Back to work after the brief stay at my favorite resort in Alpine. Finished welding up the new parts for the gutter mount on the south side by the end of the day. Top photo - the not so precision notches I cut before welding the C purlin into place across each truss end. Hmmmm...20% chance of a rain tonight. I think I will let that pass. 53,70,23,0,B

OK JW, I GOT to ask cause this has bugged me for ever. Do you intend to capture that water for drinking or simply for the green house? There has to be a simple way for you to take advantage of it for your consumption.
Hey Ben...yes, I do intend to capture the water off the greenhouse roof for my potable water - not sure what filter system I will use at this point. All that creek water I pump into tanks when it rains will be used for the greenhouse gardens.
John, I purchased a Big Berkey purifier for potable water while at the Ranch. It's about $200 but will purify 1000's of gallons of water you get off the greenhouse at a rate of 3.5 gallons per hour. It's stainless and simple. Might be worth a look.
I'm thinking there has to be a cost effective and simple to build filter you could make, that would also handle the large amounts of H2O that would be coming off that large roof. Maybe an on-line search would reveal some useful results. I'm still wondering how the ends of the greenhouse roof will be finished out - left open, or closed-in somehow. I guess all will be revealed in the fullness of time!
It looks good, John, real good.
