    Re: Mespe's Solar heated water AP Greenhouse Build

    I was able to get one side wall mostly up, had to leave for work, as I'm expecting a semi to pick up a motor.



    I used carpet tacking around the lower perimeter and around the door, but the wifey to work pulling out the longer nails. Will probably put a bead of caulking around the inside just to be sure.

    Re: Mespe's Solar heated water AP Greenhouse Build

    Still got a whole lotta work before it's finished. Bought alot of time with the covering, still has many holes that need to be addressed (places where doors are to be put, one for the battery compartment and one for the compost). Also need to add a fan, and play around with some plumbing and fix some leaks, and the list goes on and on,,,

    You've got some time before the lake effect snows begin. Will it hold the weight and stresses of that?
    At what point did our government cease to be of the people, by the people, and for the people?
