sounds like @Mike has a personal problem then.

you are gonna eat up all the data on this site doin' that shit.

i hope your camera explodes.

You'll hafta wait a couple of days for more pictures of minute details.

It's cold here but it's supposed to be nicer on Friday.

Tomorrow I'm going to tape up the ends of the hollow panels so they don't get moisture in them. That's perhaps a tad too boring to post pictures of.

sheesh...wow...we get a "reprieve" from the goobenor......

El Finito.... til I get some silicone.





That's a load-bearing shelf. Stiffens the wall when the wind blows

The only thing bearing any wind loading on the front is the flimsy sliding door track, so I added some steel.

I wish my closest neighbor was a close as yours in picture #1. I might actually like them all and not just one or two.

And half inch conduit for roof ties. I can't believe how flimsy this harbor freight 10x12 greenhouse would be if I didn't add bracing.

I guess they don't have wind in China.

Instructions say to simply bury the base plate in dirt and gravel. I put the corners & wall centers in concrete.



There is no way to latch those roof vents closed. Stupidest design EVER.

I just put longer bolts in the corners of the windows so I can pin them closed with fender washers and wing nuts.

That means I gotta keep a step stool in there all the time.

you wouldn't want @Duck to be your neighbor, the months and months of hammering, drilling, welding and other assorted noises, you'll kill him before the weekend.

I have to modify almost everything that I buy. Otherwise, it's built with planned obsolescence.

I can't picture myself ever living in town among all the humans again.

Nah, we'd just cancel each other out with each other's noise. I've always got a project going on.

Humans? Is that what you call them. I've different names that really aren't printable in a public forum.

 

[Rigjockey]

Get some tomatoes going in there.

Sarah carried three of the 60 lb bags of concrete mix, she helped me with the water level, and then last night she peeled the backing tape off of the 78 pieces of aluminum foil tape that I put over the open ends of the panels.

Everything else I did myself. Even the stuff that the instructions say requires 3 people.

YouTube people say they'll get full of moisture if you don't.

The panels are hollow like cardboard.

Nah! I don't need Mikey upset. I like to keep the peace when I can.
