More construction…
It was just under a year ago that we put up the pump shed. My, doesn’t time fly! And what better way to celebrate an (almost) anniversary of that than to undertake more erection action.
This time the project was to get a poly-tunnel kit-set up before it got too windy and we lost the cover over the neighbours fence or something.
Having been told of a trick to help get the stabilisation stakes in the stony ground we tried it out today. And it worked a treat! Bang in a crowbar first, then the stake will follow. Genius. Although it still took some muscle power to drive them all in. That and big hammers.
With the help of many that participated in the shed building, and a few more welcome extras we got it up with relative ease, and quite quickly too. Much more quickly and easily than the shed, anyway. Thanks to all involved!
We even had time to install some of the gravel that we’d painstakingly shovelled out of the grass from various building activities. Pity we’ve only enough for one end, but another small trailer load and we’ll be sorted.
So now all the seedlings that have been cluttering up the table can start to wander outside to the hot house. I’ll just have to remember to be careful with the temperature. It can get damn hot in there, as we found out. Especially before any vents had been cut in the covering!
