High Tunnel is Up! Many Thanks to our Helpers!

We finished putting on the plastic this morning.
The high tunnel is just about finished, and we wanted to say a huge "thank you" to all of you who helped us make this happen! Special thanks to our WWOOF volunteer, Madeline, who put in several 10-hour+ days on this project and our neighbor, Dan, who gave us free reign of his tool shed all week and to Mike from People and Planet who kept us fueled up with a big box of bananas and apples. Also much thanks to Bart, Pieter, Nineveh, Ariella, Jynelle, Kyrod, Tim, Craig, Lynn, and Nina who all gave up part of their weekend and plenty of sweat to get it done.

Hanging the first door.

Lots of drilling into steel on ladders- hard work!

Shoveling gravel under the baseboards - also a good workout!
Putting up purlins.


Ladders moving everywhere.


More drilling on ladders.

Victorious!
