THE PROPOSED NEW GREENHOUSE

As mentioned in another post this is going to be the second structure we ordered. it will be 12 foot wide by 40 feet long with a roll up door at each end, and will have teen foot side walls.

 This view is looking north toward the stalls we built for the horses, which is now the equipment shed. I had to excavate the areas for the pier blocks in order to get them level. we also had to tuck it up next to the back flower garden so we would still have enough room for driving into the carport.
 this is the view looking toward the house. Holy cow, this area has a lot of rock after being used as a driveway for the last forty years of so, we are going to have to dig out the interior and remove a lot of rock, then add a lot of humus and some good compost.
Sadie has been supervising all of out projects on the place sine we got her.
Well the frame is almost complete. I still need to add some support between the up rights and roof trusses to support some polycarbonate panels that are still to be ordered.

Another view, showing the roll up doors on each end. This is to allow me to drive the tractor with rototiller through the greenhouse after I dig out the rocky soil and replace it with good gardening soil,
I am going to post this now, but it is far from being done, I will add more as this project progresses.

Making progress on the new greenhouse. Our eldest son came over and was helping us start installing perlings and poly-carbonate siding on the new green house.
 This is the east side or back side, there is a lot of vegetation that needs to be trimmed up for more light.
 another picture of the back.
 This is the west side of the green house along the upper drive way. this side is not finished yet.
This is looking through the greenhouse toward the north east.The item under the blue tarp is my back hoe attachment.
making more progress on this project.
 as of today the shell of the greenhouse is almost complete. This end, the sides, and the roof are done, as wll as some short pieces of poly carbonate on the other end.
 We still need to clean up some of the brush up on the hill behind the back side wall and install some treated @x12's on the inside walls at the bottom to protect the plastic.
 This side will also have a path around for maintenance.
 looks a lot bigger since most of the shell is on it, 12x40 is a good sized greenhouse.
 This is the end away from the house, that is yet to be completed. it is hard to see from the picture but there are only two pieces of poly carbonate about half way up from the bottom, there are still five pieces to go up.
 This is an inside view from the opposite end looking toward the house, color me happy!
