Building a Massive 30'x60' Greenhouse | Trenching Ground Posts + Framework
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- We get a head start on next year's growing season assembling our 30 by 60 foot Rimol Greenhouse. Our rocky soil leads us to trenching our ground posts, once level and plumb we complete the bow and truss assembly followed by purlins and wind bracing. After three days of hard work we cook up kickin' swiss chard and craft a few ferments with vegetables from the garden.

Guys I miss watching you cook with your garden veggies, I'm 70 and I've never had a garden look as good as yours....you make me wish I was young again, and lived in Alaska...❤
I feel the same way.
I know, right?!
I wonder if they always eat standing up or if they ever sit down. 🥰
I agree.. where are the bugs eating everything and Powdery Mildew!! With their love and expertise, they've created a food paradise!!
I watch in the hopes to learn how to do better... I really need to figure out fertilizer!
19:29 When Eric says it’s sketchy, you know it’s SKETCHY!
That’s what I thought too 😂😂
Superman and Superwoman build a greenhouse,easy peasy!
easy peasy? Me thinks it's too breezy, but that's just cheesy.
Funny you say that because superman came to mind when thinking about these 2!
On a lighter note, my husband put up a new ceiling fan today. 😂😂
I swear I don't know how you two do all that you do. You guys are amazing!! ❤❤
Not bad. I was quoted $70 for a new driver's side sun visor plus $166 labour (or was it $166 for the part and $70 for the labour??) But, in any event, I bought a visor off Amazon for $46 and installed it myself!! My husband was very impressed!
I know what you mean :) I changed a doorknob in my hallway the other night and I felt like an absolute BOSS ... until I thought about all of the things that Eric and Arielle do in a SINGLE DAY :) :)
10 ft in the air holding a frame oh hey look a chicken in the garden howd that happen i almost spit my water out laughing idk why but that got me haha
I reacted the same. I thought Ariel was going to comment on the amazing vista that could be seen from that height. When she commented on the chicken, it cracked me up laughing.
... We never had the answer either, how did the chicken find it's way in?
Ariel: Be careful, I need you!!!!
Men watching: ❤ melts.
Eric is dam fit too.ls there anything this man can't do.
Not a single cuss word needed to be beeped out during the construction of that framework! You two are super human! 😁🖤
Aloha. Much better than I!
I love how you both work together to get a job done. You are respectful of each other, show patience, and help each other without having to be asked. It is a joy a couple like to work together.
when I think about the huge quanset building,now the big greenhouse, AND your huge garden with raised beds and large fencing you have built this year WOW!! What an accomplishment, and just you two!! So amazing!! That's in addition to your other regular chores!!
I never tire of watching Bandit! Love that dog 😊!!
Yeah I hope they rest for like six months straight, once the season turns... this pace is too much!
I wait all week for the next episode, Yes I am a senior 70 and wishing I did this when younger
I feel the same way. I'm 71 and wish I had bought a large piece of land I moved to Maine in 89. Mike from Maine
@@mikecronin8825 Ditto! In New Hampshire and retired. I pretend. I garden in the summers, have a CSA with local farms and orchards, occasionally buy fish, lobster, or clams when I'm at the coast, occasionally buy wild game meat from a local shop, and hike the trails of NH. At my age that's as good as it gets!
Ditto! I am 68, and feel the same way. I garden, cook good food, and enjoy my RUclips videos. I wish I had made different decisions when I was younger! Peace!
Back in The Day My grandmother used to put sheets over the plants to help protect them from freeze
I have done this
... If you know it is going to happen, if it's unexpected...
Aloha. We still do.
In Whymo, we saved up milk judges , cut out the bottoms, and put them over the plants until after danger of frost. We had awesome gardens
@@carolynsilvers9999 I forgot about that too we used to do that too and coffee cans
I rarely envy people - but, boy, would I love to have a partnership like yours. The adventures, hard work, cooking and sharing meals and tasks is just magnificent to see. Looking forward to the greenhouse.
Well said!
Wow. Gardens grow amazingly fast up in Alaska.
The number of summer days is shockingly short, but man it’s made up by the number of hours in a day!
