The new project

[The Haj]

I have been debating putting this on here, not knowing how fast progress will be made,I figure it will be better than nothing so here it goes.

[/IMG] This si a picture of the frame being squared up. Although at this point Wish I would of rasied it up 4 feet off the ground. I still probably will in the near future..

This is a picture of getting the first bow raised. It was quite a feet getting this far thus the ground were we live at is like shale concrete.

[/IMG]

This is finally all the bows are set in place...Woohoo starting to finally look like something.

[/IMG]

Got the center bar in place,it really help with the support of the bows...
Will post more pics as I progress, waiting on some backorderd pieces as well.

Is that for raising frags or something?

 

[The Haj]

That is the plan so far It has been about a year in planning and budgetting but everything seems to be moving in the right direction.

 

[Huhhhhh]

WOW, that's going to be one sweet frag farm.

 

[The Haj]

Huhhhhh
Thank you sometimes when you out so much time and effort into it is nice to hear good praise. The louvers, blowers and atc should be at the house tonite. So hopefully after work tomorrow I can install them and post more pics.

Eric, Thanks I just opened the louvers when I got home tonite and they are busted off the mainframe..I will take a closer look at it tomorrow and go from there! Will keep all interested parties updated.

When I bought my house it had a hot tub in the garage, be wary of the humidity that a frag tank will put into the air. I have tools that are rusted and had to treat for mold on the walls.

Good call Murf, I had to install a vent in my garage from the humidity created by the large Koi filters in the garage (they are 4' square of open area plus the 180 gallon Q tank in there), nothing has rusted really, but maybe a hottub is different, or because you didn't have the garage vented maybe?

Updates over the weekend!!!!

We had a breakin the garage what a bummer welder,biscuit joiner and several other tools gone as well..so that kind of put a damper on the weekend. Ok let see what I got done

This is what came in the long awaited box. Busted up louvers and the exhaust fan...With a little technician tap and a cold fat tire it was repaired..

So the next step was cutting a hole in the wall. This made me feel a little queasy but ohwell so I went for it..

So I figured I would atleast test the fan before lifting it in place. finally something went good this weekend it fired up.

Hopefullly I will recieve the rest of the goodies later on during the week..If so I will be installing the atc sensor as well as the blower for the 2 ply on the greenhouse..

Funny I just completed a greenhouse as well, however mine is made from PVC. Not nearly as nice no fan should be functional enough to protect the crops from the Colorado hail. How did you decide to cover the frame. Also are you a reptile breeder?

Very cool project. Though I think if I were to build one there would be a battle between me and my Baby Girl over Plants vs. Coral.
