Putting the outside skin on the Greenhouse
Update 1/19/2014 - I got more staples and finished putting up the last corner of the film. Dad and I are going to work on the roof in 2 weeks.
This weekend was the second step in the greenhouse, stapling up the poly film to the outside of the structure. (Actually, I was hoping the roof would be the second but my dad and I haven't been able to connect yet.) The sheeting that I used is 6 mil thick, and is construction grade. In the sun and weather it will hold up for about 2 years and while that isn't great it is fine for now. I finished almost the whole thing in about 5 hours of work and only left a corner section unfinished. (I ran out of staples!)

| Getting Started |
 |
| One section down.. |
 |
| Front section is complete - and yes those are rain clouds! |
 |
| Corner section |
 |
| Back - if you are wondering why the ATV keeps moving, I used it as the ladder. Too lazy to drag one up from the garage! |
 |
| On the front door I used this tarp zipper that you stick on to the poly. |
 |
| Then you unzip it and cut it open |
 |
| Somehow Casey always gets in the middle of things! |
 |
| Trying out the door |
 |
| Done except that right corner there... sigh.. next weekend! |
Other items for the weekend - orange and grapefruit is ready! And man the oranges that didn't get frozen are just awesome. The grapefruit I did try and they are not super sour yet.. really good.
 |
| Pile of citrus |
 |
| Daffodils coming again - they are so tough! |
 |
| Sunrise this morning |
And finally - when I was leaving a herd of deer were in the pasture by the gate. One of them is the doe that thinks that I live on HER property so none of them were very worried by me.

Doesn't she look like she is wondering what I am staring at?