Whoa, I didn't even think of that, but it makes sense that the big fast growth d/t all the sun time! I do not have a green thumb at ALL!
Aloha. When I was fishing, I still had my sunglasses on at 2300!
Aloha. Used to be a teletype repairman in the Navy. Can’t even deal with ikea nowadays! Kudos to you!
Thank you both for being so inspirational in how to work together. I've been watching and learning better communication techniques, and a show of support for each other which my husband and I have been integrating into our marriage. We've been together for 11 years and we always struggled with our communications and listening. An occasional "that's a good idea" or "that looks great" and having the patience to hear each other out and/or try something the way the other person wants to try it has truly been life changing for us. I just wanted you to know that watching isn't only entertainment and enjoying beautiful scenery of your home, but making a difference in relationships from your example too. From my heart to yours - sincerely - I thank you!
Wow that is very meaningful to us, we have been together for about 17 years and also have struggles. I think relationships take constant desire to grow as a human and truly understanding ourselves so we can be a loving partner. Definitely easier said then done. Take care ❤ thank you for watching.
I can not say enough good things this is way better than tv
I would totally agree and take this over TV any day!
Your patience must be endless. I can't even assemble an IKEA shelf without raging and/or crying. You have my undying respect. Can't wait for the next growing season with that magnificent greenhouse.
Has anyone nominated you two yet for the Dynamic Duo of 2024?
Many times you come up against difficult tasks and then you prove that where there is a will, there is a way… at least for you all that seems to be the way it is!
Thanks again for an awesome video!
Tractor definitely makes this job a lot more tolerable.
I Personally Think The Two Of You Work Very Well Together. It Always Makes Me Happy To Watch Your Videos. 🙏🕊️🌹🥀🌼🌻☕💜❤️👍😊
You guys are machines! Its amazing what you two can do in such a short amount of time.
They really are - and a fantastic example of the Frontier spirit we so admire up here. EVERYONE that I try to share with tells me they already follow.Very famous folks up ….but don’t tell them! ;)
You guys never do anything on a small scale, everything on this property has been mega. Always finding a solution to any challenges and fixing errors. This green house has been like putting a meccano kit together with no instructions, well done.
I was glad to see you set up a pool with rocks for Bandit. You could tell he was happy. I bet you two are really enjoying your fresh produce again. It looks so vibrant.
One of the best tricks I have learned to stop frost damage is to spray all the plants before the sun sets with water and then again early in the morning. The water protects the plants and any frost damage is minimal, if any at all. It also saves the plants from damage caused by covering them
what a wonderful way to start my weekend!!! My two favorite Alaskans!!!
Mine too. And I’ve been here going on 55 years. They are much admired.
I swear! You did all that hard hard work on the shop then immediately switched gears to building the greenhouse while the insulation was going in on the shop!! You're absolutely AMAZING!!!
Teamwork at its finest!
Your RUclips channel should be tutorials for all your homesteading projects! Many homesteading RUclipsrs should watch and learn!
Great work, guys!!
Y’all work harder on a daily basis at your place than people do on a 9 to 5 job and you always make sure that you’re doing a perfect job, with you doing this all of your projects should last a lifetime. The 2 of you are just super talented and amazing, and you still make time to make a delicious meal. Can’t wait to see the finished building. You deserve a break after this for sure. Y’all ROCK! Love ❤y’all!
One day I'm going to be patient and go to bed instead of watching your videos, but today was not that day. I happened to see it 19 seconds(!) after you uploaded, so I really had no choice.
The greenhouse is looking incredible - I have no concept of imperial units of measure, so 60 feet tells me nothing, but seeing those long lines of posts and how far apart they were really drove home how HUGE this thing is going to be. You're going to be able to have a garden only every two years with all the food you can grow there! Excited to see it all come together.
18.5M =60 feet
Three feet in a metre, I believe.
@@diannebayley4644 3feet(36inches)/yard. 3.28ft(39.36inches)/meter
39 inches per meter
I miss Alaska. Thank you so very very much for your show. Thank you again for your show and your DOG.
Aloha. I agree. If you’ve been to Alaska, you miss Alaska.
I need a nap after watching you guys work!
