Greenhouse Progress....Part 2 The Video

Since our yard slopes away from the new greenhouse, I decided to do a quick video so everyone can get a perspective of the greenhouse relative to the yard and lake. This video was taken from our deck, and as you can see the roof & purlins are installed and the siding & flashing are in place.

Greenhouse Progress....Part 2

We spent a full-day Sat attaching the greenhouse to the house. Lots of work, lots of planning, lots of exercise and a little bit of luck...and the frame is up. Here's a photo as proof... Hard to tell in the picture, but there's no roof and no glass installed yet and the siding is still ripped apart. It was a lot of work getting the wood attached to the concrete, and cutting the siding to get the wood attached to the house. Still a long way to go in the form of 800lbs of glass, but this is tremendous progress. Thanks Ned.

Back from the Left Coast...High Tide Jail

This is what the beach looks like just South of Encinitas. Very rocky-cliffs and as you can see from the photo (looking north), you can end up in high-tide-jail if you're not careful.

Back from the Left Coast...Fire

We did a little tour of the Rancho Santa Fe area on our way back from Escondido. As you'll remember, this area was hit hard by wild fires. It's an area with huge canyons and incredible homes. Sadly, as the photo shows, many of these houses are now gone...and yes that's a bath tub.

Back from the Left Coast...Frisbee Golf

We had a great time playing Friday happy-hour Frisbee Golf. Perhaps the picture might give away why it ended up being so much fun. Sadly, despite me thinking I can really throw a frisbee pretty far, I was a lightweight compared to the guys that were able to get the disc to roll. In the end I was 2 over par and I believe the winner was something like 7 under par. Needless to say it was fun and a really beautiful park in Rancho Santa Fe.

Back from the Left Coast...The Mother-Ship

Here are the ladies at the "self-realization" center...or what they call the mother ship. These gardens were amazing, and had quite an amazing view of the ocean too. The second photo is their famous Conestoga Pine. This pine is pretty huge and done in Bonsai-style.

These guys are huge...but cute...but why is he staring at me?

Back from the Left Coast...Beachtime!

We're back from our trip out to visit Sharon & Dave in San Diego, so I thought I'd post a few photos. This is Encinitas Beach, just down the street from Dave & Sharon's. Notice anything wrong? Look carefully...the ocean is on the wrong side of the land. Stay tuned....I'll add more photos from the trip...
