The Brugmansia House

 Today was the day set aside to work

on the Brugmansia House, which means

removing the plastic that was starting to 

break down.  I double layer the plastic due

to this very reason.  After emptying what

was hanging on the walls it was time to 

start the process of dismantling.   But first

I needed to remove the hornets nest!!

Off came the roof!!

One thing I do is reuse what plastic I can.

This year I need to line the bottoms of the 

rainbarrel saucers.  Since we have some 

huge pots that come in handy as they don't

make saucers for those for the whiskey barrels

planters.

Then the rain hit!  Wind followed and the pine

needles dropped.  Rain delay!!

The tarp you see on the greenhouse was shredded

and so that had to be removed after the winds we

had of 25 to 35 mph.  The wind took out the south

or front of the Brug House.  Thank goodness the

plastic arrived early!!

Today was my day to remove the old

plastic and start the process of putting

up the new!

Above is just 3 walls worth of plastic.

Here is the frame we cover, I had to add a couple

more support PVC to the roof area this year.  We 

are looking at a different light for the Brug House

this year.

The 6 mil clear plastic is going up this year.

With the plastic cut and put around the base of the 

frame, tomorrow will be put up the walls day!

Then I can put the shelves and plants back on them.

Putting the Rain Barrel in place and move the PVC 

shelf.  This year I will be putting the Rain Barrel in 

the SW corner to make it easier to fill.

As the temps turn cooler the Brugmansia will be

going into their Winter home. 

Before the Plastic goes up, there was the cleanup

of the area around the Brug House.  This area was

cleaned out just a few weeks ago.  Yes, you can't 

see the gravel!

The above is the gravel area to the east of the 

greenhouse, which is Sable's area to potty.

Under the plastic is the Eppie Cactus that

came out of the Brug House.  I don't feel

like cleaning them all out.

Today was the day to get the Brug House

up and completed, well all except the door.

That will be done in the morning as I just

ran out of daylight.

Time to fill up the space!
