Peuse in use. Home Depot reject color. Somebody, a designer wasted someone else's time in line at the paint counter selecting this color and then returning it seeing how Peuse it was. I might have ten or more cans of designer reject in the garage. Love to have it handy. Probably put on another coat. Then expect to paint an attractive mural on the walls with the Peuse background from some other designer rejects. OK, so I won't ever show at the Louvre.

Our chickens in the moments after the door swings open in the morning to turn them loose in the field.

I'm guessing my input was not that important
I think if I ever did another . I would sink it 3 foot( yes I would get a backhoe ) deep or build 4' tall ferrocement walls for the thermal mass . This last week has been 100 so everything in the greenhouse is at a standstill as above 90 plants go into survival mode ,well except all the Pineapples they seem to love it .
I dont see you having this problem but cold is just as bad

Like you said it is about heat loss. Agreeing to lower the bar reduced the chance of heat home front. Hmm - neglected to mention your logic which favored her position.

Well I was talking BTU but WTU are a more potent force by far . Still looks good even shorter !

My moitor lost one of it's primary colors, some time back.......If Peuse looks like that on my monitor now.....
WOW, I wonder how Peuse , it really is ?.....
I've got AP stuff to buy.....a new monitor is low on the list....

Peuse is the color you see after a baby pukes up strained peas.

Caught the sunset on our Animal Menagerie couple of nights ago in a telephoto from the patio.

For Puget Sounders temperatures in the 90's prevent me from getting outdoors. Blood pressure medications keep my heart at a constant @ 65 bpm, regardless of activity level. 15 minutes and I am ready to wring myself out.
Stopped out on some errands yesterday and found myself near a carpet retailer. Around the side of the building was an old wooden dumpster with some pad. Just enough and then some to under line the Peuse Goose Sump.

Still in a quandary about balancing water temperatures. If I insulate an under ground sump against the underground moderating temperature of around 45 degrees then the water will move closer to the air temperature seasonally. In Western Washington wintry days are in the 40's mostly daytime. Occasional 3-4 weeks some years of below freezing and snows.
By the way total water volume, sump, fish tank, beds around a 1,000 gallons.
Our summer temperatures are modestly in the 70's on pleasant days, sixties when overcast. Once, twice, maybe three times a summer as with this 5 day fore cast in the nineties. The insulated sump will not exchange away as well the higher temperature from the beds and water lines in the greenhouse. Catch 22.
Now that all that is up in virtual space I have decided to forget about it and run a season. See what happens.
Oh, evenings when it cools off the Mrs. and I get out and spring load the painted hoops and slip them over the galvanized 3' posts.

She is pleased to see it becoming something other than the perimeter ground work. Thinks it is just right.

The first two hoops have 1 1/2" PVC purlins (3) in place. The cut off 3' on each end of the 40 foot hoop, a 1 1/2"tee, and and s short piece make up the gap. Tee's are facing downward for later attachment. Three purlins, three tees between each hoop. My shop was cool enough for a while mid-day to assemble some sections indoors. Eventually be a total of 9 Hoops for 32' length.
I have looked nearly everywhere for Hoop Greenhouse UV, and No Drip 6 mil and thicker greenhouse cover. Anyone with experience in selecting from a supplier - advice appreciated.
Taking advice for supplier of pool liner also.
