Would it be possible to see a close-up of one of your corners please? For those of us who have had to re-drill them, it would be interesting to see how they were supposed to be manufactured.

Thanks,
Greg

Great job.

Looks like you are located where you'll get plenty of sunshine.

Greg,

I will not be at the location with the greenhouse until the end of the week. I will be happy to post pictures of anything you need then.

As for the corners, they look like tools_r_us's with the thicker #78 and #80 parts. This requires changing the short screw specified in the instructions to a long screw (i.e., three long screws instead of two longs and a short in part #14. This is accompanied with using four long screws in the other studs that you already noticed.)

This is stunning.

In my kit, the equivalent of the diagonal braces pictured in this image are paper thin. Around 1/16" thick. The braces pictured here look like the #30 and #31 horizontal braces. Were those numbered #79 and 80?

Greg,

This is another reason why the kit is so challenging to build; it seems to be evolving. What one user posts is not necessarily applicable to other users.

You must have the same setup as oraylawson. I did not understand why the instructions requested an extra short screw until I saw his picture and noticed that he has a different part for the diagonals. And, yes, mine are still marked as #79 and #80.

Yes, those are numbered #79 and #80, on my unit all of the diagonal braces are rectangular. The only drilling I did on it was to clean up some of the end holes in the braces where the plastic plugs didnÂt line up correctly and to add the angle over the door and to the back wall. With the rectangular braces the angle had to be shorter, fastened to the corner bracket with new holes.
