Building Passive Solar Greenhouses

64' X 18'

The latest greenhouse project is a doozy - no doubt about it.  Look at the growing potential in this thing.  I think  it's wonderful.  
Cord is actually taking over this job after the person who started it had to move on. He comes in after the foundation is poured and the back wall is up.  
The foundation turned out to be not level, (to put it mildly) and extremely erratic.  
Cord and our great friend Rick spent a week correcting it.  It was quite something.  Now that it is righted - they can really get started.  
They are back at it - enjoying the southern Colorado winter weather.

This is what they did about it.

Tedious, slow focus - that's how you correct a problem - that and a band saw.  It  looks beautiful though - so cool - now they can continue to build with confidence that it will be true.  
The back wall was built as all one piece.  They took it down and as they leveled the foundation by cutting boards exactly to the contours of the concrete, they put the great north wall back up in sections.  
It is straight and true.

We will keep you posted on the project as the mighty one goes up.  Cord will be dodging storms and oh yeah, he's a blacksmith too - there is that.   There is so much to do - during lunch break we talk about what we hope to plant this spring. 
Sound, solid, straight, true.   Cord is really good at that.  Be sure to see more pictures of this greenhouse on the greenhouse page. 

Build it huge or build it small - you will love it inside.
