It was still dark when I woke up this morning, which is the way that it is every morning. I a lamp on a timer. It turns on each morning at 5:22. After my morning shower, shaving, and scripture reading I helped Carol with breakfast. I always watch the news.
There was just a trace of snow this morning, but later there was about two inches. It snowed off and on all day.
Carol said, "Will do a little job for me." I said that I would. I didn't know what she wanted me to do. The jade plant that I put in a bigger pot last week, was leaning over. I fixed it and then it was leaning the other direction. I tried putting a large stake in it. The soil was to loose. The pot has for holes in the rim for hangers. I got some twine and tied the branch to the front hole and another piece of twine to tie the branch to the left side hole.
Caught a slug which was about 1 1/2 inches long.
A couple of days ago I hauled some of the 2x4's into house six. This afternoon I began put together, and I don't know what to call them. They look like a support of a swing set. The could look like one end of a close line. The above picture shows the first of five that I put up. I put it together while it is laying on the ground. The cross piece is a sixteen foot long 2x6 held up by two treated eight foot 2x4's.
Last week I dug the holes for the 2x4's. The pieces are pretty heavy. I tried to lift one of the corners. That didn't work. Finally I lifted at the center and propped it up with five foot 2x6. I got a eight foot 2x2 and lifted it all the way up. It reached the metal greenhouse bows.
I assembled another one. I did the same with this one except I pulled it up with a heavy piece of twine. I tied the end of the twine to the upright that I put up first.
I couldn't go all the way because the corner hooked on the electrical line going to the fan. I went back to the house to get step ladder. I could then reach the electrical line and move it to the other side of the corner.
The third one was quite easy.
The corner of the fourth one broke. I replace it with a new plywood strap.
The snow covered the top of the greenhouse making it a little darker. The photo is not to bright.
The same as above, but from one side.
