Yep... I eyed your design already, I think on your website! I am pretty well convinced this is the ticket. Thanks for sharing. Great idea! Need to find a grate and get busy.

Nice pics. Nice location too. I spent my years in high school on Whidbey Island

Roughly when was that? I lived there from 75 to 83 and left there as a teenager.

Now working on moving back.

1967, 68. Times were good, then. Very fond memories of the ferry boat ride to the mainland, back and forth, back and forth.

Yup, and Geoducks (gooey ducks) and butter and razor clams at low tide. And Ivar's Acres of Clams on the waterfront. And the Space Needle as a teenager, monkeying around with my buddies.

Another brief update... I finally got the potting table/sink built and installed. Using my newly developed welding skills, I built a a table with 1-1/4in square tube and framed in a drop in laundry basin. On the right side, I used some melamine coated particle board and rabbited a groove to drop in a weber replacement grill. Thanks to fellow TBNer Troutsqueezer for this idea of catching spilled soil by placing a bucket underneath the grill.

I Tee'd off the faucet giving me a short hose for the sink and bucket filling/rinsing and a longer (marine) hose for misc watering. I do have a drip system around the perimeter of the greenhouse with lots of 1/4in tubing for misters and little sprinklers for pots. So, lots of water now!

It looks like you've got everything in that greenhouse now except for, wait.... is that a plant I see in the lower left corner?

Well... yes, this is a construction thread but we do have some green things growing. I suppose I could throw a couple of pics of them getting a nice watering... stay tuned
