The roof's frame complete, it was time to begin installing the poly panels. With the roof on the ground, this took no time at all. The panels along the roof's ridge were installed first, by stepping into the spaces where the lower panels would eventually go.

The roof vents simply replaced a panel. The end panel for the exhaust fan was cut from a piece of sheet aluminum, and the fan bolted to it. I was worried about the fan vibrating the sheet metal, but it runs quiet as a mouse. The same method was used for the inlet shutters, at the other end of the greenhouse. They're the first panel down the far side of the frontal-view pic (yet to come), and are blocked by the door in that picture.

Day two was complete, and it wasn't even lunch time! Actually, we were ready for the final step, but needed a couple more people's assistance. My next door neighbor always has his kids over the next day (well, they always seem to drop by at dinnertime, every Sunday), and he volunteered their services.
