I did the front brace on the side wall. I started to layout the side walls.
I plan on getting the side wall up this weekend and working on cementing the footer for the main brace in the center. |

Nice!
Wow, coming right along nicely. That new section looks so weird from this angle.
At first glance, I want to say, 'Oh No, it's falling'. The ground around there must still be pretty soggy. Hope you're getting some good sun. Have a great weekend,

That wall was going to be 75 degrees but where my grow bed was put it to close to it so I made it about 81 degrees.
The back wall is 9’ high and the front wall is 8’ high and angled. This makes it look very strange from this view. This also makes the roof two different pitches. The ground is still damp but the ground feels more solid. As you are looking at this wall the door is 8’ and the left side will be on the big beam. Above the door and to the left of the big beam will be all OSB. To the right of the door starting at 8’ to the right will be poylcarb. We have had enough tilapia die we are eating our fish this weekend. They sure don’t like the cold water. Thanks I hope you have a good weekend also.

It rained me out on Saturday. A total wash out.
But Sunday was nice weather. I finished the west wall and the 8’ door is rough framed. I did some of the east wall but I ran out of light and 2 x 4s. I went to Lowes 5 min before closing and I have now have more 2 x 4s to continue on. I bought a 14 in. 2 HP Cut-Off Saw. The vents need steel frames and I needed a way to have straight cuts on angle iron. I bought a clamp to cut the OSB straight. Similar to this one.

Last wall done and today’s tomatoes.
Some of the tomatoes were picked early because it is getting colder and I don’t have the greenhouse done yet. |
