Yesterday we got a delivery from Menard’s with most of the heavy items we will need to get started in building the greenhouse.

Lumber for Greenhouse
Each of the cement blocks weighs 38 lbs, so I would have only been able to move 25 blocks per load. This represents then about 8-9 trips to the store. Having it delivered is a bargain at almost any price.
We have been digging the trench for the footings and we are almost complete. I covered the dig yesterday to hopefully keep most of the rain out of the trench. The rest of this week is temperatures in the 90s with 30% chance of rain, so I will hope to fall in the 70% chance of no rain and finish off the trench Thursday so I can pour the footings on Friday. I will plan to finish the trench and lay rebar on Thursday.
I keep waffling over the size of the footings. The latest thing I read said to make the footings 16″ wide rather than 12″ wide.