PLEASE, learn from my mistake. Develop a seasonal rainwater catchment system to water your garden. Keep your well water for your personal use.
So much rain here…and so much snow. But catching rain not a bad addition!
This is pretty solid advice ❤
This is a wise suggestion. 👌👍 Just one earthquake can re-configure their water table too
To further this comment, make sure you have an overflow system in place too or else you'll have a soggy quonset floor! Wish I had a better overflow in pl😊ace!
Working like crazy this summer 🌞
Y’all are just amazing. You work so hard. I hope when you rest in the evening your bodies repair themselves. You won’t be young forever. God bless. Be safe. ❤
The intro is who you are, hardworking getting done!!!
"This project is going to take a little longer than expected." Pretty much the truth for almost every big project we every do too!!
Thanks Eric and Arielle for taking us along
The hardest working couple on the interweb! All that work and video production too!! Thanks for your efforts!!
A midsummer night’s frost. Shakespeare meets Alaska!
You guys will be able to export veggies all over the world with the size of that thing!
That’s their plan, feed Alaska then the world 😂
I never wanted this video to end! I was so engrossed with everything, especially the delicious meal you cooked after laboring all day on the gigantic greenhouse...and before I knew it, it was over. 😢 You two are so amazing. I know so many of the comments reiterate this, but really, you two are super soldiers. Look forward to watching this build continue. ❤❤❤
"Just pretend winter's not coming . . . "! You guys are great!!
You must know you guys are the masters of all things building, hunting, fishing, cooking, keepers of the land and being really a wonderful couple. Even that odd long haired cousin that has shown up from time to time. I like him too. 🤣Love how you both work so well together.
Why did I squeal with glee seeing this was new?!! :)
Yay! Now you have a place to over winter your beautiful perennial herbs like sage and lavender. Lavender berries are a great addition to your dried herbs. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing with us. I’m always inspired by your hard work and positive attitudes. 💚
I love Bandit🥰
what a Greenhouse!!
They can put 2 of my condos in there… WOW!
I spent 7 years as a heavy-duty welder fabricator. A dirty dangerous job. Four-year apprenticeship then 3 years with the same company. A man came into the company offering to undercut the current supplier of overalls. We were each individual measured for the new overalls. At my fitting, I looked at the material of the new overalls. Noticing they were a polyester mix material. The current supplier supplied pure cotton overalls. I turned to the salesperson stating these would not last as they would melt/burn with the sparks from grinding and welding.
I also spoke to the works manager his reply was" to give them a chance".
The new overalls were delivered and we started using them. And the overalls began to become very holly. One welder insisted on grinding with the sparks coming into his waist. He cut a pair of overalls in half on his front.
About 2 weeks later the company requested to be released from their contract. Welding and grinding sparks are hot.
Hi, my favorite people. ❤❤❤
You guys know so much about everything, and the way you work as team, WOW. God bless you guys. The garden looks amazing, love the chickens, Bandit look lonely. Have a great weekend.
Wow there is nothing you guys can't do. That was like building a spider web . Nice meal. I loved seeing bandit in his own bathtub. He is so cute❤
I always thought you all had the most beautiful gardens at the old place, but I really think y’all have outdone yourselves on this one. I think this garden is more gorgeous than at the old place
Love watching yall build together. Yall make a great team. I look forward to each video. I've always wanted to do what yall are doing but I am to old now. I live my dreams thru yall. 😊
Ariel in Beast Mode... That recovery on the first bow - WOW ;)
Again, you two give me hope in the younger generation! Enjoyed
Insane to hear it frosted in July!
Love it and haven't even watched yet. Whipping out the sweets and am watching with enthusiasm. ❤
Well done guys!
Nice to see the dog and cat out having fun. Love Bandit in the pool!!! Great job you two. You are both amazing.
Yep. Bandit in the pool was the best part 🐕🦺
You guys have done an amazing job developing your homestead. The raised bed garden looks like its producing bountifully. You workshop really looks fantastic with the ends enclosed and the inside spray foamed. Nice job you two. What an adventure you have carved out for yourselves...
