Filling In the Outside Walls.

Taking it to the bare timbers

Making sure there is no tripping hazards around the outside wall.

Removing the inside remaining dirt before bring in stone.

West wall , of the new greenhouse,  finally in place.

Sense there is a walkway on the west and east side of the new Greenhouse, I need to ensure there are no holes to “trip” into….my wife has a knack for finding all the holes I dig in the yard.  It could be in an area she hasn’t walked in for weeks….but I move one plant and she finds the hole.

After filling in around the walls, using the remaining clay dirt  that is inside the new expansion of the greenhouse, I will go back and cover the clay with soil for new plants or cover the areas close to the wall with sandstone to complete the walkway.  This helps to level the inside of the greenhouse,  before I place the sand and stone on the new floor area.

Luckily, where the dog’s use to sleep….in an outside area, it has about 3 inches of sandstone which I will move and place into the floor area of the expansion .  Its a long walk uphill from the old dog’s pen to the new greenhouse, so my work will be cut out for me.

Expecting  rain today in our area , so I need to get the dirt moved so it settles a little.  If your wall is a little more than 3 feet, be sure to put stone around the outside so it doesn’t freeze.  Freezing dirt will push your wall into the open area,  remember the path of least resistance is an open area.

Remember to Plant a little Green to give us a big Blue. Planting Trees gives us Oxygen.

Green House Expansion

Well, still working on the Green House. Ran into a Walnut Tree Root that needs to be dug out. It’s a large as the hole I’m digging. I have it almost out, 1 11/2 Feet dug down and 1 1/2 feet to go and dig. Tried to burn it out but that didn’t work, as you can see in the Photo’s. Should be able to put the blocks in by Thursday.  Can’t wait to share the photos with everyone. You need to have a good 3 feet of your green house in the ground to hold the temps in the winter. I build the front of the green house 4 years ago,  I use the rocks out of the yard I find when I’m putting in a new Garden area. I live in a Rock Pit I think. Can’t wait to put on the addition, however, received some blocks in Great shape, hope the local hardware store has broken bags to but to finish the new part. After all who can afford $4.00 a bag when you can get broken ones for about a Quarter.
