By Wednesday the frame was complete on the greenhouse, and we began to put up the plastic. It was windy, with some fairly powerful gusts. Unfortunately I missed the shot when the plastic, having been pulled all the way along the top, billowed up and tried to act as a sail to take the entire island on a Caribbean cruise, but you can see where the plastic is pushing against the ladder in this picture.
Once it was pulled carefully all the way along the top, it turned out to be too narrow, much to everyone's disappointment. (It was donated, and you can't look a gift horse in the mouth.) Unlike us impatient Americans, the Jamaicans simply shrugged and said, "Throw it down and turn it--we'll put it crosswise instead."
