progress on the greenhouse (greenhouse post #4)

knocked one side of the red fence down


there were some tree roots in the way. too thick to use the shovel on. i had to use my hatchet.


i had to chop out a lot of roots


there are tons of tree roots in the area


the north and south walls of the greenhouse have been hiding under a tarp from the rain


laying some more pavers


with the red privacy fence gone, you can see my porch/sunroom now (paranoia! people are watching me!)


with the pavers put in where the fence was in the way. look at all those pretty pavers. they far are nicer than those old stupid landscaping rocks!


my awesome chop saw (miter saw) tilted at an angle from cutting a certain piece of milled lumber


the south wall, with cutouts for three windows, plywood put on and squaring bracing removed. and the special milled piece of lumber horizontal above the plywood


end view of the specially cut piece. the notch in the top is where the pieces of glass will sit. the angle cut on the outer edge of the top is to direct rain away from the notch. the notch in the bottom is to allow overlap over the plywood. the second, smaller notch on the outer bottom is a rain deflector. so rain doesnt run down the front and along the bottom and wick up under the plywood. it'll wick up into the little notch and drip down from there. and the end is beveled at 30 degrees. my dad did all these cuts on his table saw.


better picture of the outer notch on the bottom for rain diversion


the north wall (with the south wall behind it) with plywood/OSB put on and bracing for squareness removed. with cutouts for a door and one window.


knocked down the second section of red fence
