Dear Jim, That's great! There's nothing like the thrill of a new greenhouse! Cynthia Mueller College Station , TX >>> jshields104@insightbb.com 1/14/05 9:34:55 AM >>> Hi folks, They poured a concrete floor for the new greenhouse on the 12th and finished it yesterday, 13 January. Meanwhile, our temperatures have gone from 66°F (19°C) on the afternoon of the 12th to 20°F ( -7°C) this morning. Skies have gone from heavy clouds and rain to blue and sunny. I had expected to do without a nice concrete floor, but the contractor made me a price I could not refuse. This is their off season, and they would have been sitting at home doing nothing without my job, it seems. This one is much much better than a gravel floor would have been. Pictures are posted at http://shieldsgardens.com/Clivia/cliviahouse.html/ and the pages link through the "Next" button. The gas company just arrived to run the gas line over to the new greenhouse and set a meter. That means they will trench through the new gravel driveway that the concrete contractor had to put in yesterday to get their heavy equipment out. Oh, well! It is still, over all, net progress.
