Construction on the Hoop House

Last week we began a project on the hoop house.  It's time to build endwalls.  The walls are currently made out of a tarp like material with zipper doors.  They are only meant to be used for the first two years or less.  The zippers are starting to jam and bust so it's time.  This is how it looked.

After leveling the ground and putting down a base board Billy framed out the door.  Then we hauled over a large glass door.  It was a little bit of a hassle but we got it mounted.  Over the past week he has started to lay out the rest of the wall frame.  So today after we finished our maintenance we put a coat of linseed oil on the wood. 

Since it will all be inside the hoop house the wall will be exposed to amplified sunlight as well as repeated sprinklerings.  The coat of oil is for waterproofing and once it's dry we will coat with a UV protectent.  It's a work in progress but we are making steps.  It'll look real nice once it's finished.
