Well, today the guys from Trinity Construction gave us a hand and helped us put up the last 4 spans. Then Harry clambered around on the scaffolding all day trying to get the purlins in place. (The purlins are the long supports that run the length of the greenhouse and anchor the spans in place- I think!) Each purlin is about 8 ft long and heavy! One end is swaged, or narrowed, so it can fit into the end of the next piece. Each purlin has to be threaded through a fitting on the span- not easy when you're standing on the scaffolding 12 ft off the ground! Poor Harry. It was a lot of hard work on a warm day.
On a more positive note, Happy Birthday Madison!
