The greenhouse saga continues!
Ever since my brother and I put the roof panels into the greenhouse, there have been several that don't want to cooperate.
We first thought that everything needed to be cinched down. Nope.
Maybe a few caulking dots? Nope.
Caulking along the entire edge? Nope.
Just keep pushing them into place and pray that they stay put? Nope.
No matter what we did, those panels would always keep sliding down.
This has officially become a battle of wills. Who will win?
I came home from work, and my brother told me to go outside before I took my boots off. Uh-oh...
Those darn panels were so opinionated that a couple finally decided to wiggle out and find a new home on that blustery day. Thankfully, they didn't get far, and we were able to get them before they really went anywhere or got damaged. Thought you could run away, huh?

Thankfully, I didn't have any of the newly germinated plants in there yet.
So I turned to the all-knowing Google to see if it had any advice to dispense.
And it did.
I found a guy who grew in greenhouses, and he had an entire clip on what he used to keep his panels in place.
SCORE!
His recommendation? This stuff.
It can be applied wet, it sticks even when it gets wet, and (according to the You Tuber) lasted a long time. But it costs $10/roll. Valuable stuff this is.
So to the store we went.
Again.
We put the panels back into place, and secured the rebellious ones.
Fast forward a few days, and it was a dark and stormy night. Thankfully, my brother was outside the moment the front came through and immediately thought to check the greenhouse. One wall panel had completely come out and another one was seriously thinking about it. So there we were, putting panels in again and taping more all by flashlight this time around. It's a really good thing we had bought two rolls of tape.
Now no one is going ANYWHERE.
...At least, I hope...
Until next time!
