Shoveling

You may have been wondering whether I have disappeared or have given up on the greenhouse.  Nope.  I have just been busy with work and family.  

Today I shoveled out the dirt from the holes where the fish tanks will go.  The excess cement needs to be broken off, and then the tanks will be placed into the holes.  The electricity to the building is finally working and I have just purchased some used 55 gallon water barrels that I will rig up for my sump tanks.

I used Pano on my iPhone to make the panoramic photo.

Digging

I haven't made any progress over the last two weeks because I have been traveling to India.  But I returned this week and am ready to get going.  

Burr arranged for some help with the digging, which is a good thing because it would have taken me forever to dig out the space where I am planning to partially bury the tanks.  The guys did not finish this today and will hopefully be back tomorrow to complete the excavation.

They also dug a trench by hand for the electrical supply line that I am burying.  The electric company wouldn't do the tough to reach places that require hand digging.  So now we are ready for the power to be hooked up.
