For me,the start to every project begins with mathematical sketches to map out the scope of the project. Here I calculated where each length of tin was to be placed, keeping in mind the least amount of waste.
I also needed to calculate the needed 2X4 support framing boards to be added to support the tin.
So the first step was to add the 2 x 4 lumber for the framing support.
We received this fiberglass insulation for free, it is 6 inches thick for a 19 R-value. I hung it by stapling the fiberglass bats at the top and sides, then sewing the bats together to hold one bat to another. This worked really well !
Then came the vapor barrier, we used clear plastic and stapled it at each support 2 x 4.
There was a space of time before we could install the interior tin so I hooked up the outside sink.
Finally the inside walls go up. There is always a lot of measuring, more measuring, cutting (by hand), holding the tin up to make sure it will fit, sometimes more cutting, then screwing it on to the support frames.
A moment to relax in front of the almost complete greenhouse!
