The plastic panels are held in place by strips of plastic, cleverly engineered to snap into place and hold the panels under firm tension. The roof panels are designed similarly, only with rubber strips. Yesterday afternoon we put half of the wall panels and all of the roof panels in place. Putting the rubber roof strips in was murder on our thumbs.
As we gazed at our handiwork, Heidi remarked that the roof panels didn't seem right. I had to agree and we resolved to fix them in the morning. Hopefully a night of rest would heal our wounded thumbs.
This morning we wanted to get an early start, so despite the frost on the greenhouse and our still sore thumbs we went out to fix the roof.
As it turned out, the frost made the rubber strips so much easier to slip into place, that we finished in record time with minimal additional trauma to our thumbs. We just had to warm them up a few times.
Just another example of how something that seemed unfortunate turned out to be the opposite.
So, here it is. The place where Heidi will launch the lives of multitudes of beautiful and delicious vegetables. (And it really will be only Heidi. I can't stand up straight in the greenhouse.)

Well, you really can't stand up straight in many, many places!
Looks like the greenhouse was custom made for Heidi, though!
Love, Grandpa Z
Hooray! Just in time for the gardening season! Looks wonderful.
So that's how you do it, marry someone way taller than you and your own not-quite-elf sized items remain your own. Now, I get it!
I am very jealous - that you have the time to grow the veggie plants yourself! You can always come to me and I'll build you a smaller person's greenhouse for you to grow plants in too! : ) thinking of you all : ) Love, CeAnn
