Yesterday they continued working on the back and side walls and put sheeting on the roof to protect it from the rain.

looks more and more fabulous…
I know there is still lots to do…but what plants? is Andy and of course yourself considering?
It’s way too early to think of that. Andy doesn’t even know if it will work thermally. We can’t even get the wall painted until the electrician gets the electricity connected and the fans hooked up. Andy says it was 115° F in there today. 😀
It looks fantastic. So do you have a plan worked out for what will be going inside?
Oops! I’m way behind in answering here. Andy will try some cold weather crops this year when the guys are finished. He wants to see how long the season is extended.
Is the wall is designed to store heat build up to release later? I’d forgotten about fans inside greenhouses. It gets hot inside on sunny days.
Yes, that’s the purpose of the heavy wall. He bought an extension cord and tried one of the fans on low today, and it got the inside down to a reasonable temperature. Once the electrician gets things hooked up the thermostat is supposed to handle things, I think.
it is FINALLY a cool morning here that promises to remain all day. HEAVEN!
the thought of 115 degrees anywhere just repels me!
but when that’s all worked out and completed it will be lovely.
and just think what an adventure it’s been to build it! 😀
Andy ran an extension cord and ran one fan today. It got the temperature down even on the lowest setting.
It sure is looking good!
Thanks!
