    Converting existing greenhouse

    Hey, just thought I would drop in and let you know i have been working on converting my existing greenhouse over to AP. Done with the planning and framing. Pics to come later this evening, out to greenhouse for now. I have read plenty and taken ideas from many, thanks to all contributers here in DIYAP.

    Be careful with no guard on that monster saw. I used to have a similar one that scared the crap out of me when I used it, and I'm fearless.

    Look forward to more pics of your system.

    @Roger yes it is not recomended, this one was dropped years ago by someone on my crew, bent the deck slightly and wasted the gaurd.
    Im not afraid of much either AIRBORNE

    Re: Converting existing greenhouse

    So I got the beds in and have started plumbing. Done with all drains and need to finish supply lines. Looked allover the state and cant find a sorce for expanded shale or expanded slate so i got a truckload of #57 to fill my beds. Will be working on system all day tomorrow and hope to put some water in it. Will have some pics for you tomorrow as well. Have a good night!

    Here are some pics, I couldent get all the food coloring out of one barrel but it is plain to see it is coming out now. Everything is good so far. Will fill fish tank and crayfish habitat tomorrow.
