Hey friends today on Gardening with Creekside we are going to be hanging the heater in production
one Greenhouse if you remember this production Greenhouse has not been heated it has been
basically essentially a Cold Frame and last year we had a little incident of the night
that got super cold and we lost some plants and so we're like you know we don't want to do that
again we're just going to go ahead and have a heater here because of course we have the gas
and everything with production too next door so it's relatively really simple to go ahead and add
a heater to this greenhouse so on those nights that it dips really abnormally cold we can pop
this heat on and our plants will be protected so it is the team of Jenny Jerry and Josh it is
the Jays today here today working on this project when Jerry and I hung so when we
did the production one Jerry and I worked in production too Jerry and I worked together
and then he hung the actual heater by himself using the Machinery so having three people on
the job today and already haven't done it before this should go really really simple
um we're getting everything set up here so Josh is on the ladder and then Jerry is on the little roof
of the hallway and what he is doing we're going to try to zoom up there for you is he is starting to
put on the first sets of brackets there's going to be two metal rails that this heater will hang on
and so he has already released some of the plastic up there so that it'll be easier to get the the
rails in so the rails are right here on the ground we do not have to cut them this is how long they
are and then the heater will actually hang from this so the heater is going to be essentially
right kind of where Jerry is it's going to be all centered just a little bit that is just it is the
way it is and that's how it's going to be so like I said we've already have one in production two
and it's going to look the exact same so let me come over here right quick and let me show you
what it looks like in case you've not seen it before these things are fantastic I mean they
they can chunk out some heat for sure so here we are now back in the next production greenhouse and
basically it looks like a big box right so the big box is actually the heater and then if you
can see those two rails that are running parallel towards me that is what we're getting to install
ready to install first then once those are in there nice and secure the heater actually hangs
from four chains so technically it could sway it doesn't it's pretty heavy and there's no wind in
here there are four eye bolts that screw directly into the heater hook the chains in there make sure
everything's little level and voila there you go so I thought it would be fun for you to see
a little work in action today I know that we're spending a lot of time up here in this Annex
Building in the last couple of videos the last couple of weeks or whatever but this is what's
going on at Creekside right now we are trying not only to get the annex finished and ready to
go for spring growing and eventually shipping and production and all that stuff but we've also got
to get these two greenhouses ready to go because our first set of proven winter annuals are going
to arrive they're going to be here in two weeks so they'll already be here and we've got to get
them you know nice and warm and toasty so we're trying to button up really this this production
one is because we're just having to do a little bit of transformation upgrades on it and so all
that needs to be done so without further Ado I'm just going to kind of set the camera up
and as things happen I will give you updates and explain what is happening but we're just going to
get everything set up get everything kind of get our game plan together and get this heater hung up
as close as you can because
just enough air left in that plastic hole in Plants the skin
all right so what we're doing right now is we learned from last time is
that it's best to have the u-clamps on the Arches before we hoist up this very heavy
yes and then we already have a Jerry put the bracket on so we'll lift this up and having
three people we can go ahead and slide this baby in there so that's the plan right there all right
[Music]
put in there all right my friends don't know if you can see me up here here I
am um so the boys obviously are on the ladder and I came up here on the little hallway roof
nice and secure up here no worries and because we had to make sure that the rail is flush with
um The Hanger that it's with so I've got trusty Hammer beating it in there
and the boys are getting it nice and secure and tightening down those bolts
and so then so this first rail is hung and then we will do the exact same thing over here
to the next one there'll be about 21 inches apart and uh yeah so there we go
[Music]
help me
okay George now if you could just go ahead and put it in the bracket okay
I need to put his on them for him
yet
okay go ahead all right you're gonna have to lower it some lower lower
so we've got both of the rails on nice and successfully much easier
than when Jerry and I did it by ourselves telling you that extra
set of hands makes all the difference in the world so what they're doing now
is they are screwing some self-tapping screws from the bracket in to the rail
that way the rail does not slide back and forth so it is nice and secure and very loud
so once I got two more screws to put in and then what we'll do next is go ahead and get
the heater unboxed we'll use the big bobcat with the forks on it that way we can lift it up and
