fine, fine cast-away wood

one of my early morning rituals, especially when i cannot sleep, is to 'surf' the internet, how else do you find ecorazzi?, random sites i find that i've been meaning to return to, there are so many worth mentioning like the Ranting Jamaican who is currently pissed at american airlines, and so i scoured craigslist for local materials, as usual, and found what can only be described as a giant mound of good lumber, cast away by a dweller of 'the pueblos', our newest green subdivision that looked like it had eaten up a bit of desert habitat from my vantage, poor homeless little whipsnake said sustainable my ass, but i happily loaded up the studs and strips and 8 and 12 foot long boards that he was giving away as firewood... ah! and now to my point, the point, is, that now it is my greenhouse! ta-dah!





the only purchased items so far include wood screws and some metal joiners, and of course the 6 mil plastic i bought because i couldn't find it used anywhere though i asked everyone i knew, and found a post somewhere in michigan or north carolina giving away some greenhouse plastic, but i broke down and went to town and got it and now i'm in about 60 bucks in all, a number that will grow as i learn to put a roof on that measures my liking, something slanted for rainwater catchment that has a vent... stay tuned.
