Greenhouse, up, up and....

Not quite finished yet....   We started this project like any other, a discussion first, and then in our typical fashion, BAM!  Within a couple of weeks we are digging, leveling, adding concrete blocks, and building.  The size gradually went from an 8x10 to quickly a 12x16.  Which is by no means large for a CSA, however it is a good start and awesome to be standing inside of it.  
    We hired a gentleman by the name of Alfredo who we found on Craigslist and he is doing a good job and moves fast.  I have been giving him a hand and I was with him outside all day yesterday.  We will finish it up tomorrow (Monday) and we look forward to it's completion in time for starting our seeds.
   A little out of order I know, but in preparation for Alfredo to be here yesterday, I had to finish up the foundation on Friday.  I needed help so I had Mr Ken Kosch give me a hand with the final digging by hand (I was able to use a front end loader to start with.)  I had the distinct pleasure of laying the block at night, in the rain, by myself with the light of only my Black Diamond Spot Headlamp.  It was actually kind of fun, almost in a weird, masochistic way.  Lay 45 concrete blocks and I promise you won't need the gym that day.


NOW, ONTO THE PICTURES!

 The foundation on Saturday AM prior to any walls.

 Gotta have coffee
The North wall is up!
 All the walls are up, but not all are covered.
 We are fortunate because we DO have good help these days!
(Even if he doesn't know the measurement)
