    Looking really good! I have been checking back and checking back for updates and finally The beds look great. I am about to take on large project myself soon, well large to me, not as big as yours though, only 26x48. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Thanks UF. In my backyard, we just lowerd the wood into the dirt a few inches.
    Here, we didn't want to cut into the ground cloth, so we went the other way...and raised the dirt (sand) inside the troughs.
    Besides, we only paid like 4 or 5 $ a sq yard for the sand. It cost more for the delivery, then the sand.

    Cool, the liner came today. Which is right on time....we just finished putting the sand base in the troughs.
    I took the picture while standing on the pile of sand. You can see we removed part of the end of the green house. It was a lot easier to do that, then try to get through the doorway. We also removed the end of the troughs, so we could push the wheelburrows, down the length of them.



    Hope to have the liner installed in the troughs and the media beds over the weekend. Plus, maybe we can make a dent in the rock pile...

    Oh yeah....I remember having spare time ...

    Today, we worked on the electric some more. Planing on making all the outlets 20 amps, on several circuits..... just in case, we have to plug in lots of heaters this winter.

    Also, we started to cut the rolls of liner.... we just laid it into the troughs. Still waiting on the pex, need it before we can actually install the liner.

    Hope to have a few new picts in a day or two...
