Looks like you're building a tank there Tim. Certainly should hold up to the rocks and coulees of Eastern Washington!

Great looking greenhouse. Veggies in January?

The suspension does look pretty stout, Tim! While I knew you were working on the greenhouse, I didn't know if there was some work still being done on the Bronco - perhaps at an outside source, such as paint and body. I do understand about having to prioritize what we do with our time. I ca't wait to see it in action. I'm sure you and Maria are looking forward as well.

In the first pic, is that another greenhouse in the background?

Doug, That is an old Costco shelter that we used for store hey in at one time. We just never took the frame work down. We tie strings to it and grow pole beans there now.

We got the plastic on today!

Looks good. It also looks like it was a PITA! I suppose hanging pole beans makes sense for recycling the old shed. It looked to me like a greenhouse that had the plastic (siding/roof) removed.

I would have worked I'm sure, but it is pretty flimsy.

I am a little light on low end power, but if I lay into it a little too hard off the line it gets exciting real quick with the Detroit locker in the back. Yee haw!

Tell us how you do....

FYI:
Central WA is NOT Eastern WA.

even though we sometimes think we are our own state (at least in our own minds).

I know - having spent many years deer, bear and elk hunting and riding horses in that area. A friend of ours used to have a cabin up the Methow Valley and I've ridden horses into Eagle, Boiling and Surprise Lake on a number of occasions. Cliff Collins had a boat in Cabin on Chelan that I spent some time at many years ago. I also know it's only a hop skip and a jump across the river to 'Eastern' Washington.
