Update on Greenhouse: Half Done and showing promise.

Update on Greenhouse: Half Done and showing promise.

Ok I have to say, I have learned a lot. First and foremost, mad respect to people who build things everyday and do a good job. This stuff is REALLY hard to do well, and I have done … OK.

Second: always start with a really level surface. I cannot stress this enough. We are not quite level and it shows. Luckily this project is very forgiving as we got most of the materials very inexpensively, and our end goal is a greenhouse, which is part inside, part outside, so some leaks are not the end of the world.

Bees have to get in somehow.
