Another day, another task, more excitement.
On the marketplace we noticed that someone quite local was selling a yard of crushed 5/8" rock for twenty bucks, a cheap foundation for the greenhouse. The main task being to transport about 1.3 tons of the stuff from A to B and of course, the little car that could was put to task once again, along with the pair of us doing the grunt work which we managed to complete in four trips.
The base is not levelled yet, but we needed somewhere to store the two side beams, which are ready to be matched up with the yet to be constructed end beams. I will paint the wood this afternoon so that I can start assembly tomorrow.
Although not level in the photo, the side beams give an idea of scale with the existing shed structure and I can mention that as with the tolerancing of the beams and frames and roof, and almost everything else on the project, that base will never truly be level, it will be close, but we are just building a greenhouse here, not the Taj Mahal.
Exact tolerances are for working engineers, not retired ones.
