Good morning to ya’ll, and thanks for droppin back in. After our little cold snap, we’ll be back to lows in the 50’s for what looks like, all of next week. Good stuff!
Yeah, we started the greenhouse yesterday, but in all honesty, I kinda “yanked your chain.” We DID start it, but only set 6 posts. Wasn’t what I’d call a very productive day, huh? Not normally anyway. But actually I was glad we got those 6 set.
We’ve never put up a greenhouse number one, and there is no plans. BUT, the greenhouse was used, so everything has to go back exactly like it was. Problem is, we don’t know anything about the dern things, and surely not how anything goes!
But, our good friend Billy, has installed these things most of his life, and it’s all second nature to him. He was good enough yesterday to come out, square the building, and set the two corners on each end, and the two center posts down the sides.
By doing this, now all we’ll do is set the remaining 20 posts, 5 feet apart. We’ll run two string-lines on each side, one down low to show where our holes need to be dug, then one marked 35-3/4 inches down from the top of the posts. This will give us the remaining height of the other posts we’re setting. All set in concrete.
So, we at least know what we’ll be doing up until then. Our problem is time to get back to the greenhouse construction.
First, Red still has about 4 jobs to finish, maybe a couple nights worth, and we’re using the crew as well, because we’re painting the inside of the house. We then have to pressure wash the outside, decide if we’ll paint it or not, but we probably will.
So, we’ve got to finish this up prior to getting back on the greenhouse. Man, I’d like to get it done, but we need to finish these other projects first.
This is because we’re havin a big blowout here on the 21st. You guys know that Deb has done really well in regards to her cancer, and we’re throwing this cookout in her honor. We expect a hundred or so. If any of you guys live close enough and would like to come…then c’mon! The more the merrier!

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
