The day began with snow and frozen ground, and though the sun was good for the soul, it quickly turned our aberrant hope of firm soil into the honest to earth truth that we were pouring foundations into clay dominated mud. 
After a year of side room talk and out-there half thoughts, it was great to see the structure take form. From here, it looks rather straight and even, and maybe it was. A week later when we returned to add bracing and the overhead purlins it wasn't so straight. But the truth is, its only a greenhouse and sheet plastic bends really well. 
Concrete and morass: discontinuity materialized 
even though the soils were wet and concrete settling was unpredictable, the situation would have been worse without the dumpy level. 
Also on tap for the day - our first attempt at the new cold frames. New editions coming soon.Big Thanks go out to Melissa's Washington Conservation Corps crew and Gene for making this happen.
