How the heck did we get blessed with so many awesome friends, such as these folks who offered to help work on the greenhouse today? Did I mention that it was over 90 degrees and tropically humid today while we worked in a space that increases the effect of heat and sunshine? Here we are this morning, just getting started - with 15 panels to install (7 of which were installed in April but blew out in a huge windstorm.)
Six hours later, we were sliding in the final panel!
Interior view of sliding in the last panel. It takes a minimum of six people to safely slide in a panel, including two to hold the ladders steady.

Ira intrepidly working at the top of the extension ladder tied to the frame of the greenhouse.

This gives you an idea of how high up we were working.

Thanks, Randy, for spending your birthday doing sweaty, hard, physical labor!
Cake break.
A toast to Randy the birthday guy, Ira the WWOOFer, and our wonderful greenhouse crew.

Significant progress also made on my farmers tan today.
Thanks, kind, hardworking friends!
