Dear Jim,

That's great! There's nothing like the thrill of a new greenhouse!

Hi folks,

They poured a concrete floor for the new greenhouse on the 12th and
finished it yesterday, 13 January. Meanwhile, our temperatures have gone
from 66°F (19°C) on the afternoon of the 12th to 20°F ( -7°C) this morning.
Skies have gone from heavy clouds and rain to blue and sunny.

I had expected to do without a nice concrete floor, but the contractor made
me a price I could not refuse. This is their off season, and they would
have been sitting at home doing nothing without my job, it seems. This one
is much much better than a gravel floor would have been.

Pictures are posted at

The gas company just arrived to run the gas line over to the new greenhouse
and set a meter. That means they will trench through the new gravel
driveway that the concrete contractor had to put in yesterday to get their
heavy equipment out. Oh, well! It is still, over all, net progress.

Regards,
