Day Three -- Raising the roof

Image 7

Four of us lifted the roof (it's not heavy really, just awkward, and kept lighter because we decided to put the remaining lower panels in, after the roof was installed, where they'd be at shoulder level instead of on the ground), and placed it on the uprights, while my son and his friend went along guiding them down, and locking them with pins. We installed the remaining panels and then the weatherstripping. I wish I had taken pictures of that process. i've seen a lot of groans about it, but once you figure it out, it's very easy, and goes very quickly!

The concrete pad slopes towards the front of the greenhouse, and I cut notches through the bottom of the 4x6's to allow any excess water to drain out and into the ground.

...end-of-flood =)
