Building Small Greenhouse

Robert stayed with us all night.  Soon after breakfast we began working on building the greenhouse.  I got a lot of pictures of the progress.

We needed two piece of eight foot plywood six inches wider.   We were cutting them on cement blocks on the patio.  This cordless circular saw is perfect for this kind of job.

We build both walls inside of the chicken run.  We stood them up and placed the first truss at the north end.  The two pieces of plywood were put at the top the two walls.  A screw the the plywood into the end of the truss held it in place.

We put them up one by one until they were all in place.

We. Robert, put two perlons on each side of the peak to support the poly.

There was a large sheet of frosted poly under the house.  

 

We put on the north end and screwed on pieces of half inch plywood that were one and one half inches wide.  We sawed some on the patio.  We sawed the rest on the table saw in the garage.  Robert left.

 

There was a lot of leaves  on the steps that went under the garage.  It took me about and hour to clean up the steps.

A garden sage plant grew over into the steps.  It was in the way of cleaning the steps.

I put them in a large nursery can.  

and hauled the to a compost pile in the garden.

This evening, Carol wanted to drive to Fillmore and get an ice cream cone.  There was a big line up for the drive-up window.  We waited and waited.  One car a head of us turned around and left.  We waited some more and finally we were in front the order menu.  We were told when we tried to order that the was no ice cream.  We turned around and went to the Fillmore Market to buy a frozen ice cream.  They had a box of four.  I bought and ate it on the way home.  It had a lot of nuts on top.  That made it a little bit messy.

It is my brother, Paul's birthday today.  I gave him a call.
