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.
