Blueskin Installed

Waterproof at last!!! The primary waterproofing layer is Blueskin (TM), which is a peel-and-stick bitumen membrane (basically a form of tar that is easy to work with).



A huge thank you to the PLx4 family for their invaluable assistance (from left to right): Peter, Preston, Pauline, Pearson


Plywood Mullions Installed

The thermal panes are now secure without that unsightly blocking that was keeping them in place previously.




Roof Vents Installed

The roof vents are an integral part of fresh air delivery. As the sun-warmed air rises in the greenhouse, the raised vents provide an additional chimney effect that draws fresh air through the buried ventilation tubes. The vents being raised above the roof allows them to be used even if snow accumulates on the roof.












Meet the people responsible for building the roof vents (from left to right): Brice, Bruce, Greg, Victoria



Exterior Stucco Complete

 Lots of work but the finished look is well worth the effort...









Rainwater Update

It works!!! The sweet sound of water falling from the roof into the cisterns...