Looking forward to seeing your greenhouse design. New concept maybe. Great videos of Alaska
❤ "Let's pretend winter's not coming" lol very funny Arielle
Ah good old "reading over a manufacturers instructions and finding flaws and missing info". Love big kit builds.
You two are just the most amazing team. I love the garden stuff.
Another off grid task getting done!😅🥵 Beautiful veggie garden with wild flowers blended in and around the garden!❤
Thank you guys for posting another adventure!!! Watching you is hands down the best part of my week.
Always an adventure ❤
Love this show a great show every episode amazing people great stories
Go big or go home. Can’t wait to see that greenhouse full of life!
You 2 do not shy away from challenges! You figure it out!
A help for summer frostbite to plants is to get up before the sun and water/wash the leaves of tender plants - you are gently warming them before the sun's heat shocks them .
Arielle & Eric, it is getting close to that time of the year to enjoy eating and canning your garden bounty. With that large high tunnel, you can extend your growing season by nearly a month on either end. YOU GUYS ROCK!❤❤
Chickens are looking good. Bandit looked cute on his dog bed. Your building projects are amazing!
Love the updates you just made my day🎉❤
Crazy what you two can do when you guys put your mind to it.
Great husband's are the best! Bringing joy to his Queen 👑. Just beautiful to watch.
I've seen posts that fall is coming earlier this year. One time in Seward in August we could see our breath in the morning. It was cold.
The place is looking good you all are getting a lot done.😊
Australian laughing uncontrollably at 80 degrees. That's not even 30c hahaha It is winter here and a low of 4 this morning and can get as low as -6c sometimes. It can snow but its rare.
Great video as always guys. Loved it!
Aussie from Queensland and I think 30 c is hot enough as is also comes with high humidity 🥵 Brisbane can get 4 deg c low in winter but our days are fantastic, low to mid 20’s. Love our winters.
Exceptional job on setting up that greenhouse frame! You guys crushed it again 👍
I swear you two could build a 5 star hotel!
I could literally watch you two tossing rocks out of the garden for 2 hours and still find it entertaining. I am so grateful that you continue to share some of your life with us here on RUclips. 🌸🐨🌸
Amazing!! You two work great together. Eric I swear you are Superman!
Impressive!! You guys never cease to amaze me! ❤❤❤❤❤
Holy smokes! You two amazing, love your channel
Yes my favorite married couple is on . I say it and say it again you guys work together so well. Much love 👍🏾
Your Red and White Asters are So Pretty!
I hope you Put a Stove in Hoop house and Extended your Growing Season!👍👍🤞🤞🤞🍀🍀🍀🫶🐛😀😀😀
Ariel is VERY trusting of "dead eye" Eric!
FLA Suncoast
ARIELLE
Happy to see you guys again! ❤
“Oh, there’s a chicken in the garden”. Voted best quote of the vlog. 👍🏻
Outstanding just what i wanted t see you build!!
Your garden has simply exploded. I guess it's the 20 hours of daylight y'all have there. Great videography of the flowers and bugs, as usual. This greenhouse is another capital improvement to your 'new' property that's going to make life easier for you - more work - but a better lifestyle. Can't wait to see it covered in plastic. I'm impressed that you've gotten oveer 110K views in just seven hours. Wow! You're so popular!
Man that meal looked so tasty. The Garden is so awesome.
I never canned before until watching your videos. Now my family and I can everything we can. I am really impressed with you two. Never change anything you do. You are truly homesteaders! I can't wait for the next video.
Eric lighting that stove was the absolute highlight of my week. You two are great, keep up the great work.
Nehemiah 4:6 mentions a people who were of a mind to Work. This reminds me of you. You use the power of determination, focus and courage to dive into something you’ve never done before. You’re doing it on a grand scale. I truly admire you both
Love Bandit, but wish he had an assistant dog to train to watch the chickens and help around the house.
One of the other homesteaders that I watch has his dog trained to look up if the chickens fuss. The other day he saw the hawk attack and interrupted it saving 2 different chickens.
Thanks for showing Pepper!
MUCH LOVE FROM KENYA
Crumpets, tea and Simple Living Alaska👍
Love seeing all that lovely garden growth......well done...and thx 4 bringing us along😊
