GREENHOUSE PROJECT!!!! Getting it started …the roofing that is..


This project has been years in the planning, months in the making, and days in acually getting it started....The hard-core, die hard grower in me refused to sit idly by and spend yet another winter thumbing through seed catalogs dreaming of the next season.  I had a workshop that was sitting idle and collecting gardening tools which to me is a huge waste of this particular space. As of yesterday it is a green house....Albeit a messy one with no plants but it is one now.

Last week we did a complete roof tear off of the old roof, put on ice and storm shield and tar paper. We then cut out holes for the sky lights, installed the sky lights, put the flashing on and then proceeded to shingle the roof accordingly....often working waaaaaaaaaaaay past sunset and plummeting temperatures. It has once again for me been a race against the weather...since as of today I have a snow advisory for my area (about 4 inches expected) tonight. As you can see by the pictures (because there was no way I was getting back on that roof today) we are almost done with the shingling. The roof is sealed but we tried to get as much done anyway.

This picture is of the inside...we will start the insulation of the greenhouse most likely next week.....when the temps warm back up a bit.

For those of you who are still growing and gardening...I will be joining you again soon!
