Is it finished yet?




Ok, so it is not quite finished, But it does have a roof with Vent Windows and all the side walls installed. There are a few panels to put in the doors, and some pointy ones to finish the peak at each end.
THIS IS NOT A PROJECT I'D RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole thing was an experiment in total frustration, mostly due to the poor instructions. Even this morning as I was finishing up the roof panels I ran into a mistake in the instructions where the Center Roof Rail was concerned..... It is bolted together with 4 bolts, 2 of which have rafter rails attached.... it looked right but when I started putting on the Panels I found that it was off a bolt..... The panel wouldn't fit till I unbolted it and moved it over. What a pain!!!!!
Jeanne and I worked hard getting it re-squared last evening as the roof panels just weren't fitting right. It was out of square by over 2 inches. (at the top of the walls, the bottom was still square) I had to un-do a bunch of bolts and push it into square and re-tighten the bolts. AAARRRGGG...............
So here I sit cooling off inside, waiting for all the Blue Language to dissipate out there, hoping the neighbors are deaf....... I can finally put my truck in the Garage again. I cut up the big box and it awaits the Garbage Truck, I moved everything, and then started the Rototiller to move it too, but the starter rope yanked right out of it.... Just another thing to do......
So, now I'll finish up the details and then start building the raised beds inside the Greenhouse.
I must kill Jeanne's computer, and take away all of her magazines so she can't find any more ideas for the Garden Project....... One more new idea and I go live in the Greenhouse.
So, that's it for now. I'll try to get some Pix of the thing completed and edit them into here.

This morning Jeanne took Pictures of a young Coyote sitting on top of the Sand Pile on our property just 50 feet from the inner fence. He was watching the Alpacas (probably trying to figure out how to get past Ben to get to them) A very worrisome situation. Guess I'll have to break out the .30 cal and take him out before he gets bold enough to attack.
