There are a few causes for the slow-down on greenhouse progress. One is the climate (rain), and the opposite is that Dan’s sawmill wanted restore. And whereas he was at it, he determined to re-level it. Between rising tree roots and the bottom shifting because it expands and contracts with various levels of dryness and moisture, the mill wasn’t degree anymore. In order that took a while. Fortuitously, there is no deadline for this venture.

I discussed in my greenhouse planning post, that we had saved all of the outdated wooden home windows we took out once we upgraded them. These will grow to be the greenhouse partitions. What we did not take into consideration on the time, was the outdated jalousie home windows we saved when Dan remodeled the back porch. He changed two of them, and naturally, we stored them.

My thought was that they might be integrated into the greenhouse roof, as a result of roof vents could be very useful. Dan nixed that concept, nonetheless, so we determined we’ll use them on both finish of the greenhouse partitions. We plan to put in a photo voltaic attic fan to vent the greenhouse throughout scorching climate, and the jalousie home windows could be nice for serving to to facilitate air movement. 

With the sawmill up and operating once more, Dan is again to engaged on posts and rafters for the roof. Climate allowing, after all. Hopefully, I am going to have development progress to indicate you quickly.
