully next time I post something here I will still be able to type because I'll still have all my fingers! Tally Ho and away!
