Building the back of the new greenhouse, part 2
On Saturday, I wrote out and posted pictures of starting to build the back of the greenhouse. This evening, I present part 2 of the build, finishing the roof.
This is where I left off on Saturday.
I didn't get any pictures of the roof until all the steel panels were up and screwed down. This is how it looked.
After that, the next thing to do was to remove the tarp from what had been the back wall, now covered by the new roof.
Another view.
And another view. It's a mess back there...
Then for some reason, I decided that a gravel floor would be better than a dirt floor. That means shovelling out the top dirt and levelling the area, and then hauling in the gravel with my little trailer, 1/2 yard at a time, and shovelling it onto the levelled area.
It looked like this.
That's all the pictures that I have right now, more to come.
I have to finish the floor, and we have to put the sides on between the posts. I'll have another report when we've made more progress. I didn't work on it at all yesterday or today, I've been letting my back recover from the shovelling. This stuff takes a lot longer to do now than it did when I was younger.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out my post, eh!
Here's part one of this series on building the back of the greenhouse.

And remember,

and i dontthink peopel realize the signiofgance of steem engines when they just use sily photos of a steem engine like here....steem power was so formative so important to modern industrial existance...without steem power we wouldnt have ever had anything else...no electricity no computyers no internet no steemit
steem engines and steemppower ....i want to make an analogy with Blockchain and decentralization...one day blockchain will be seen as technology as important as electrcity and the internet and as the word "as", as "as" allows us to speak as lazily as we want and thats as much as I want to use the word "as" but as you can see as I keep using the word as I am beginning to slowly understand what the word really means and as someone who enjoys etymology and understanding where words come from but as crazy as it is nd as much as I want to explain "as" as Im using the word over and over as its easy to keep using as I am doing this as I wanna stop as i am trying nd it seems we dont even know the meaning of important words like "a" and 'as" and "the" what RE those words?!?!?! and the verb "to be" is SO important
Yes, steam powered the beginning s of modern machinery, from factories to farming. The steam engine in my picture is a portable unit that was used to power farm machinery among other things. I took the picture a couple of weeks ago at an annual tractor show near where I live.
NICE your up to $136 and usualy your posts are just making not even a dollar sometimes so this is going to CHANGE thinsg for you

Yeah, I don't know what happened, but this post sure did shoot way up!
No complaints from me! :-)
I've been looking atother things to post about because come winter, I won't have a garden to post about for about 5-6 months.
I try to be consistant with posting every day, I miss a day once in a while, but not very often. I just keep workin it!
Nice, keep up good work
Thank you!
Impressive job on that roof!
Thank you!
...Thats going to be one awesome greenhouse - will house many veges no doubt. Following the build, cheers
Maybe in the future they will look like this... they are called 'Algae Airships'
Well, that's a rather cool thing!
Nice. A greenhouse is my next homestead project. Thanks for the inspiration. Looking forward to hearing how it works out for you.
Thanks!
I should be doing another update on the plants in the greenhouse pretty soon.
What a great job!
I am jealous of the size! Mine is small (only 6x6x6) but I fill it to capacity.
Next year you will be in heaven enjoying the time in there
Thank you!
My first greenhouse, the one I replaced with this one, was 6X8 with about 5 feet of height at the front wall. You can see it in some of my pictures. We built the new one pretty much right next to the old one.

Build that Greenhouse upward and onward -->Skyward.
I am looking towards "Vertical Agriculture and Energy harvesting!
Much Respect!
I'm still trying to figure out how to do vertical planting. I haven't tried it yet, but I'd like to do it in the greenhouse.
What a difference when that tarp came down... let there be light!
Yeah, it was a big difference!
Wow! Great work. Going to be really nice when completed. Thanks for keeping us posted. 🐓🐓
