greenhouse progress

Still working away on the greenhouse... hopefully it will be all done in a couple weeks, just in time to transplant some of the leafy greens to overwinter!

The frame was finished last fall, but since we did not have a roof covering picked out hubbie Rolf decided not to put the windows in yet either, just in case some weird windstorm would blow them out or something.

We did decide to reuse the aluminum frames that came with the 4x4 foot double pane storefront windows, but as it turned out we mounted them upside down last fall so they all had to come out (including all the wasp nests). Other than the running around while handling heavy, heavy sheets of glass all went relatively well and the front is now finished and looking good!

Last weekend Rolf finished the front, rehung the door and installed the window on the left. Since the shed is leaning badly to the left, installing anything right angled next to it has been a bit of a challenge. Luckely we have a table circular saw now and are able to make nice straight angled cuts :-)

Next on the list is the back, where we need a door and a similar window on the shed side - and last but not least; the roof top ventilation and the plastic covering... we might need to get some help with the latter, manouvering a 14 feet by 40 feet piece of plastic does not sound like a two person job!
