OT Let there be light! Pics

17 years ago

And John said "Let there be light" lol. He got my lights all wired in and now its ready to get cleaned up and the floor done and start moving in the plants. I ended up having to go to work from noon til closing but business is picking up at the shop and he was swamped. Lucy Lou is feeling much better and eating like a pig now but still needs to gain her weight back. I put in a pic of my clematis I got in December blooming in the garage and the iochroma from Kylie that was blooming. I was too late to get the pollen. The flowers were too old but I'll get some when it blooms again. One of BB and Goldie when they had a squirrel treed last weekend too.

    That GH is going to be so great when you can get the plants in there. Looks HUGE! And it looks nice too, I know some can be a bit of an eyesore but I like yous, especially with the lights on. It is very nice and I am happy for you that it is almost done. I know you'll put it to good use and have it filled in no time.

    John insisted it not be ugly or I would have been done a long time ago, lol. Still have to put the hardi board over the plastic and paint it all but that can be done a little at a time and still be used in the meantime. He surprised me and finished the lights after work. I walked outside and it was lit up like a Christmas tree, lol. I'm very excited.

    Thank you all. Its taken a long time but its good and solid and will be even more so after the hardi board is done. I need to build a couple of plant shelves or it will get full really fast like the garage but more light will get into the greenhouse so the shelves will be ok. Lucy you can come over anytime. You don't need an excuse to visit. You see how her belly is filling out already, lol. She is eating the house down now. Still giving her the red blood cells and if the predigested protein ever comes I will give her that for a while too. John met a guy from his island in Hawaii on the fishing forum that lives in Houston. They are talking on the phone and sound like two hens speaking a foreign language he is so excited and giggling like a little girl, lol. The guy spotted the taro growing in the pond in a pic he posted and emailed him to ask if he was from Hawaii and invited us down to go fishing offshore with him and his wife in their boat sometime soon when we can get away and Lucy Lou is better. I have wanted to go for so long its a running joke on the fishing forum. People put in light blue in their signature TAKE KRISTY DEEPSEA FISHING as a subliminal message, lol.

    Greenhouse looks great! You're so lucky!

    Great to see Lucy Lou as well, she's a definite cutie.

    Loved the tree'd pup! That's hilarious.... I can so see my dog trying to do that. I don't think she'd ever come back into the house if we had a squirrel in the yard.

    Thanks everyone. John is like a proud new Daddy, lol. Now I just have to get him over to Patty's house and show him her shelves so he can see what I want. Hers are three deep I think but I only want two deep so they can stay a little longer in there without bumping their heads. Hers is a little taller at the wall than mine. Its about 12 X 24 it looks huge now but will fill up quick once the plants go in. I told him I want to put the sink outside with a counter top so I have room to pot up stuff and I can just use a water hose instead of hard plumbing so I can move it if I want to. I don't want anything else taking up space in there. Gonna take a heater out there tonight and try it. I am still worried there is too much stuff on that one power source and don't want the fuse to trip in the middle of the night if there is a freeze so am going to run it tonight and see how much I can heat it with one heater. I think two will trip it. If that happens I'll have to get a new bigger breaker box before next winter.
