hey everybody sam here and angela and welcome to our channel welcome back to the next stage
of reassembly of our greenhouse yay it's been a hot minute since we worked on this thing because
life and life a lot of stuff going on on our tennessee property right now so it's
kind of like work on it when you can and right now we can so we're going to
exactly so tell them the name of the game the plan of the stand for today
well today we are going to try and get the roof put together put the roof on raise the roof
and then once that's done it should help square everything up so we can put the anchors in exactly
so now that it's said let's get it done before we get started
today i'm going to go ahead and take this down because when you have these hats on
these hats when you have hats on you can't tell that it's there and you knock yourself in the
head really bad so i'm going to get rid of it so we don't do that as we're working on it today
yes
alrighty we are ready to put this thing back together steps of the operation of the order is to
get that ridge beam attach my two little support brackets the little two by fours on the front and
back center of the wall to hold the ridge beam up put those together put it on the center top
of the part of the wall and then start putting the rafters in place i know this ridge beam is bowed
and i'm sure this is not perfect so there's going to be a lot of muscle involved probably
to get everything aligned assembled and put back together correctly so wish us luck here we go
foreign
all right so we're about 30 minutes into the roof raising and it's going great
um the i guess the biggest annoyance is some of the boards are a little bit twisty
but we kind of knew that going in the plane of attack has been me on the ladder
attaching things up top on the ridge beam and you laid out all the rafters
so it makes it hand off and go it's pretty easy it is what you guys saw there briefly
with the red strap was it had kind of warped and it wasn't really the ridge being warped yeah yeah
and so it allowed me to pull the wall up and the ridge beam to where the raptors fit like
they were supposed to and you did it yourself i did i was proud of myself you even made the quote
while you're doing that there's probably not many wives who would do this or know that it was neat
it took me a long time to learn how to kind of even sort of do ratchet straps so ratchet straps
the great mystery of engineering so we are exactly to our halfway point the whole left side is done
attached at the ridge and along the walls so now we get to rinse and repeat let's go there it was
so
do
well the roof is done and i have to say on the bottom side it was pretty
easy hey it wasn't that bad at all actually it was really really easy to reassemble the
pieces went together fine we didn't have to use a ratchet strap for this side of the greenhouse
just a hammer here and there give it a few love taps and that's it piece of cake framing is done
on to the next step and sam is holding what looks to be a fishing spear i'm gonna go spear fishing
out here in a field and it even has the little like cable thingy attached to pull it back in
yep in actuality put that rod there this is our anchor system for the greenhouse these
are known as arrowhead anchors they are from american earth anchors it's the same company
i've got the anchor system for the shed for got some more for the greenhouse this is a
different design this one gets driven in into the ground and you kind of pull it and it goes flat
and it holds everything down so we have this for the ground and then angela is holding the actual
part that goes into the framing member which will be the bottom plate of the greenhouse
so tell people what in the world that is so pretty much you stick the cable through the bottom of
it and it is a one-way ticket one way there's no pulling back out one-way ticket to anchor town and
i guess you cut off the top if you want to or just yep you can trim it whenever you're done i thought
it was a really cool system when i saw it because we'll be able to drill a hole and mount this into
the bottom plate of the greenhouse and then i mean if we want to pull it tight we can step
on it bounce on the wall whatever and it's really cool way of really cinching it down to the earth
so we got a total of seven of these which is more than a structure like this would need but i got
that many so that i'm able to properly square and keep everything with this front wall the doorway
it wants to get all crooked on us it's all crooked it is so we're going to use these
anchors not only to hold it to the ground but also hold it in place so it stays square
all right first step is to drill your hole for your anchor to go so here on our bottom plate
i've got a 5 8 forstner bit and i'm going to drill a hole right here in the middle
then we take our anchor and we get it ready like this we'll stick the drive rod through
at this point you're not going to pull this out by hand probably
so angela and i came up with this cool solution to do this and to pry it out
