Stories from Narrows Creek: Friday's Progress, last day of 2010 - Part 8

Stories from Narrows Creek. Friday, December 31, 2010. Friday's Progress, last day of 2010 - Part 8. I made a good start framing up the north wall today, that included setting the door in place. The door looks rather fancy for a greenhouse door, but as they say, looks can be deceiving. I picked the door up at a local St. Vincent de Paul store a while back specifically for the greenhouse and the price tag is still attached, $15.00! Is planning to come and help me, but we probably won't be able to install ...

Stories from Narrows Creek. Monday, March 28, 2011. Pipes are no longer under water but there is some mud and moisture, maybe as the air begins to circulate it will dry out? I bought a sump pump yesterday and within an hour the underground system was pumped out. I haven't had to run the pump again all day. I fasten another barrel over the fan, so that the intake air is being taken from about 7 feet above the floor. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Weathering the First Storm - Part 10.

Stories from Narrows Creek: Weathering the First Storm - Part 10
http://narrowscreek.blogspot.com/2011/03/weathering-first-storm.html
Stories from Narrows Creek. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Weathering the First Storm - Part 10. This greenhouse is 32 feet long, 16 feet wide and about 12 feet high covered in a single sheet of plastic that measured about 32x34 feet. Over the past 24-48 hours, we've had rain, snow, sleet, thunderstorms, and a driving wind from the east. The wind speed has varied from 15 and 25 miles per hour with gust to 40 mph and the greenhouse withstood the pounding without any sign of failure! Subscribe To Narrows Creek.

http://narrowscreek.blogspot.com/2010/12/delays-part-6.html
Stories from Narrows Creek. Sunday, December 5, 2010. Delays - Part 6. I had to work for 17-days strait at my day job, and that really tired me out and delayed the work on the greenhouse, but I needed to make money too. With only two days off and another 8-days to work, I'll finally have a 4-day weekend starting Friday, then maybe I'll be able to write about some progress. December 6, 2010 at 9:19 PM.

Stories from Narrows Creek: New Year's Weekend Construction Plans - Part 7
http://narrowscreek.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-years-weekend-construction-plans.html
Stories from Narrows Creek. Thursday, December 30, 2010. New Year's Weekend Construction Plans - Part 7. Moving the furnace has been a chore in itself. It was in an old building, difficult to access, and the furnace weighs perhaps 600lbs. I used the front-end loader of the tractor with a 4x4 chained to the bucket to lift the heavy heater and carry it to the greenhouse. The furnace is shielded and will have additional duct work attached that will circulate when the subterranean fan turns on.
