Green house update!

Well we have been working hard to complete the greenhouse! It was 85% complete, just needed the front wall installed when we were able to teach the boys a lesson on air resistance! The greenhouse basically had 3 walls completed with the one wall just framed in when a huge storm rolled in! The greenhouse weathered the rain fine but the following day we had wind gust up to 40 mph! The greenhouse could not withstand that amount of wind when it was not closed in. The wind went I and had no where to go but up! So the main frame was lifted and several poles broke, leaving a mess! It was so frustrating! We were so close! But we used it as a lesson for the boys on both wind and procrastination! We had one day we could have finished it but we decided to wait until the weekend! Ugh! Lesson learned! Anyway we made sense of he mess and went and bought the needed supplies and rebuilt! We still have some work to do but this time it is structurally ok. The first day after it was up it was HOT inside! The plants will like it!
