Thank you, I appreciate it, you're too nice. Accumulating data helps me a lot because I don't have a lot of experience.

in uninsulated buckets (plain black with reflective top) the temperature is 3 degrees Fahrenheit below ambient. Insulated buckets (foam rubber under aluminum on the outside) the temperature is 6-10 degrees Fahrenheit below ambient. Both types have oscillating fans pointing at them.

The pumps are only on if the line pressure is low, below 80 psi. Nutrients are stored pressurized in an accumulator, and the lines up to each bucket.
LOL well that's relevent

Waiting mode today, freight delivery with 3 Weber grills. Biggest box is 255 lbs. A box going to the other place is 190 lbs. and will have to be lifted into the bed of an F150.

Dolly and ratchet straps ready, dolly has the 2 extra wheels to haul flat. My lawn tractor may be called into service if I think it can pull up hill today. Grass is kinda wet right now and it would be a 225' trip, with a hard left onto a steep grass hill in the middle

Maybe I can dolly it upright up 6 steps, looks tricky, not impossible.

Maybe I could tip the driver to take 2 of them up?
I just like building things, moving heavy ass boxes sucks.
Sometimes, after you do it, you wonder why you were concerned. I moved refridgerators with the same dolly. That was pretty shaky too though, now that I think about it. Lol.

If the driver will do it for a tip do eeeeeeet! Last time I did the move it myself really heavy thing was my unisaw out of the bed of my pick up. An engine hoist was involved. There were a couple moments there!

I see amber :mrgreen:......a sample is in order....sis has been asking for samples since late June ...lol.

Only bad thing is the wind got very bad last night and caused a bit of damage to my G house plastic ...thankfully it's the wall not roof.....I never have an issue with the plastic on the hoop houses even in high winds ....which are normal here ....do any of you know a good reasonably priced place to get those clear panels for green houses .....I'm thinking about doing that to the Green house I built ....but I don't even know what the panels are called ...they basically look like plastic windows...I've just seen pics ....anyone know what I'm talking about?



K,me either.....

Grills arrived @ 2. They were all at their final stations by 5.

Driver says, 'where do you want em?'

Me: "Well ideally, 2 of them up those stairs through the gate."

Driver: "that's not going to happen."

Me: (thinking) "No tip for you, good bye."

Called my buddy up, we put the big one on a dolly, ratcheted it tight, pulled with tractor through the front yard.
The smaller one, I just pushed with dolly.

The other one we uprighted, got on tailgate and hauled a mile away to the other house.

I'd say it was easy, but that would be a huge fucking lie.
We got it done though, injury free, with no damage.

No rain for 3 days, yay! I'll have them up and running in 2 days. I have informed the wife she won't be cooking for a while. She seems thrilled.

So now you have a charcoal and a gas option? Very nice.

This should be thick enough SM ....never know what may go down in the G house.


Seriously thank you though ...that's exactly what I needed to know ....I built my biggest house myself ...it's nice and very roomy...but the plastic just doesn't hold up to the winds coming out of the canyon ....hoop houses are low pro and obviously round ...so they take the wind like a champ ....I'm guna panel the big house before next year ....thanks again for the info.

My pleasure. My advice is to stay away from the corrugated fiberglass panels. Brand new they have roughly 85% light transmissibility and lose 5-7% per year. Also stay away from the polyethylene panels, UV kills them in 2 years

Yeah those are flimsy and break down from light fast ....I was younger on a budget before....my wal-mart green house building days ...lol....I laugh now but it worked ...wasn't pretty and barely lasted a season but it worked....That link you shared has some nice panels for around 60 bucks a pop ....not sure how the warranty works ...but the add offers a decent one....I'm guna look deeper into it.

I keep getting over heated working in this extremely high humidity and heat ( sucks get older and being a construction worker) , anyway yesterday was a unusually ruff day. So I started drinking and smoking as soon as I got off work with out eating anything. So if I posted weird shit last night I'm blaming da weed. But for the headache I have this morning I blame myself . I hope I wasn't as asshole but I'm sure I was an idiot ( for that I blame the alcohol).
Hydrating with whiskey is the best
