We got off to a poor start today with the framer not showing till noon but managed to get the walls up and the electrical line run and dropped in the trench before the rain started.
One of my support posts has sunk so I will be investigating that tomorrow and figuring out a fix.
I have a feeling the sonotube was not filled properly.

A new shop is always nice. Hope you can find the problem and get it fixed without it messing up the building schedule.

Thanks for the post.

I’m trying to imagine how you’re going to function in about 1/10th the space. I may need to stop by to help you work out some strategies. LOL

Always a great transition from seeing the floor only, to having the walls up. Looks great.

Agh! The roof will soon be on, and it will be dry inside, then the sun will come out and we will get no more rain – have you ever noticed how it always rains before you get the roof watertight?
Looking good

Good morning Guys!
I’m off to get more lumber to build the two end trusses that will support the ridge beam .Then it’s a matter of birdmouthing the 2×6’s and dropping them on the ridge and we have the roof.
Then I can call my gas fitter and get the gas line in.
I wish I had postponed the insulation as it’s tarped in a corner and killing my grass right now. <g.

It is looking good inspite of your setbacks. You’ll be there before you know it. I really like your greenhouse! Man that is nice.
