greenhouse raising tomorrow

Reminder: greenhouse raising tomorrow. I've had few responses and those, mostly maybes, so I hope you can make it!

Sunday, September 8, from 1:00 to 6:00, let's raise the roof! And, you know, attach the glass panes, fit the door and vent, add plywood/siding/insulation/shingles, all that jazz. Show up for any portion of that you'd like. You needn't be skilled, just able-bodied and able to take instruction.

I've got work gloves and eye protection to spare. I'll rent nail guns, but if you've got a chop saw (mine is small) or a short ladder (the structure's peak is 12 feet), they would come in handy.

I'll supply a wide array of beverages and some finger foods; we'll leave open the option of a celebratory meal at the end.

RSVPs are exceptionally welcome.

And lest you doubt that I know what I'm doing - I don't! I've been operating way outside my comfort zone for months. But my parents have helped build dozens of houses, and they will be there, and that gives me a lot more confidence that we'll get this puppy up safely.

I have a cunning plan involving A watching Smiles while I come help you. We'll see if I manage to make it work and all the right people are asleep or awake to make it possible.

We had already scheduled an afternoon with friends we don't see much. A pity; I'd have loved to help.