hold it wherever we need it will be nice and even though it is January and it is a cool nice
brick January day it's about 60 I'm not 60. it's about 40 that has it makes me around 40 degrees
today but we are in this greenhouse and it is warming up quite quickly and so we're just glad
we're not doing this in August because it is it is a little toasty we keep shedding clothes
oh
my God
[Music]
all right so the heater is unboxed and I guess because of the fan on the back they have to
package it upside down and when you flip it up and during shipping these are the little
um I don't know vent guards that they direct where the airflow goes and on one end there's a spring
so you can put them in and you can adjust it well a bunch of them had fallen out so we were having
to fix them put them back in and once spring did go missing it's floating around here somewhere but
we'll find it and then get it put back in So now that the heater is unboxed it is sitting
the correct way it is sitting on the pallet and we'll go ahead bring in the big bobcat
with the forks lift it up on the pallet and go ahead and get it into the right height that
way I have a feeling I will be the one in the Bobcat so that way the fellows can be the one
um getting everything hung on there so let me show you I think they're putting on the
eye bolts and let me explain that whole process to you so the fellas decided to go ahead and do
a kind of a predetermined they came up with a one inch and so you can see where Josh has
already has the nut on there and he's now screwing it into the heater so they're making sure that
they're one inch so that way they'll all be leveled it's a lot easier to do that now while
it's on the ground than when it is hanging but this is how it is you have to adjust it
we can loosen this boat right here yeah and then get more down right right so it's easy
to adjust even when it's hanging um but yeah so this is how it does they've got little holes
so it's all nice and in there and nice and secure right here that's where they go and
then they'll have the four chains and they will get hung up so that's the deal with that [Music]
foreign
[Music]
so forgive me for it being a little noisy the Bobcat is running because they have they heater
up and they were able to go ahead and get it nice and perfectly level they made sure that the pallet
is leveled and then they are getting those chains hooked through those eye bolts you can see that
it's just wrapped around the rails one time and then they will once those chains are attached
with the bolts that all come with the heater kit then Jerry will come down and let that heater down
to make sure that it is nice and level because of course we want the heater to be level just
makes sense right and then back here in the back you can see the fan we've got good clearance away
from the wall and lots of room for the exhaust pipe will come out it's very hard to see but on
the other side of the fan there's a hole and it will have a pipe that goes across and then it'll
be above the little hallway roof and get vented out above all the roofs up there so have nice
good clearance for that so things are progressing quite nicely in here especially once we see when
he lowers down the Bobcat make sure it's all nice and level and we'll be good to go here
from the way that they're laughing with one another I'm thinking it's not level thank you
we'll see but I think that means it's not level one way or another
is it level
I didn't think it was the way y'all were looking at each other
so today's project is officially complete for today the heater is hung they got it all nice
and leveled so we can check this project off of the list and there you go bobcat and everything
else all the equipment's still in here the boys are taking a little bit of a of a water break back
there but the next steps what will be taking place is Electrical uh gas and then getting everything
the vent I've got to get all that hooked up in the piping and all of that so I was talking to
Josh and they're going to have to do a little bit of reframing work around right here to hold
all of that so you can see let me move over here a little bit um so the fan and then if you can see
that Silver Circle not this one the one up there at the top that is where the vent comes out and so
then it will go through the pipe will go through and up and out so it is nice to have this checked
off the list today we are going to kind of take a half day today and just work till lunchtime uh
today is Thursday yes today is Thursday so it is our date night so we're actually going to go out
tonight and uh so those are either like why do you time out so for a long time ever since our kids
were itty Bitties we started doing Thursday night every week we have we call it date night 99 of the
time it is at the house and just very low key but now that the kids are older and we can get out of
the house that is what we're going to do so we're going to get all gussied up and go out and have a
nice dinner and have fun so we want to not kill ourselves today and so we can enjoy each other's
company and not fall asleep while we're eating dinner so that is what we're gonna do just take
it easy it is a gorgeous sunny day here in North Carolina so we're going to soak up as much vitamin
D as is possible but of course the next adventure will bring you along for it as always thanks so
much regarding the Creekside y'all have a great day and we'll see in the next video bye friends
