| Mike worked on flatting out this area a little better, and diggin' down with the bobcat, in preparation for our firepit! |
 |
| We've been pulling out loads of roots! (This is only one pile...) |
 |
| Some of the rocks we are going to use in the firepit area |
 |
| Organizing the wood we've found around the property! |
 |
| Wood cut to the correct lengths! |
 |
| A wagon full of roots, and tree trunks cut and piled. |
 |
| The ground leveled and the Greenhouse base built! |
 |
| These are the windows we are going to use, which were left on the property when we bought the house. |
 |
| We had to purchase some lumber for the project + cement for the firepit area! |
 |
| The Greenhouse frame = three walls up! (Moving that back wall was an experience...) |
 |
| All four wall frames up! |
 |
| Now for the roof! This was something we could not do on our own, so we had to call in the muscle! |
 |
Judy, Chester, Cheryl and Keith arrived to help "raise the roof!"
|
 |
| Carrying the roof was probably the most difficult part! |
 |
| Mike, Chester, Judy, Keith and Cheryl were all needed to move the roof frame and get it in place. -I took pictures! |
 |
| They lifted one side of the roof frame onto a table. |
 |
| Mike came up with the idea of mounting two 2X4s, that were a little longer than the height, to the peak of the roof, and using them as levers to make it much easier to lift the peak of the roof 9 feet and also allow Mike to make adjustments once up there. |
 |
| Heave-Ho! |
 |
| This plan worked so well! I can't believe how quickly they were able to get the roof up! |
 |
| Greenhouse frame up and ready! Mike's simply making adustments! He's one smart, handy dude, with such a wonderfully supportive family!!! (The roof frame on the trailer is for our next project...) |
