Weeeeet! It rained all day! It may not be apparent in this image but it was very wet. Still had fun building this greenhouse.

Glazing going up. Definitely going to need more clips. This has been a great kit. Everything has fit well, the directions are adequate, and all of the parts are present. The only thing that I would like to imrpove on is the support over the door and how the panels are anchored. I think that I will achieve this by adding more clips and possibly screwing some of the panels down.

Day three of greenhouse building

Walls and support up. Tomorrow I'll complete the roof and may get to the plastic panels. The directions are pretty good. I noticed that many of the things that the Mudhouse blog mentioned as issues have been updated in the 2011 catalog. For the most part, it has made sense how the pieces are supposed to fit together. The one issue that I have had is the back wall which I've read is infamous for being difficult.

Another greenhouse helper.

Here are a few of my fellow greenhouse builders. They are really pumping out the eggs now.

Base done. Time to construct the walls.

Base of the greenhouse framed. Filling with rock before I put the walls up.

Oh no, Not again!! Gravel for the base of the greenhouse and woodchips for around the beds and paths of the backyard. I hurt all ready.

Peas, radishes, kale, and other things that I planted last month are up. It snowed 6"+ here last weekend. The lettuce starts that I planted didn't make it. Riley the boxer, decided that the newly turned dirt smelled too good and dug up the bed. I raked the bed flat and spread a bunch of lettuce seed.

Building a 10' x 12' Harbor Freight greenhouse. The base is 4" of 3/8" crushed rock. I like this size rock as it packs nicely. The foundation is 4"x 6" pressure treated posts.
