One of the first things I had to see when I arrived was Tim’s stone greenhouse. He had started this when we were here in 2014, but it was only recently finished. Tim explained that he had lost momentum on it, but his brothers had encouraged him to finish it and had helped during visits. The greenhouse is impressive. (Eat your heart out Roger!) One wall is full height made of stone mostly done by Tim. It is it includes an extension with an arched opening. The other three stone walls are lower with the upper sections of the walls made of wood and windows. The roof is partly covered with clear plastic. Part of the idea is that the stone walls will absorb heat during the day and let it out at night.
Of course Gnomey had to come along to inspect the greenhouse!
The day I arrived (Tuesday) we mostly just hung out and caught up. I got to see their son Joel, his wife Agnes, and their new grandson, Vide.
Glad you arrived safely and are having good weather during a nice visit. Have to admit that ‘Green House’ is the most sturdy one I have ever seen photos of! Looks like you friend had a lot of help. Never seen Trusses that had that type of joinery. Love to see some close ups of where the Mono King Post connects to the top cord and bottom cords. The absence of plates is not only aesthetically pleasing but shows great skill. Bravo! Little guy looks happy. Enjoy the pickled herring!
Wow!! Beautiful!! And a lot of hard work!! Well done!! Thank you for sharing!! 💚 🪨 🌿
I am envious! Great work!
Wow! Quite an impressive structure. Hope Gnomey enjoyed it
