Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

The back wall and the back roof and ½ the west wall and east wall will use the perfect wall design.




I will put up sheathing then Grace Ice & Water Shield 225 sq. ft. Roll Roofing Underlayment. Then three layers of 1 ½ form insulation. Then nailers and metal siding.

I am not doing this to make it last forever but for the insulation value. So when the 55 gallon drums release their heat it is kept in the greenhouse.

LOL I never really thought I'd see Dr. Lstiburek referred to on here.

Nice looking work. I love those Burke tubes...so easy to work with.
That mixer is a steal too. Great buy, and you probably already got your money's worth out of it.

that's a fascinating video. A lot about that makes sense

Here's one with Dr. Lstiburek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkfAcWpOYAA

amazing lecture thank you DEnd

My latest craigslist deals.
84 lumber 8’ 32” steel pre hung door fire rated and insulated.
20 7/16 4’ x 10’ OSB $222 for everything out the door. That should be all the OSB I will need for this project.

The door had some white paint over spray on it. It was a $200 door marked down to $50

We were able to get the insulation under the 4 x 6 ‘s and get them bolted down.

Hard to tell in the photo, can you get around to the back of the GB?

Yes you can get there. You have a little more than a foot to get past the wall then it is about 2’ to walk down the front.

The wall was going to be right against the front bed that why there is grass there not gravel. But I made the building 2’ larger to allow me to get to the front and when it is cold not have that cold so close to the plants.

you're a wise man. I was going to say, it's nice to be able to reach the beds from both sides too

Fresh Pico de Gallo all the tomatoes and serrano pepper is from our system.

We are still getting tomatoes every day.

Some of the garden is winding down like the broccoli is done and the cucumbers are just about done.
Pepper plant still has a pepper on the way. Some of the tomato plants are done but some are still doing great.
These watermelons are small but this one is very good nice and sweet.

Looks awesome. Just a few more weeks and I'll be in fall planting season.

Thanks.
Yes the next crop is on its way.
