Went to Charleston today to do some clamming and get some information on our new Cell phone. There were some things that were not explained to us and we had question.
We had to stop at Bi-Mart since they had these real neat portable green houses for sale that were $89.90. They have metal shelves for your plants and it’s really quit large in size. A person can walk in them pretty easy. The cover is a plastic type canvas that is clear to allow the sun in. No we do no have flower in it yet.
It will serve a two fold purpose for us its large enough for us to store camping items that we want to keep out of the weather as well as a green house which we can use later.
Like I mentioned it’s portable and looks easy to put together. Of course we have all been there if you ever had to put together a play swing set for the kids or put together a small metal shed.
The directions say you can put it together in less then 1 hour.
I don’t know who ever wrote the directions but I am sure it was written bya person that hired an octopus that had several arms. The one hour install take me 1 day and a lot of miscellaneous screws and bolt and nuts that you never find out where they went too.
It is 74" long X 49"wide and X 74" high
The only problem I have to work out is how I mount it so the wind doesn't blow it away. Not much to tie down the building on the pavement in the RV Park.
Tried a little clamming today in Charleston and what an eye opener I mean really an eye opener.
This is what a person need to do when he or she first get up in the morning. To begin with first you must wait until a Typhoon is coming in and you have to get ready by put on extra weight on your sides to keep you from blowing away. Also have windshield wiper installed on your reading glasses
I mean Helen and I started walking in this god forsaken low tide muddy flat with nothing but flimsy old rubber boots that would get stuck in the mud every 3rd step .Of course the main necessity for clamming, your shovel, rake and you have to be sure you have your plastic bucket to put your bounty in which common thinking would say the bucket being light no biggie you say, AFRAID NOT.
You see when it did start raining and I mean raining and since your wearing eye glasses you think your wearing diving goggles that are leaking. Of course the wind comes up blowing the rain horizontally which is almost blowing you backwards. To make it worse the plastic bucket you gently hauled out to the flat I starting to act like a giant wind sock which is making your arm shoot straight out horizontally.
Now you’re in the mode of taking off to fly with one more bucket you probably would. Too really put the icing on your cake we just found five little clams. Geese hardly enough to feed a fly. Helen and were the only ones clamming out there we should have known something was wrong.
Will we ever do it again; you bet your life is a challenge. And this was one of them.
Good thing the 29Th of February only come around one every 4 years I really don’t think I could handle any more of this Leap year stuff.
