Tired



I should be striding on with the greenhouse work, but the energy level only allowed me to do fiddly work on the door. I popped out and took a couple of shots with a fisheye lens. The shot above shows most of the interior. Yesterday we put in drains and water pipes with the hope of feeding hot water from a solar heated panel on the roof and also supplying water to a small tub in the central island. The hot water tank to be is behind the brick arch, that should allow it to cool off in the winter by shedding it's heat into the house. At bottom left there is one low bed ready to take seedlings. As you can see in the mornings the windows are shut, both bottom right and in the pentagon up top.

This one shows the pattern of plastic looking straight up, the frosted stuff eliminates sharp shadows and diffused the light quite well. Still lots to do, but we are getting close to having a usable space. I think I will have to buy in some bricks to pave the areas where we will be walking and where there will be no beds. Wondering if the lethargy may be to do with the impending eclipse we are due to experience tomorrow. Hoping for the clouds to give us a miss, but the early morning timing may mean we don't get to see the show to full effect.
