Greenhouse Building

Bob and Malcolm continue making progress on the Greenhouses they are building at The Plant – March, 2014

 

MARCH 10TH

20140311Greenhouse  20140311SolarPathfinder

The doors and windows have been framed in and Bob uses a Solar Pathfinder to see how much sun will reach the greenhouse.

 

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

It’s always good to stop and smell the roses, admire the pussy willows and find art in unlikely places such as spill containment for the boilers outside building 3.

 

BAD PACKAGING

20140326BadPackaging  20140314BrokenWindow

Nothing is as easy as it seems. Bob has had quite a time receiving intact greenhouse windows. This shipment received March 14 was in bad shape.

 

DEJA VU

20140314BadPackaging  20140326DentedWindow

The replacement arrived in no better shape. It is unfathomable why the manufacturer is not taking the care to properly package their product.

 

WORK SITE AND MOBILE WORK BENCH

20140315GreenhouseWorkSite  20140315BlancheWorkTruck

First of all, there has to be music. Second, Blanche, Bob’s answer to a contractor’s truck, affords material transport, tool storage and work bench.

 

BEHIND THE SCENES

In case you think this thing is building itself, take a look at the hardware, power tools and expertise involved.

 

WALK RIGHT IN

20140315GreenhouseBlanche  20140315GreenhouseDoor

Well, now, that’s better! This greenhouse now has a proper door. Bit by bit, it is coming along. Please tune next month for another chapter on Greenhouse Building.
