That's some great progress especially considering you were sick. I couldn't even be bothered watching TV when I had covid and here you are out there in sub-zero temperatures building a bunker!
My Mrs thought I was completely insane to do this. Needed some fresh air in the lungs and get the blood pumping! 💪 Back to work today but still shouldn't be back until Monday at the earliest
I tried to comment earlier but it wouldn't load. With how thick those beans are and how narrow your greenhouse is you could probably get away with running a full joist to where you are going to put the hatch door and use a simple interlocking joint on the joist and support runners that way
@@Mrdawhip Good suggestion. Still feeling pretty rancid so the nocturnal bunker building won't commence again until Tuesday evening at the earliest 😂. I only have one day off work until boxing day, very typical this time of year for a chef. Still looking forward to having a more practical and usable space again so I can begin cladding the greenhouse soon. It's going to get pretty stealthy real quick
That will be nice and solid with those boards on top. If you want to be extra firm you could put some 45's in the corners but it probably doesn't need it. The flat membrane effect of the top boards will stiffen it all up anyway.
@@SubterraneanRalph 45's is something I'm considering once I have the whole floor done. Nothing wrong with some over engineering. I have the timber after all. The floor will also be supported on all sides with concrete and rebar in time.
The posts are solid and still supported underneath. I was careful not to excavate too much under them. The side where the posts are are not of concern and will be concreted soon. Rebar will also be added. Wind is not an issue whatsoever. Water is my only area of concern at the moment. Timber arriving any day now for cladding

@@TunnelTrek it will be hard to put them on when you have the boards screwed down
Im a little concerned the concrete posts are just floating at this point, Surprised the wind hasn't blown your greenhouse away yet.
