Last time I mentioned I was going to build a greenhouse. Well, I am. I bought a kit for a 9×6 greenhouse. It came in 9 boxes:

Well, seven boxes and two really long tubes. It took me most of a morning to unpack and I ended up with a deck full of parts:

Plus a few things stacked behind the shed:

Which left a pile of empty boxes:

The instructions are about 156 pages long covering about 137 total assembly steps. I’m up to step 14 and this is what I have so far:

and from the side:

It’s taken me three mornings to get this far. There’s a lot left to do. I can only work on this in the mornings as it just too hot in the afternoons and … well my back starts complaining after about 20 minutes of work … sigh …

The next step is to level and square everything up then I can start putting on the side panels and the roof — it came with a roof — somewhere in one of those boxes were parts for a roof. Right now I figure it will take another week of mornings to complete. I couldn’t work on it today as we had major thunderstorms and the lightning kept me indoors.

That’s it for this week, if you need me, I’m looking for my back brace.
