Potting Shed, Greenhouse Project


Here is the results of the first day's work on the shed. I dug out much of the sandy soil from within the base, to allow me to build the frame for the floor and the growing beds. Next the verticals were put in place, with supports, adding the top frame in stages. The next day saw the way the top frame is attached here modified slightly to lower it within the verticals supports. Two reasons for that: One, I discovered that the two main woods used for the project sold as 2 metre lengths are different lengths; the frame lengths here are a little over a 2 m, while the other piece that will make up the wall, door and window frames were shorter, and nearer to 2 m in length. Thus by lowering the top frame here this problem is solved. Second a modicum of strengthening is added by sinking the top frame into the bottom frame.
