Greenhouse Raising Party

So, you ask, if the pad is leveled is there a greenhouse raising party this Saturday?  In short, no, there’s not.  We have discovered that the parts we need to be able to put the greenhouse up will not be here until next Tuesday.  At this point, we will be raising the greenhouse next Thursday and Friday (July 5 and 6) with the hope of having it finished by end of day on Friday.  We’ll be starting as early as we can to get as much done while it’s not blistering hot and we’ll likely work late for the same reason.  If you would like to come out and get some hands on experience raising a hoop house, please let us know!  Any amount of time would be appreciated.  We will happily feed anyone who wants to come out either day to help.  We will also have tools (although you're welcome to bring your own if you prefer).

The reason we are targeting EOD Friday is so that we can attend an earthen plaster workshop north of Topeka that weekend.  Since we want to use earthen plaster on the bale walls of our future home, we’d really like to have some hands on experience before we do it ourselves.  If anyone else is interested in going to that workshop (its free), let us know and we’ll forward on the contact information.  We might even be able to carpool!

In other news, we moved the poles we do have out to the farm yesterday.  We still have to finish sorting out the smaller hardware (screws, nuts and washers) to see what we are missing.  That process is ongoing.

Bit by bit, it’s coming together!
