Finished Doors

Another cold day.  I waited until after lunch to start on the garage greenhouse door

I cut the piece for the top door.  I went right to work and got the frame and braces cut out.  I screwed the ends and two sides together.  The top piece was the last one.

I took the frame out to the greenhouse and it would not fit.  It was to wide and to short.  After thinking about it for a while under stood the problem.  I had to take it all apart and put it together.  It fit.  I got some poly that was in house three.  It had been raining some.  I brought it to the garage.  I put the poly on the floor and put the door frame on top of it.  I attached the poly to both end of the frame and then to the sides.  I screwed in strips of wood to hold the poly in to position.  I also put some door knobs.  Their not really knobs, but a handle to pull the doors shut.  When it is cold at night, the doors will be closed.  The heat of the day then top door will be open.

I put on the tow hinges and hung in the opening.  It looks pretty good.  The above photo is of the doors closed.

Another photo of the closed doors.

Chase Gray and his friend, Maanwell, stopped for a short visit which lasted about an hour.  I took them out to the hemp greenhouses. Chase in the above photo.

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.

Rain Most of the Day

After it quit raining this morning I walked out to house five.   Four people were out there.  Carla, Shane, Dustin, and a person from Fool Creek.  I don't remember his name.  He lives in Nephi, but owns the farms in Fool Creek.  He said that he was going to build a house in Fool Creek. 

Carla was busy transplanting the hemp plants into number one pots;

Above is the photo of the plywood and 2x4's that I was going to use to make the trusses for the greenhouse addition to the south end of our garage.  The trusses were way to Big.  I decided to make nine foot tresses. The greenhouse would be 9x8 which would be 72 square feet.  There would be a three foot wide bench on on each side and a three foot isle between. Each bench would be a little less than eight feet long.

I filled the bird feeder late this morning.  This afternoon I looked out the kitchen window.  The birds were feeding out the bird feeder.  The chickens were eating what the birds knocked out of the feeder.  At one time the birds were eating on the lawn and the two hens were scratching in the middle.  

I went out to take a picture.  The birds left and the two hens started moving in my direction.  It rained most of the day and towards evening there was thunder and hail.
