I painted up to the fish tank. As you can see I ran out of light. It is too hot to paint in the afternoon.

It is raining but I able to paint some more. East front wall the big center beam…
It is slowly turning white in there.

I painted some more last night.

pinballlooking · 01-17-16, 08:43 PM

I was able to switch to using a roller and a brush that helped speed it up some.
Finally the painting is done. It took almost 6 gallons. Painting around the fish tank was a pain. I am glad I am done painting because I really don’t like to paint. On to the next thing.

"because I really don’t like to paint".. LOL! but it looks like you are a real painter.. You do nice work!
I know how you feel. I never minded painting until I went into the Navy..
First couple of years, not too much painting.. But, I landed in a painting division on the USS Wasp(CVS-18).. A WW2 carrier..
About a dozen of us, Painted the hull, from the waterline, to the hanger bay deck.. Not once, but twice! In one summer!
I remember that summer, hanging in a cargo net under the bow. From the water line to the flight deck needed painting. All the way up 70 feet! Today, I still run away when I see a paint brush.!.

I have been busy building the greenhouse and I have not been planting plants. Nature helped me and started some tomato plants for me. There were some small tomatoes the fell into the rock and started to grow.

I took some time and separated them not a bad start. I still have my pepper plant that almost froze.
I planted some lettuce seed.

I need to move on to my pallet racking so I can get the rest of the 55 gallon barrels put in the greenhouse.

Two pallet racks height cut down. I now need to grind the welds off one side on each of them and cut down the width to 2’. Then weld them back up. I have three of these to cut down.

pinballlooking · 01-21-16, 09:54 PM

Two of the ends are now cut off. Now I need to trim off all the supports and weld the legs back on.

pinballlooking · 01-23-16, 10:31 AM

Until I get my monitoring setup and that will be a while because I have to dig a trench for the conduit.
I added some old school Wi-Fi camera. So I can see the temp on my phone or computer.
the camera pans 360 so I can check in on the rest of it. Since the greenhouse is painted white you can see really well at night.

It is 32 outside.

pinballlooking · 01-24-16, 08:48 AM

The pallet racking is all cut down to size and welded back together. I hope to be able to put them up today.

Is your unit for sale or do you have a patent for your aquaponics system?
