not quite done it was raining so hard even with heavy rain gear i had to stop,i ended up raiseing it in three sections and having to leave to lower roof windows out and er,a....climb out and up to finish it off. if my wife would have seen me she would ,,,well ,i wouldnt be able to enjoy it for months. i had a lot of rb's fail but im sure rion will make good ive already had them ship some replacemnts that split and the rest of the rb1's and 6's split as well im not sure if or how i can replace them now thats its up but for now ive got many more fish to fry and only three days of vaction left, but i did see a few neighbors slow as they drove by and gaulk some, i felt so proud i waved at'em...

I really like that kneewall there.
Very professional looking job.

That cement mixer will come in handy for stirring up a soil mix!

Ric

bulbhound, see persistence pays! :) Now, when you gonna start filling it? LOL Geeze, no pressure huh?

Whenever I have needed an odd piece or part, Rosemary has been very good about replacing them. I even had a problem where a box went to my other house and she was really helpful and apologetic. When I took it down, moved it and put it back together, I had a couple pieces crack and was also running tight on the connector pins, she sent me a bag of those too. They are very good in that aspect.

I'm really impressed and I know you are going to enjoy your new toy.

Watch out for those neighbors. They'll be stopping by for leftovers before too long. :)

I am never moving again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I told my husband if he ever got a wild hair to move again, he could just pack his stuff and move cause I aint goin nowhere!!!!!!
I told him the only reason I moved with him this time was cause I stil needed his money to keep living til the greenhouse was fully operational and busy with customers. I told him if he ever moved again, the greenhouse would do well enough here that I wouldnt need his income anymore. It was a joke but at the same time---the truth.
Aren't I mean. I would never divorce him ---he could come by anytime he wanted lol. He said he is never moving again either.
I am just ready to stop moving. Its time to root somewhere.
Just when I thought I was rooted at the last two places, He transplanted me. I dont think I can handle another transplant. I am getting tooooooo old .

hi henry yes that mixer is a real workhorse roun these parts! its boss hog with whatever i put in it i read an article in georgia gardening about making walls and such with clay and portland cemnt! now im really curious! ive several wall and planter projects in the future here on the martian plateau and the thoght of using the clay out of the same hole ,well you just cant beat the price...

Great project.
Do you have a link to that article.
Lord knows we ALL got the clay! lol

Harbor Freight for the mixer?

Ric

Yeah, find me something to do with all this gray crumbly clay! LOL

henry10, ga gardening nov/dec2005 by gerald Klingaman entitled mudcrete, try georgia gardening.com the jist of it was six parts dry clay to 1 part portland cement tilled in with just enough water like stiff mashed potatoes and packed down to drive out air, so im not sure of the mixer but ima gonna try'er out reeeal soon. and how did you geuss harbor freight must have been the color... its niosy and shakes a bit but handles a load, ive had 6-80lb bags of crete in her and tumbles right along, watch the pour though, thats twice the size of any wheelbarrel ! and of course i didnt know that the first time i poured it out LOL! my whellbarrel took a dive like saturday night smackdown...the only real change in engineering was the walls he built were twice as wide as they are tall and didnt suggest any max height. but with a mixer large or small this should be easier but i think a stiff mix would still be required i can assure you when i get my gh settled in, ill be on this one and start a thread when i have some results

I remeber the first time I hacked cement.
I was about 15 skinny and knew it all.
First wheelbarrel load right over on it's side like yours.
Second load smaller and no problem.......till I hit the downhill.............
Guess no one still has figured out how to put brakes on them.
I took out a shrub and slammed into the form.
Luckily it tipped right in. lol

Again you did a marvelous job on the GH.
I notice even w/ the clouds and w/o a door it's fogged up.
It going to heat up nicely.

Ric

thanks ric it was difficult but its real dream come true.

Oh Ric, the picture of that wheelbarrow flying down the hill is quite an image. I can just see you watching it fly away. LOL Lucky that it dumped in the right place!

Oh it didn't fly away........we flew away..........
