Finally got around to at least getting the base of the hoophouse anchored. This whole decision of whether to build it now or wait till spring has been up in the air for a while. At least, with the 4×4 rough cut cedar beams that hold up the steel ribs positioned and the anchor posts set, it’ll be relatively easy to get the frame up and then skin it…whenever. Even on a warm day in February or March! Flexibility! Options! Or maybe just…putting it off. I do want to purchase new plastic—what’s on hand now is around five years old, gotten milky, past its prime… In any case, today, I pounded in six 3′ T-bars, three per 20′ side. That little screw is only for the moment, it will all get bolted together with metal strapping or brackets. I’ve done this before… :)
You have wonderful farm stories, pics and knowledge. I hope you come over to Farm Dreams to share from time to time.

Looks like a firm anchor! DH and I still haven’t decided whether or not to do a greenhouse on our rural homestead…we live in the South…
That sledge hammer looks HUGE! It must be the angle of the camera or something.
