Progress on Greenhouse and Bambi Fence (part 2)

The seeds that need to be replanted may get attended to today (1/16) if the rain keeps up. Otherwise, the new greenhouse and the Bambi fence will take priority. The new greenhouse has arrived, construction is started and progressed as far as it can go with 1 person. The foundation is square and level and part of the frame has been assembled. The advertisement said 2 people could assemble the greenhouse in a half day. I am beginning to assume they meant 12 hours. 4 hours has been spent just lining up the parts for each step.

All but 1 piece of the Bambi fence braces have been cut and inserted. That piece has been cut. The ground dried enough to fill and tamp the postholes, but there has been more rain. The ground is too wet for stretching the fabric. If there is no more rain those items and the construction of a fence stretcher will happen this weekend.

The front porch is now complete except for cladding post and re-painting. The cladding can only be done one side of one column at a time because there are only 6 clamps and all six are needed for each board. The cement is supposed to dry in one hour. Unless it cures for a whole day the board can fall off, so the limit is one board per day. There are 20 boards. If the temperature is below 50 degrees, the board cannot be installed.
