Plastic is on

We hired two pros, Robert and Jeremy, to finish most of the serious construction on the greenhouse. With Peter's surgery and all, it was the only hope of getting the greenhouse finished this spring. Robert and Jeremy were awesome, getting a huge amount of work done including putting the two layers of plastic on. That's a difficult job because you have to maneuver heavy rolls of plastic while balanced on the purlins of the greenhouse. I definitely had lost some sleep worrying about how we were going to get that done safely this year. They made it look easy though.

The furnace, fuel tank and electricity need to be done still. Robert and Jeremy got the furnace and fuel tank in there, but setting them up needs to wait till the snow melts and the subsequent mud resolves, which should only take a few sunny days. And there are other pieces to finish, but we are shockingly close, considering.

Waverly asked Robert and Jeremy each, "What your favorite Mother Goose Rhyme is", which she loves to ask people these days. Robert's is Humpty Dumpty and Jeremy's is the Cat and the Fiddle (my favorite too). Waverly's -- and Peter's -- favorite is Old King Cole.