after you do that use the same pliers wrap the cable around it and i'm going to pull this and
it's going to make that arrowhead go from this way to that way and it'll lock it in the ground
okie dokie and then the last thing to do is to fish the cable through the thimble
remember this is a one-way
place it down and then we'll secure it with two little screws
and then for good measure i'll just do this one last time with the pliers this time that's it
ah
hi daddy
okay we'll see well i've got to say i mean as far as anchors go that was really cool they
were neat i tell you this is the second time i've used anchors from american earth anchor
and it's really cool systems i never knew such things are out there that are easy to install
totally legit super beefing and i mean kind of fun to do too okay when he first brought out the
earth anchors for the workshop i thought it was a gag gift it does look like a giant woods group
you'll see those again whenever we bring my shop over we've got a and sooner than
that probably the solar array oh move but whatever so we will see them again
but they're just hilarious looking because they're how how long are they 18 inch an 18 inch
screw yeah it's yeah anyway so if it works in wood why wouldn't it work in the ground true i love
it it is these are neat too though uh hands down that trick that we figured out as far as getting
that drive rod out because you know you use the rod to drive it down you got to pull it back out
the pliers and claw hammer there you go well i was like okay we need something to grip it and we need
something to to be like a level uh what yep lever he just bought a sam so it was just really neat
that we figured it out and that it works so well now the difference with this kind of anchors these
arrowhead anchors are permanent unless you want to dig them up out of the ground unlike
the ones that the workshop are attached with those are screws those are removable
which is why i'm going to be using those again for our solar array you guys will see another
video but just know that this style is permanent anchors and they are down in the ground probably
the ground rod is 36 inches several of them are probably about 28 to 30 inches down there so i
would agree i don't plan on digging them up just cut the cable and cut our losses if it ever comes
to that but we don't think it will let's hope not i want this greenhouse to like last forever
yeah so hey speaking of the greenhouse how does it feel we got the roof frame assembled now we just
got to get the the skin put on it and the door and the door yes as you guys saw we removed the header
of the door so we quit hitting our heads with the header we've already kind of scratched our
noggins a little bit we know what we're doing with the door it's going to be a really easy
fix a little bit different from what was beginning but it requires us to go to the hardware store
but that's okay we live there so next we are going to be getting into fixing the door which sam said
and then we are going to put screen around the bottom half for you know all the walls are going
to get screened put on them since it gets really hot here we're going to try and roll up the sides
during the hottest part so it gets a nice breeze going through absolutely this will have to convert
all walls or at least the two long walls because yes it gets a lot hotter out here so
that'll be exciting and then of course we got to put on the roof and then we gotta outfit the
inside and we've still got several more videos to go and sounds like it things to do lots of fun
lots of fun but we are into march now and it is fastly approaching our time for starting seeds so
we are getting a good head start to knock this out oh yeah it's go time definitely well guys thanks
for watching if you got any questions or comments you know what to do leave them for us down below
there are links to the anchor system down below as well if you want to go check it out
and i guess that's it for this greenhouse portion of
raising the roof you just said all my stuff i did now what are you going to say see you
guys next time on one of the homesteads see ya bye we're about to stop saying that pretty soon
one homestead tennessee homestead homestead homemade homes homebody homestead
let's get it done let's go
you've yelled at me you're yelling i'm excited shout out but i need ear plugs when you're excited
the camera locks your face anyway it would not it did not expose until you walked up
probably don't start till you walk in okay right we're not going to talk about this just yet
i had something funny to say with it okay to hold it up well or unless we're saying well we just
finished the roof that wasn't nearly as bad as we thought it's gonna be blah blah i'm so confused
i say that because i always had a timer on my phone or my watch whenever um we do videos
because it will only do a 29 minute clip at once so why do i sell this stuff i don't know just like
you like to talk like big dan t bobble salesman endowed with the gift of grab remember that no
you
