Hey all, I recently got word that in order to do some renovations at my high school they need to demolish the greenhouse I've been using for years and that it's going to happen after this coming Wednesday. Since I was out of town and then had amnio and couldn't move around or lift anything that means today is the first day I can start doing anything to salvage what's inside, around, and part of the structure of the greenhouse.
I am desperate to get this structure deconstructed so the bones of it (and all the things I've worked to acquire through dedicated writing of grants and much hard work over the years) don't go in a construction dumpster.
I any of you are able to help it will require some lifting (moving things out of the greenhouse, moving some concrete paving
stones that make a path around the greenhouse) and deconstruction (taking the polycarbonate walls and ceiling off, saving the wood shelving and walkways inside the greenhouse as well as what looks to be good redwood that built the structure and the parts of a wonderful roofwater catchment system installed a few years ago as part of an Eagle Scout project).
If you are a timebanker I can offer time dollars.
If you come and help I can cover lunch.
If you are able please let me know.
Thanks,
Joan
"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need
to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
