Harbor freight greenhouse

[Brown Thumb]

My daughter wanted one for her birthday and I turned the two cheap ones I had into garden trellises.
Found this coupon for the 6x8 and it is good till the end of the year.
This ought to be interesting and she has to share it with me.

Normally it is 399.99 I couldn’t resist.

It’s Nice to put a smile on a kids face and it not involving a new phone or social midea account.

Exchanging it tomorrow the panels are smashed. I knew this would be a journey onto the unknown.

Dohh!!!
Hope they get it worked out for you. I swear our mail delivery service people around here (with the exception of our neighborhood postwoman) must have been fired from their previous jobs of airport baggage handlers for excessive roughness. I feel your pain.
If you get one keep us posted on how it works out. I've been wanting to get one for years, but with the weather we get around here I'm worried it might end up in knuckleheads back yard

Jacob my boy had to take a pee test in Allentown today for his new union job.
I asked him to exchange it.
I figured he would hit the Easton store first before his pee test.
To make a long story short 120 miles later he got a 85% undamaged one.
He just got called to do another pee test on Monday before he starts work WTF is that all about.

Whew, when I first started reading that I thought he had to exchange a pee test

(No political rant plantdude, no political rant...) When I used to work at a nursery most of the employees had to pass a drug test when they got hired not because the employer wanted them to, but in order to get decent insurance rates. In fact the owner used to have a bumper sticker in his office that read "The only urine test your getting from me is a taste test".
The company is probably just wanting to cover themselves for liabilty issues. Remind hm not have any beer this weekend. Some places are even picky about trace amounts of alcohol being in the system.

(Ok, that took some effort but I avoided politics).

Some people will "get clean" for a drug test, then immediately go back to using as soon as the test is over. The surprise call back is designed to catch these people.
Or, they may have had a false positive they want to rule out. Or their machine broke and it wasted the sample. My wife works in a lab, the machines are always breaking down.

Jeesh, you got to anchor the base to to a 4x4 on top a 2x12 base to even start building.
I always build from the top down.
Gots to get some wood now.
Found out today that the union does a pee test and it is the Company that is hiring him policy new employees get one before starting.

This thing is kinda simple to build.
My daughter put most of it together herself minus the door and vents in like 2hrs.
I was just instructing her how.
Memories

Instructing meaning sitting in a chair, having a smoke, and ocassioanlly shouting out, "I don't think that goes there"?

You know you have raised them right when you get to that stage

I got the base built and the wife ain’t talking to me since I just turned the backyard into a junk yard.
Ask me if I really care honey.
If she could could cook I might care a little bit

Come on, be nice. Just tell her it's that much less she has to mow from now on

More for her to weed whack around.

If anyone is up for the challenge of building one of these monstrosity’s this vid is the best for getting it up. I found it after I got mine built.

Conceptually, that greenhouse seems like it would be a simple construction. But the video reveals the absence of any color tagging (paint or tape) that would have made it less confusing. Congratulation on having done it yourself.

The gots numbers on the parts. Thank God.

Probably all the same numbers though
Congrats on getting it built.

My girls got the screenings down and the pavers in.
The only help I gave them was running the tamper.
Got the shelf / shed structure to keep it from blowing away in today.

 

[deluxestogie]

I have to say that it seems like a much more substantial project than I would have guessed. That all looks great now. (Are those block steps cemented?)

Just temporary, leftover pavers.
I’m too old to lift my legs that high without hurting myself.
